You name it, the media covered it. And their reporting was often wrong.<br/><br/>Take gas prices, a topic near and dear to our wallets these days. This spring, that gasoline could get close to $4.<br/><br/>But for years the networks have warned that gas prices would go that high and more.<br/><br/>At least 20 times from 2005 to 2007, the networks cautioned about prices hitting $5, and another six times for $6 or higher.</blockquote> <blockquote>Sometimes journalists gave up promoting cataclysm and decided to cheerlead for it. In a Feb. 20, 2008, column, the Washington Post's Steven Pearlstein attacked Wall Street, saying "the best thing that could happen to our economy is for a dozen high-profile hedge funds to collapse; for investment banking to enter a long, deep freeze; for a major bank to fail."</blockquote> <br><div border="2" style="margin-top: 10px; border:#000000 1px solid;" width="90%"><div style="background-color:"><div align="center" width="100%" style="padding:4px;margin-bottom:4px;background-color:#666666;overflow:hidden;"><span style="color:#FFFFFF;font-weight:bold;">Clip Source: <a style="color:#FFFFFF;" href="http://www.investors.com/editorial/editorialcontent.asp?secid=1502&status=article&id=292204746219864" title="http://www.investors.com/editorial/editorialcontent.asp?secid=1502&status=article&id=292204746219864">www.investors.com</a></span></div><div style="padding: 10px;"><div style="text-align:left;"><P>Wall Street neared "meltdown" following the Bear Stearns debacle, according to all three broadcast TV news shows.
