RE:>>Not one of these articles referenced supply chain impact. Only Yahoo did.<< Most of the people prefer the media to "edit"the news for them and take out the worry..... tell them what they should think... why do you think after a political debate or speech they spend the next hour telling you what was said.... people do not know how to think for themselves i.e. why many of us call them "sheeple".

>>>Have any thoughts on why Washington Post, Wall Street Journal and AP chose to ignore this? I find this exclusion particularly interesting with WSJ.<<< I find the contrast interesting, too. I had read those three articles on the Senate report much earlier in the morning. I considered posting them then but they really were just party line with no new information and I didn't see any reason to antagonize the board over them. <g> Later when you posted the Yahoo version, I saw how different the emphasis was so I posted them for contrast. It would be great to see the Senate report and judge for ourselves the relative prominence of good vs. bad news. It could be that the report did not emphasize supply chains. Re the Journal, they may be following up with something more extensive later. When I woke up this morning to CNBC, Alan Murray of the WSJ was talking about the release of the Senate report. When I got on line this morning around 7:00 (eastern), I went right to the Journal looking for it and found only the AP article. It was later in the morning that the Journal published its own article. (I just looked briefly at the print version and didn't see anything about it.) So it could be that they just did a quick-and-dirty and we will see more later. Alan Murray's comments were more extensive, although I was half asleep and can't recall what, if anything, he said about supply chains. I'll keep an eye open. Re the AP article, it was dated yesterday so it may also have been a preliminary entry as well. Karen
