ABC, during the 20/20 timeslot Friday, will feature John Stossel's Top Ten List of Foolish MythsOur popular media just can't be counted on as mythbusters! Here is John Stossel's list of myths repeated without question by many reporters in 2005.
No. 10: Americans have less free time than we used to.
No. 9. Money buys happiness.
No. 8: Republicans shrink government.
No. 7: The world is getting too crowded.
No. 6. Chemicals are killing us.
No. 5: Guns are bad.
No. 4: We're drowning in garbage.
No. 3: We're destroying our forests.
No. 2: Getting cold will give you a cold.
No. 1: Life is getting worse.

Stossel allows a little wiggle room. If you can't provide for yourself or your family money certainly helps the situation. And there is a hint of truth of some form in all the list. I expect Stossel's report will bring the facts to bear against all these myths.
I probably don't need to bother buying a Saturday Newspaper, since no doubt they will be just filled with corrections. ;)
