No News, good news.

Since the financial crisis has started (more than a year ago) and as it escalates to recession for several countries, I can’t ignore the ‘rape’ of information that media is producing day in day out. Mostly radio and TV stations, as they have the most impact, present news the worst way possible, developing and climaxing a rage and sorrow from anyone that looks and listens.

Banks with no money, governments that collapse, companies that are bankrupt … are all presented thoroughly and all have their ‘own conspiracy theories’. Almost a century after the last recession, the new recession came to remind us, the main principle of growth: production.

TV stations however are not interested in understanding and tackling issues revealing the real causes behind the problems. They really care about one thing. Selling airtime, selling bad news.

My answer to all this, as with the luster of the banks, is that eventually GOOD will prevail. A typical Greek drama always ends with ‘catharsis’.

Companies with vision and people with skills will generate a new era of wealth, based on production. Consumption will be realigned with real demand and we, the humanity, will have learned another good lesson. The stereotype … that money is not everything !!!
