Join the NewsHunt: Rate Online Coverage of the Economy
In 1992, Former President Bill Clinton won supporters over with the message, "It's the economy, stupid." 16 years later, we're again in the midst of a heated presidential election, and again the economy is at the top of everyone's minds. But how can you separate the good from the bad from the mediocre in the vast sea of information available online about mortgages, jobs, and how these issues may affect the upcoming election?
Today, NewsHour and PBS Engage are teaming up with NewsTrust.net and the University of Nevada to seek out the best stories about the economy during the week ahead. NewsTrust is a network of citizen reviewers and journalists, who analyze and rate online news stories for accuracy and bias by scoring them in categories such as "context," "sourcing," and "enterprise." You're already reading about the economy in sources across the web - share your knowledge and join the NewsHunt by signing up here.
To get you started, NewsHour's business and economy topic page provides in-depth coverage of the economy and how it's affecting the 2008 presidential race.

ECONOMY & FREE ENTERPRISE
I THINK NO COMPANIES CORPORATIONS BANKS ETC.SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO BUY OR MERGE , IF THEY ARE IN THE SAME BUSINESS,LIKE A BANK BUYING ANOTHER BANK OR A CAR COMPANY BUYING ANOTHER.CAR COMPANY OR A OIL COMPANY BUYING ANOTHER OIL COMPANY ETC. ETC. BECAUSE IN MY OPINION IT REDUSES COMPETINION ,COMPANIES BUY THIER COMPEDETERS AND OVER TIME THESE COMPANIES GET TO BIG AND THEY THEMSELVES RUN IN TO TROUBLE.WE THE CONSUMERS HAVE FEWER CHOICES IN PRODUCTS WE BUY, SERVICES WE USE AND PRICES WE PAY. IF THEY HAVE TO MUCH MONEY GIVE IT TO THE SHARHOLDERS IN THE FORM OF DIVEDENS.BUT IN MOST CASES THEY BUY OTHER COMPANIES BY DILUTING THE VALUE OF THE SHARES.WHEN A COMPANY WANTS TO SELL MORE SHARES AND DILUTE THE STOCK. THE SHAREHOLDERS SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO VOTE AND GIVE THIER APPROVAL TO DO SO.
