The rising gas prices, the failing economy. When will the media learn? In my opinion it is not that we are in a bad economy. No, I believe that the media is much at fault for our nation's current rising costs and foreclosures.

They panic the citizens to the point that they think to far into their situation and fall into the lies of the media. The media says that gas could top $5 a gallon, I bet it will, but if the media had not said much then I believe that gas wouldn't have.

People are spending money and selling at a fast rate, because the media has created a national panic. We can't always let the media mix our words, if we do than we will slowly become a nation torn apart by the media.
