The US has 5 or 6 24 news networks and since its so crowded they even have started to openly slate the news. IE - Fox is conservative and MSNBC is more liberal. Its a shame.

They spread panic, people stop spending money and ten economy slows down more and more. Well I’ve been saying this for a while now - media in general is mostly responsible for the recession.

CNN is great for letting you know what is going on, however, CNN, as well as every other news affiliate is dramatizing the economic situation. Yes, things are really bad, however, when things are tough, good news goes that much farther. Most people in America have no idea that the stock market has been up the past three days and they won't because they will not get that information from their national news sources. When times are this tough, and the economy is in such turmoil, a glimmer of good news like that goes a long way; it gives people hope that the future is a little brighter. I agree.

Either be localizing or interest targeting. I stick with those and not with the big guys anymore. regarding the recession i think that much of it is based on governments acting in panic and with that spreading fear to the general public. When i see how full our shopping centers are - and those people are not only window shoppers - and how my customers react (in education) then i am not fearing a recession at all. as you say, the big news portals are no good anymore (except for breaking news) - nowadays every local newspapers online presence comes up with a news ticker that is taylored to its audience.

You are quite right, they only ever report the negative, not the positive. The house prices keep falling and people expect cheaper houses because the media keep telling them that the prices are falling. It has nothing to do with what the houses are worth, it is about what the media tells people they are worth. They feed the frenzy. I hope that the marketing budgets are cut so much that the newspapers and news agencies go bust!

Being as negative as they are does us no good :( It's surprising like you outlined here, all this talk of how really bad things are when the stock markets were falling almost every day, but yet after the up week, that doesn't make the headlines. It's surprising how the media always seem to put the "bad news" headlines as the main headlines. I would also add FOX to the mix as to me they same to me very negative.
