The media is often inaccurate in their business and financial information and idea comments. Always question the information and slants you get.
Three basic reasons for my doubt about the media:
One; the fact is that most reports are not in-depth. Reporters and columnists may not have the time to devote to the topic or they are simply too lazy for details.
Secondly; many do not know their subject. It is difficult to adequately discuss business or finance without real hands-on business and/or financial experience. Few in the media meet requirements.
And thirdly; the slant of most reporters and columnists who have learned from their college professors, have had a left-leaning bias thrust on them for a number of years. It shows in their career work. Too many have no idea how the real, day-to-day business and financial world works.
So my ingrained doubts about the media persist. (See the Earl J. Weinreb NewsHole® comments and @BusinessNewshole at Twitter.)
