Stephen; The thing that is getting to me with Yahoo..is it seems for them to get into the UK they had to give Reuter news service some sort of exclusive. I have for some time been a harsh critic of Reuters. They are basicly a UK news service and I'v noticed over and over again how they slant this in a subliminal way to undermine most any thing they can about the U.S., politics stocks and all. They are selective with what they publish..and the editoral content is not objective, but in a way sort of clandestine anti U.S. they take on an assumption of infallibility, and use a condescending tone towards the U.S. Not long ago I got a report they they were caught behind a hacker type attempt to shut down Bloombergs net work..to me this was disgusting..seems to have been hushed up..I guess the old saying Money Talks , and that justice is for sale to the higgest bidder has a lot of truth in it. -------------------------- Here is part of that clip you pointed at. The stock market has shrugged off a slew of corporate profit warnings from heavyweights including Intel Corp. (INTC - news), Compaq Computer Corp (CPQ - news) and Motorola Inc (MOT - news). The pace could pick up as the quarter winds down. ---------------------- That was the most apperant discrepencey in their over all negitive slant..and the lack of objectivity in it will likely fly right over the head, of most readers and impact with a subliminal message they are trying to hammer home, every damm time they get a chance..this is the garbage "Reuters" spews out.. Take A good look at the statement in bold above..and the "shrugged off" then look at the companies..INTC has not shrugged it..it's down 25% CPQ has not shrugged it. its down almost 40%..MOT has not shrugged it it's down about 40%..what do they want blood..yep you bet it They look like they are somehow convinced the UK will do better if they can just crash the U.S...they don't talk that way about their own market or U.K. companies ------------------------------ Not only that the NEWS was supposed to be about the Oil Deal, They followed with a series of non-sequitur statements that expose their motive as they hammer away with a forcast of doom and gloom, and only if you pay particular attention to the style they use will you catch the malevolence they have for us lerking under the surface..this happens over and over, and over this is not an isolated case.. Reuters Sucks they hate our guts, and try to disguise it..there is no objectivity. I'm convinced they only halfass check their sources..it's bringing me at odds with Yhoo whom I always favored.. Please don't look so much at "what they say but how they say it" and how they use artifice to weave their malign crap into the fabric of the message, this is their style..it's repeated over and over.. Reuters is sick, their editors are sick, and if you listen to their editorials shaped as forcast they will cause you to become sick. News service should give news , objective news..not a bunch of editorals the three companies mentioned have been hammered and good..the market has not shruged off that bad news you lieing bunch of pompus wimps do you hear Me Reuters..yur full of mad cow disease or something and I'm feed up with you..and I'm going to declare war on you; are you ready Reuters..if not get ready.
