Does the media intentionally skew economic news to downplay the strength of the stock market and economy?

Public Comments

1. Yes!
2. Yes it probably does.
3. absolutely...i have a friend works for a major national network...it is so easy to do..
4. corporate owned media companies spew corporate propaganda.
5. Of coarse! Unlike missing blond white women, congressional scandals and other things such as 'fluff'. Then they hype those! Makes me wanna wretch! Have a great day!!! P.S. Hope I didn't catch you with the spray! LOL
6. the economic news as we see it is all farce, the truth of the economy is masked by skewed data and out right lies and incomplete data, economy is being supported by billions and billions of dollars in deficit spending, while the interest rates are kept low by offering the investors ( super rich) by giving them tax breaks on the interest income,
7. The media recognize that the stock market is Casino Economics and has nothing to do with their readers' economic concerns. Anyone who has been brainwashed by a medium such as fright-wing radio will think that those media that disagree with his implanted thoughts are biased.
8. It seems that way sometimes doesn't it?
9. No, because it wouldn't be in their best interest to do so. Remember that the media corporations are all publicly traded as well, and their interests are in their stock value first. They could report the stock market as much better than it really is, but then they'd have to face the SEC. Perhaps someone else is lying to you about the strength of the stock market? Someone who's currently low job approval rating depends upon it?
10. I doubt it
