The Economy and the Media

What is it with the press ? Why the constant barrage of negative spin ? I believe this constant bombardment of comparisons to the bad old days, falling house prices and job losses are actually adding to the depressive state we're in now. I don't say they're the cause (we know most of it's down to a bunch of bankers and bad policies) but I do say they add fuel to the fire. The more you read the more depressed you feel, it's as if the media have created this gigantic cloud looming over us and they just keep raining down negative news so much so that even subconsciously its got to affect you.

OR AM I WRONG ?
