Take it easy with all of the doom and gloom!

For months, we have posted opinions that the news media is a bit out of control with their doom and gloom about the US economy.

We are not alone:

"Forty-six percent (46%) of Americans say most reporters and media outlets try to make the economy seem worse than it really is, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey.

In spite of all the economic bad news in the months in between, this is a slight improvement from July, when 50% said the media was guilty of painting a worse economic picture than the facts merited."
