Daily Wail = Its the end of world and we are all going to be completely broke in 6 months time due to immigrants
The sun = Its the end of world and we are all going to be completely broke in 6 months time due to a lack of big tits
The Express = Its the end of world and we are all going to be completely broke in 6 months time due to diana
The BBC = Its the end of world and we are all going to be completely broke in 6 months time due to the tory party
Sky news = Its the end of world and we are all going to be completely broke in 6 months time due to the labour party


Every single one of them constantly tells us we are all heading towards finical ruin and be totally jobless

So how much does this constant doom mongering depress the economy?

Ignoring the political bias of the BBC of which there are many many threads you would expect the the Beeb wouldn't be doom mongers but even before the election they doom mongering.

There is only one story on the BBC website which isn't we are all doomed

Don't the media have some responsibility to paint a slightly more realistic picture that we aren't all fked

Or wouldn't that be very popular?
