Media is destroying America.

Jim Cramer is an entertaining person to watch. In case you don't know, he hosts a stock analysis show called "Mad Money" on CNBC. But the last few weeks have been nothing but excitement and fun from Jim. He's told nothing but doomsday wishes on the present state of our economy, which I think everyone knows is in shambles. Everyone knows cause NO ONE WILL SHUT THE FUCK UP ABOUT IT!

Let's evaluate just some of the ways that media is trying to remind us of the economy:
  • AT&T: "And these days, we can't afford to be wasteful."
  • Jim Cramer's appearance on the Today Show in October 2008: The beginning of his depression.
  • There's a McDonald's ad (can't find it on YouTube) that advertises its Dollar Menu and says "Now more than ever."
  • In recent weeks, Jeopardy has had clues about players in this crisis (Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, etc.) and Alex Trebek mentions how these names "are very much in the news these days."
  • Countless articles about how NASCAR race teams are shutting down due to money woes.
  • WWE's recent angle that has left Shawn Michaels, a top superstar, "bankrupt".
  • The instant opinions on Obama's version of the $787b stimulus and how it won't work for our economy (let's give it a few weeks and see how it works).
  • Not to mention the countless mentions on CNN, Fox, CNBC, MSNBC, (insert abbrevation here) about how we're getting worse and worse.
I could go on and on, but the point is....

WE ARE MAKING IT 100 TIMES WORSE BY TALKING ABOUT IT OVER AND OVER!

AND DOING NOTHING!!!!

Whether you listen to Cramer, the Democrats, the Republicans, whomever. I DON'T CARE! Just quit your damn moping on every damn television station in America and FIX IT! Just like what Charles Schwab is trying to tell you.
