If you're looking for a party, Wall Street probably isn't the place you're going to find one. And to make matters worse, there are apparently people out there who are wilfully trying to make the life of the people on Wall Street (and subsequently, the rest of the world) even harder. By making up fake stories. And publish them on CNN's Digg - iReport.com. Some individual had posted a fake report last Friday, claiming Steve Jobs had suffered from a heart attack and was rushed into the hospital. As a result, Apple's stock made a 10% nosedive.

The concept of a responsible free press was myth from the beginning.
The man who reads nothing at all is better educated than the man who reads nothing but newspapers. -- Thomas Jefferson
I'm not sure why think you're fundamentally disagreeing with me about media irresponsibility, because we both seem to be saying that it's widespread to the point of being ridiculously bad.

So that explains the lovefest for Obama? Or the former lovefest for Bush on FOX?
The News media betrayed the notion of Free Press decades ago.
