That's what they get paid to do. (Actually, they get paid to get high ratings so advertising can be sold.) But to put much more weight on what they say beyond any other entertainment show probably doesn't add much to our basis of real knowledge on complicated subjects.

But I do hope his projections are wrong!
Good question. As we sat there watching the description of the end of America as we know it, my wife kept saying... "so what should we do?" He answered the question in the last minute... "PRAY"... (I kid you not); on the other hand, the DOW dropping another 250pts today terrorizes me a lot more than Glenn Beck. Everyday we here another solution from the President (the latest was cut the deficit by half in 4 yrs)... and with each pronouncement the Market plummits some more. People are not stupid. How in the world will our govt be able to cut the deficit by half in the next 4 years with our boomer generation completely sucking life out of the treasury via medicare and soc security entitlements. hurry up.... print moredollars.
