OT To ALL: USA TODAY (Page 13A) has a good article on media manipulation (during big down days) involving the stock market(s)...Uses (as an analogy) a former beat writer (decades ago) that would up the body count (in disasters) in order to get his story published on the front page (in front of other stories, writers), and then would get a SECOND DAY front-page story when he ran his retraction (about the number of actual bodies).....Scary thing is, a lot of investors react based on front-page media concerning the markets.........Give it a read!
