They are the FREE PRESS

Free to write and print anything they darn well please.

Heck, they don't even have to give up sources and methiods.

The Networks? That may be a seperate issue.

Schumer aka "Little Chucky" Schumer caused a run on a bank and ?????

the press have made it worse to the point where it is almost self fulfilling prophecy!

They caused Congress to jump feet first into it which has inturn spooked the banks.

Everyone is waiting for the other shoe to drop.

What will the new rules be?

Until the congress butts out or spells out the new rules, I see no hope in the near future.

A real shame for all of us.

  They got their coup by making the financial crisis sound worse than it was. They got their man in. But the beast has been unleased and it is hard to get a chain on him.

 Make no mistake though. We need a President that will stand up and say we are going to get through this. One that can instill confidence.

  What we have so far is Jimmy Carter II. Put on a sweater and get ready for a long cold winter because our best days are behind us. We are being told to turn down our thermostats, get rid of our SUV's, stop eating food we like, and that we are the problem on this planet.

Although I hate the majority of the media with the burning passion and hatred of a thousand suns, bordering on the criminal, as well as having very lucid recurring, haunting dreams of hunting most of the last vestiges of them down with a large calibre revolver, while they run naked in a desert wastland, I do not think they should be held liable or be sued for their aggressions against true democracy and being traitor's against the American people.

Very shortly, seeing these arrogant, bourgeois, privleged sycophantic fools bloodying and climbing all over each other for the last dumpster morsel behind the local 7-11 and fighting with dog's and cat's over scraps from a boxcar hobos stolen lunch will more than make up for it.

Don't forget treason. The NYT especially. No one is held accountable when they let terrorists know our methods and intentions. Ans it's not like they accidentally give something away, they actively try to demoralize our troops and purposefully give the enemy a cheering section. Who knows how many of our troops died because of them. Those people should be hung by the neck.

It's the same as creating panic when shouting fire in a building. What's even worse is that the Press and Politicians created a psychological crisis through constant negative commentary on financial issues. There has been a constant drumbeat of negativity against Republicans that continues to affect opinion in the country. I'm totally amazed at the belief of friends and acquaintences that lay the causes of the "poor economy" only at the feet of George Bush and the Republicans.

I'm still not convinced that the media did not create the whole thing.  I wonder how long before they approach Congress for a bail out?

Reading this post one might conclude that 100 per cent of Americans polled are familiar with "the financial press". I hold the mainstream financial press in distain as well but for a different reason. Having been mindless parrots for Wall and K Sts for so long they have lost anchors to reality. Seems to me the time some fear would have done folks good was 6-9 mos. ago. The very time NB was nixing the idea of recession, just something being stirred up in the press. Just like today. Chilling quote from a touted "national epert":

"One would hope that the media would act less out of self-interest in these times of national crisis,"

And just in whose interest should the media act? Our Great Leader's? Apparently. The begs the question of how the media advances it's self-interest by hoping their customers go broke.

Or perphaps this poll is just an expression of the publics ire and need to lash out and transfer lack personal responsibility to others.

Stock charts are only a projection of mass pyschology. Price movements of long periods of time are not affected by media exageration so much as the ebb and flow of emotions, primarily fear and greed. We have heard so much lately about how toxic greed is. Greed's antidote is fear, now we are hearing that too much fear may put you in front of a judge. What's a poor boy to do? dlog yub

A common language is essential for communications within the 'Information age' yet modern day educators say that a common language is NOT necessary or warranted.

I watched a video debate not long ago between several technical writers and their take on the relevance of printed media in technology.

The consensus of these writers was that it is impossible for printed media - magazines, newspapers etc. - to compete with the internet on quick and detailed information. 

The same is true with newspapers. Add in the bias factor and we are witnessing the 'death rattle' of the printed media. Most Americans do not want detailed unbiased information and the rest want more detailed and unbiased information.

Faster, better and cheaper is changing the world and that includes the printed media.

Areas like San Francisco are already caught in the 'Common Language Crises' and will probably be the first to lose a large newspaper.

The MSM has been talking the economy and consumer confidence down for years. When their efforts finally started to yield results, they hyped it up even more. The so called "financial crisis" was manufactured and fomented partially as a result of this process. In my opinion, not only are the media liable, they are almost the sole cause.

Hey, I got the wrong "CHANGE"!
