Are gas prices the only economic news out there? Not so!

The economy grew at a 4.4 percent annual rate in the first quarter of this year, slightly faster than previously thought and fresh evidence that the recovery possessed good momentum as it headed into the current quarter.

The increase in gross domestic product from January through March reported by the Commerce Department on Thursday marked an improvement from both the 4.2 percent pace first estimated for the quarter a month ago and the 4.1 percent growth rate registered in the final quarter of 2003.

And that’s not all…

From April to June, the economy is expected to grow at a rate in the range of 4.5 percent to 5 percent, according to some analysts.

And there’s still more in the article. So now do you think we’ll be hearing about this generally good economic news in all these areas from the major media, or do you think they’ll harp on one bad number in a sea of good news?

I know which way I’m betting.
