Media’s War on Happiness
The Lorax and the “The Doom Machine” Hi Reader, Here’s what our editors are looking at today… | | | Zach Scheidt: Combat the Doom Machine With Me Visit The New York Times website and try to find a positive story. Good news is an endangered species these days. The corporate media is waging a never-ending assault on your happiness.

Rising spending is alson't merely a US issue. The analyst notes that the International Monetary Fund predicts new spending could amount to 7%-8% of global GDP annually by 2030.
