The Economy Isn't Hopeless; It's The Press
From the article: QUOTE One look at statistics — from GDP growth to the unemployment rate — and it's obvious this isn't the worst economic time in U.S. history. But it might be the worst journalistically. The major media give us only two degrees of economic news — close to "apocalyptic" and worse. They are so outlandishly negative that coverage of the Bear Stearns buyout was vastly worse than reporting of the 1929 stock market crash. It's not "the economy, stupid", it's "the stupid media". This morning, something that one would consider good news from Iraq - Iraq's oil exports rise - was burried in a small article on page 9 of our local paper. Part of the MSM's bias seems to be against good or optimistic news of any type. Maybe we'd all, at least all Americans, be better off reading Grit Magazine , at least the way it used to be - "America's Greatest Family Newspaper" - carrying uplifting and positive news only. Just an observation. -------------------- I know you think you understand what you thought I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant!  |
