Media Make Economic Storms Out of Silver Linings
The
American news media declared the U.S.
economy in
free fall as it slowed in March of 2008. But much economic
data hasnt supported that negative view. Recently journalists
have wrung the negatives out of stronger-than-expected numbers
for retail sales, consumer spending and economic growth, as well
as lower-than-anticipated job losses. Despite some economists
downgrading recession forecasts the media keep seeing the dark
clouds.

Media's 'green is good' philosophy strangles our energy
policy.
