Now look around our own industry at those being extremely pessimistic. I'm sure you'll find many hawking their own politicized dire warnings.

News publications and media have always sought out the counter points to any news story, so they dont seem overly supportive. It just happens that it tends to be the loudest extreme voices that get the most attention to fill this contrarian role.

That said, it's usually safe to bet any extreme contrarian is likely a little bit right, which makes it hard to entirely dismiss them.
