It's not a simple "mistake", it is simply LAZY to write an article thrashing our industry without even making an attempt to investigate the facts. I was interviewed this week by Newsweek for an international article investigating the effects of Payday Lending Regulation (or lack thereof) on the American economy/people and abroad. The writer was very interested in actually LEARNING about the PDL industry from all sides, and was happy to digests many facts and figures I had prepared for him. But, his is writing INTERNATIONALLY, and that type of unbiased research certainly wouldn't fly in US media outlets. We don't want to think, or **GASP!!** perhaps challenge our preconceived negative notions of these "Payday Lending" sharks!! American media/populace is getting way too "1984" for me.... We will, and LOVE to believe what we are supposed to. Along with a “correction”, they should issue an apology to their readers for side-stepping their responsibility to ACCURATE reporting!!
