CW 609 FBF - Foreclosure Fraud Explained with Greg Hunter Investigative Journalist & Founder of USAWatchdog.com
12/18/15 • 28 min
Jason Hartman talks with the founder of USAWatchdog.com, Greg Hunter, who has nearly nine years network experience as an investigative correspondent. He worked for ABC News and Good Morning America for nearly six years. Most recently, Greg worked for CNN on shows such as Paula Zahn Now, American Morning and various CNN business shows. Greg is a hard hitting reporter who has a history of getting to the truth no matter how difficult the subject. Some of his stories include “Dangerous Deadly Depleted Uranium Munitions,” where Hunter uncovered the Army’s lack of warning for radioactive dust exposed to our troops on the battlefield.
In a story called “Produce the Note”, Hunter uncovered in 40 percent of foreclosures the bankers cannot prove they legally own the property. If an embattled homeowner knows that fact, it could mean the difference between being thrown out in the cold and having a roof over his head. And in a report in March of 2008, Hunter exposed the hidden fact the banks were in trouble and the economy was headed for a fall. Greg warned viewers of the coming problems long before other reporters picked up on the looming financial catastrophe. In 2009, many in the mainstream media said things such as “no one saw the crisis coming.”
Hunter joined ABC News in 1999 from WTSP-TV in Tampa. He has earned a “National Headliner Award,” an International “Freddie Award” for health and medical reporting, as well as investigative reporting awards from both the “Society of Professional Journalists” and the “Radio Television News Directors Association.”
