The media negativity is crashing our economy (unemployment rate, Mexican, legal)

[Dopo]

Anybody remembers republicans crying because "The media only shows negative things about the war" (It's a ........ing war, idiots)

Now everybody says that the economy is crashing in the US because
the stock market runs on investors confidence

If that true, then It's the media's fault
for not showing more positive news to give investors confidence.

Are you advocating so kind of government control of the media? They can report on whatever they want; whether or not it is right or wrong.. Well that is for the viewer to decide. The fact of the matter is bad news sells.

The same problem occured in the 1970s when the media, and the president(s) did absolutely nothing to give anyone the slightest bit of hope. History repeats itself.

I'm not advocating for the government to run the media.

I'm advocating for the media to stop scaring investors with all their negative coverage and attacks of the new president.

Don't worry it will turn around soon.

Oh, so the media is supposed to LIE about pesky little things like jobless claims, unemployment rates, consumer spending, wholesale prices, real estate activity, etc. just to make people feel good and prop up the prez.? Right.

Generally speaking, situations are often WORSE than what we're being told and we find out the truth after the fact.

Obama didn't need the media to shake consumer confidence, he seemed to do a fine job himself every time he opened his pie hole.

That's because there's no positive news to report.

If the media can write positive stories about a war,
they can try just as hard to find positive stories about the economy.

I bet there's a hell lot of businesses that are doing good: Dollar store, Wal-mart, mechanics, farmers markets, etc.
Anything that has to do with people saving money.
