Yesterday CNN ran a story about a woman fighting off foreclosure on her house by suing her realtor because her loan officer was already out of business. The woman was a librarian and makes around $52k a year and bought a house for over $500k. No mention whatsoever in the story about why this woman thought she'd be able to handle a mortgage 10x her annual income. It was all greedy lenders' and realtors' fault. The CNN reporter didn't ask her at all why she thought she could afford that house.
