Only speaking for myself, I read Munch's "media hype" statement as it seems like all the news is "OMG Recession! OMG it's another depression! OMG it's only days until we're all in Hoovervilles and standing in soup lines!"

I don't deny that yes, it is hard times out there and there are millions of people who are severely impacted by the current state of the US and World economies. Those who may not be as affected read/hear those news stories and think "well, if it's that bad, I better cut back on spending and start saving, etc..." thereby decreasing their personal stimulus on the economy and so on and so forth.

It's kind of like having a coworker who is always pessimistic about everything. If you hear them bitch and complain about everything all the time, eventually you start to get kind of pessimistic, too.

IDK, maybe that's just my overly simplistic way of thinking.
