CNN, MSNBC anchors: Should we blame President Obama?

So I flipped on the Tee Vee Machine this morning, before President Obama’s speech, and I noticed the Dow was down over 200 points. For some reason that I can’t fathom, I was watching CNN, and they were running a big fat obvious chyron informing us that there was major economic trouble (again) overseas.

Just as I was about to change the channel, I heard the anchor ask the business reporter if the stock market drop was due to the president’s deficit plan, the one he hadn’t officially announced yet, but that had been leaked last night. “Did you not just read your own chyron?!” I screamed at my flat screen as I switched over to MSNBC.

And on MSNBC, I heard the anchor ask the business reporter if the stock market drop was due to the president’s deficit plan, the one he hadn’t officially announced yet, but that had been leaked last night.

In both cases, on both channels, the business reporters responded with, “No, this is a reaction to what’s occurring overseas.”

But the “news” dee jay on each respective station felt it necessary to ignore his/her own very visible news bulletins and get that negativity out there.

Your librul media at work.

    The MSM is only interested in selling discord, conflict, disunity, rumor, innuendo, and of course, anything salacious!  Where is “Uncle Walter” when we need him so badly??

    Yesterday afternoon I read on Bloomberg News, that Greek Prime Minister, at the last minute, was canceling his trip to the US because of Greece’s financial problems.
    I immediately knew the US markets would open lower, and this was confirmed Sunday night when the Dow Future Indexes indicated that the market would open 150 points lower on Monday, which happened.
    Now if I could figure that out, when can’t the news anchors, or those who right their script, figure that out.

    It’s so much easier than actually doing this thing called RESEARCH before you interview someone on National TV. Just go the easy route, simple, nothing complicated, like actual facts to confuse the ‘simple’ American public. Sheesh!
