Dan: having been in the 'journalism' field, when it could really be called that, I hate to point out that "media" has replaced journalism, even in relation to stock information.
It is more important to get attention to your brokerage firm, stock web site, news service, or TV station, than it is to have correct information. This is the one and only rule that governs any news in the U.S. today.
If anyone can bring attention to their employer, he/she gets rewarded with more exposure and possibly more money. Accuracy and truth are mere figments of OUR imagination.
Ergo,atml's record, output - whatever, are not important; only how to, er, 'create' movement in the market, and thus attention.
It reminds me of gangrene. |
