I do wish people would be more specific when saying “the media”. There are a lot of media outlets out there, some are level headed, some are hysterical.
Which ones do you believe are level headed?
The Economist.
The financial press is always better on this sort of thing because they are only really interested in the economic outcomes.
Not really, the FT was the first one to go hysterical.
Yes, but media outlets that go "hysterical" are the ones that get the most views and get talked about most. Nothing we can do about that in a free society, it's just human nature.
Usually when people say "the media", they mean the mainstream liberal leaning news companies like CNN[1] or New York Times[2]. When talking about Fox (conservative media), people usually just say that.
You’re kind of proving the point here, the media does not only exist in some “conservative vs not conservative” binary. CNN is a cable news network, NYT is a subscription based newspaper. Their output differs accordingly.
