All good points, however I do have to take issue with one statement. Sorry Scotty, you know I respect you & love you, BUT I don't agree that "the media" was "a big contributing factor to the mess (financial) that were in." Pure & simple it was greed & lots of it. Unregulated & unmitigated greed by Wall street, banks, lenders & others. The 5 most recent head commissioners of the SEC believed that less regulation & government oversight of the financial industry was better. Well that was a big contributing factor that led to the mess were in. "The media" has a duty & an obligation to inform the public. The problem is that a lot of people believe that it is biased because it is not reported consistent with their own opinions hence it is biased. When it is reported consistent with the listener's opinions then it is not biased, it is unbiased & accurate. IMHO. My $.01 worth.
 
Agreed, but as I read Scott's statements I see exactly what he is saying. The media has forced issues into everyone's home. They have also been biased in their views(on both sides). 24/7 coverage is not a good thing. How many of us remember Geraldo and CNN on in Iraq showing our troops on the ground? How many realize that CNBC financial coverage only has ONE reporter with a financial background. Yes, read their bios they are all journalists.

I read Scott's points not as the media caused the mess, but the media contributed to our fear of the mess we are in. Let's face it, there was a lot of greed and HORRIBLE decisions made from all points of corporate America, but had we not been spoon fed every word would it have been this bad?? Who knows?

Back to the lighter side of news, what is Jon & Kate's announcement on Monday going to be? :D:D
 
Thanks CK, that was the point I was mumbling across. It's hard to type cohesive sentences on your crackberry.

As for Jon & Kate...big announcement is she is leaving Jon for the body guard, Jon is going to work for Orange County Choppers, and the kids are going to be taken care of by the nanny's....

Now back to your regular programming.
:)
