Here is a good example of why it is that when leaning on sources to make judgements and decisions about what you think it is vitally important to consider the reliability and the aim of the source involved.
This is a video hosted on the website for a financial matters magazine. It is well put together and uses good voice talent for the narration (if I'm not mistaken it sounds like Sean Pertwee). It presents an economic doomsday scenario and, if you are not versed in economics, would leave you wondering when the sky was going to fall. It's quite long, so I don't expect people to watch it all (for it is a glorified advert for the magazines financial services anyway) but watch enough to get a flavour of it.
