Remember the media made sugar shortage?
Independent: We are a nation of hysterics
Remember the sugar shortage of 75 that never should have been but was caused by the media reporting there MAY be a shortage thus causing the public to panic and actually created a shortage. So the media was right afterall as they created the proof they needed for their breaking news!
In the first weeks of 1975, British consumers faced with a sugar shortage regularly ransacked their local grocery stores. There were frequent accusations that some shoppers were hoarding the newly-prized foodstuff, stuffing their larders with supplies as if the country had returned to wartime conditions. The hoarders probably consoled themselves with the thought that it was better to be safe than sorry.
So let's hope that the media don't start forecasting a housing crash!!!!!!
