The media and our economy

Every time you listen to the general news from the major networks, you hear news about how messed up the economy is. I think we all know that there are issues with the economy. That doesn't mean that the media needs to put a constant spin on the negative aspect of our situation, it just makes the situation worse.

You never hear a story about how a families are saving money, or about companies that ARE creating jobs and doing well. This good news is drowned out by the bad news. When people see all this bad new, they panic, get upset, act irrationally. When we see it over and over again, it has a severe impact on how we think about things. Because of the effect information has on people, that makes the media responsible for the poor economy.

Perhaps when money is no longer paramount to progression, will we see a change in what the news chooses to feed us.
