"That's the problems with news organizations they dwell on the negatives." No, they are "momentum" organizations instead. The criticism heaped on the press much of the past two years is that when the "bubble" was in its 'up' phase, the media did not sufficiently explain the risks involved. They were, it was said, part of the bubble problem. News organizations are not leaders. They just go with the flow. Now it can be argued that they should never "lead". Then you'd have news reported from a slanted viewpoint. (OK, some of you are going to reply that the media is biased already. That's your opinion, and I'm not going to get into a long debate that really has no resolution.)
