Why so much doom and gloom in the media?

Question. Why is the media so negative about the US economy?

First, they don't like Pres. Bush.

Second, the newspaper business is all doom and gloom.

Take a look at this:

"Moody's Investors Service said Friday it may cut its rating of the New York Times Co.'s debt because of the company's weak cash flow, high financial leverage, and declining margins." (http://www.editorandpublisher.com/eandp/news/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1002198733 )
