Businessman Dan Kennedy writes on the Business & Media Institute site Wednesday that the business media does a good job of reporting about entrepreneurs, but the mainstream media ignores their story during difficult economic times.
“So they’re prepared for the invasion of government equity snatchers and the massive new regulation of every business from corner store to giant manufacturer. They’re not shocked when the government doles out trillions in bail-outs, for bridge building, for computerizing medical records, or — as recently requested by its mayor — for driving prostitutes out of downtown Dayton, Ohio. The millions who never read business media and rely on Katie or Brian or Wolf or — worse — Jon Stewart for their news are being lied to by grand omission, driven to paralysis and despair, convinced that only a benevolent, socialist bureaucracy can save them. Gee, and we bemoan the lack of consumer confidence.”
