Credit Dating Hype Part 2

So, the hype just continues to snowball; now NPR has picked up on the story. Earlier today they featured an interview with Jessica Silver-Greenberg who wrote the New York Times article which reinvigorated the public interest in credit score dates. How many more times will media rehash the same story again and again? The entire story is based on an article about a dubious blog post and supported by a flimsy website. Again, I have no problem with the entire concept of credit score dating; I have a problem with the idea not progressing toward fruition. All of the stories in the mainstream media are based on two or three sources, hardly what could be called balanced reporting. Anyway, if the trend is to continue, I hope that a little depth begins to form.
