Media to blame for causing panic

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 they are too 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, then we will slowly become a nation torn apart by the media.
