Interesting article on the evening news last night. The media have been accused of making the credit crunch worse than it actually is. Whilst there is no doubt we are in a terrible world-wide recession the media mentioning it constantly is apparently making it worse.

They may have a point. This week we have had our bad weather over here. The news covered it along the lines of "after the credit crunch comes bad weather". When there is some good news it is reported "despite the credit crunch an old chap managed to win the lottery".

Of course the recession is the biggest news going and all these media types want to win their awards i guess
