What is the Media trying to achieve by always telling us how bad the housing market is all day long?

yeah, i hate the fact the talk about it so much to. that's why i hate watching the news on TV. i rather read the head lines and choose what i want to hear.
i really want a house rate now but like everyone should just sit tight and see what going to happen. maybe nothing but it is best to be safe then sorry.
personally something is happening and its big. when big company's can not get there loan renewed, they are cutting back on spending, closing hundreds of stores and firing thousands you know there is something going on.
the housing market was way to high and people can not afford it. what cost 200,000 just 3 years ago is 600,000 now that's 3x more and were my family lives in Vancouver its 800,000 for a basic 4 bedroom house. that's crazy and it needs to change so everything is going to hit, and hit hard.
people have to remember for the future not to jump into buying things they can not afford.
in the end, i think its for the better but i truly feel sorry for the people that it hits the most.
like my father aways told me"what doesn't kill you makes you stonger"
