With all the talk of bailouts and recession these days, have you ever wondered what it would be like if the media actually promoted positive topics instead of such constant negative broadcasts into the air waves every day? All we hear about is how bad things are and the terrible mess we’re in. Of course they’ve been saying that long enough to get us all to believe it and stop spending – would it have mattered if it was true or not? I wonder just how much they control how we Americans spend our money? Or better yet, I wonder how much of what the ytell us we actually believe!

We’ve had car manufactures wanting government bailouts because of their lack of good management (as some say). I even heard that Hustler Magazine is now asking for a government bailout because their magazine is on the down swing. They believe a bailout is necessary because people can’t live without sex and if their magazine goes under…. Are you kidding me?

With all of that said I would like to point out some interesting things I’ve observed during this recession. Maybe what we really need is a Media Bailout!

The lines in the grocery store are always long and the carts are full. Why do people not understand that 20 items or less is there for a reason! The wait is at least 15 minutes to get into a chain restaurant on a Friday night because of the crowds. The new movie Marley & Me brought in $24 million just this past weekend with $106.7 million in the first week of its release! Wow! My sister works for United Airlines and she says the lines at the airport are long and the flights are full.

But, the best news - the ski slopes in places like Keystone, Colorado are packed with skiers, great snow and vacation condos are being rented for winter vacations! Keystone is hopping and our properties are filling up on a daily basis. The phones are ringing and people are booking their ski vacations!

Here’s what I would suggest to those of you who are about as tired as I am of hearing all the negative broadcasts – take a Media Bailout! Head on up to Summit County and enjoy some fresh air and great snow. If you need a place to stay I would suggest River Run Village in Keystone, Colorado. River Run has some of the best-priced ski lodges in Summit County. Some are only a small walk away from the new Gondola. If you need any help with booking, Take a Peak Lodging would be glad to help you find the best deal possible.

So take a Media Bailout and join us on the slopes. You’ll be glad you did!
