Bearish News
Financial media and analysts are hopelessly biased in favor of bulls. They constantly search for the silver lining; bright spots, green shoots. While not done maliciously, this often-unfounded optimism impedes economic progress. Distorting the true picture provides a temporary boost, at best. If the government encourages reckless spending when people should rationally be tightening their belts, the result is inefficiency and distortion of functional markets.
