Hear, hear, and well said CB !
In line with that, we know the press read these pages - and to them I'd like to reiterate what the UK Sun newspaper (uhm, a contractiction in terms ? ) rather surprisingly wrote yesterday, i.e.
The media has a responsibility not to do the terrorists' work for them. Presenting rumour as fact and scare-mongering is just what our enemies want.
And a note from history - President Franklin D Roosevelt warned the media as follows:
In the absence of all the facts, as revealed by official sources, you (Editors) have no right in the ethics of patriotism to deal out unconfirmed reports in such a way as to make people believe that they are gospel truth.
Every citizen, in every walk of life, shares this same responsibility.
So, as CB says, let's spread the word, start being upbeat, and kill the negativity, coz if we don't we'll sure as hell talk ourselves into yet more job losses.
