Bulls and Bears: Which way are we really going?

Being an avid news reader, I note that on a daily basis there seems to be a dramatic swing between the Bulls and Bears, the optimists and the pessimists. At best, the news media outlets are a machine that exists to funnel the latest and greatest bits of information to our eyes and ears, for our digestion and use in our day to day lives. The paradoxical nature of ‘sex sells’ and ‘drama is news, news sells papers’ sometimes leads to conflicting messages through the news channels.
