What is so utterly absurd about this thread - is that the media CONSTANTLY tries to make the economy look BETTER than it is - and this most certainly includes Fox News.
Examples are headlines that go something like this: "Housing starts gives hint to economic recovery" - or "manufacturing data lifts Wall Street and gives sign of much needed growth" - then the articles may even contain a graph that gives no historical perspective. The entire articles are a false pretense, they do this almost weekly with the housing market especially.
The media tries to make the economy look better then it is?
Since when?
The stock market is flying high..you see anyone in the media popping corks over it?
Major companies are making historic profits in this country. Really historic. The oil industry has made more money during the Obama administration then all industries. combined, in the history of capitalism. Where's the celebration?
Seriously..get a new meme.
