Is the economy in such doldrums and the media is representing that, or are the doldrums caused by the media creating and amplifying consumer fears? I don't mean to paint the economic picture as rosy. There are clearly many challenges at present, but I just don't subscribe to the chicken little view put forth by the media daily. Chief Family Officer,

Perhaps THE best thing about the internet is the way it has exposed the way mainstream media manipulates the news it presents. As for the economy, whatever the stats say, it <i>feels</i> like we are in or at least we are heading into a recession. I'm not saying one is inevitable, just that people are acting like it, and prices on many every day items are increasing noticeably. How much of that is due to talk of a recession and how much of it is truly due to the economy is debatable, I suppose :) I have to say, I don’t watch any mainstream media anymore (well, except for the local news, and that’s just for traffic and weather!).

Thanks for stopping by Mark. I guess if that’s her only vice, it’s not too bad. ;-)

It's her only vice so what can I say. It does make it harder to convince her of the facts. We are loading up our emergency fund and investments. This was a timely post. I'm justa saying!
