NPR Radio News TOH Headline Lede...

"Stocks tumbled today after President Trump threatened to shut down the government"

Today's stock "tumble" was
Dow 30: 21,812.09
Close: -87.80 (-0.40%)

A whopping 0.4%



I never thought I see such open dishonesty and misleading. This has gotten ridiculous. It's straight up propaganda.

What did they call yesterday's 124 point uptick, an insignificant gain?

Def not an expert in markets but what i do know is if you are worried about small daily movements then you are either a brilliant day trader or a fricking imbecile. -Hats off to the brilliant day traders.

To the rest...

Doesn't matter what they called it. It is what it is....racist White Privilege.

So when the Dow went from 6k to almost 20k under Obama it means businesses supported his policies and admitted success?

When the government is pumping in free money to you to use, sure.

You mean from >14k (Without QE) to 20k (with several trillion in QE)?.

And that has nothing to do with the subject of this thread.

If you can't defend NPR... GTFO. The attempt at deflection is silly.

HAHAHA! They dropped it. This hour's lede was "President Trump struck a tone of unity in an address to the American Legion."

A Canadian I was gaming with today said exactly this. I asked what exactly was wrong with a record breaking surging stock market. He got quiet and admitted there was no good response to that question.

After further conversation he started to realize the MSM he listens to needs to be vetted and tested as their version of things doesn't match the reality of what is actually happening.
