Somewhat on topic - this is strictly a personal observation from my local standpoint, but I find it interesting and wonder how the rest of the nation is reporting.
I'm curious about the news coverage (daily paper) in your parts of the country regarding the economy. For the months leading up to the election, my paper, The Houston Chronicle, had the falling stock market on the front page, complete with pictures of stockbrokers with their hands over their faces, lamenting the end of the world. It was DOOM and GLOOM every day!!
It is surmised by many pundits that a poor economy helps democrats in the election.
So, now it is post election, and what kind of reporting is done regarding the stock market? There are small boxes that show the declines on the front page with - "story continued in section D (the business section)."
So, even though the market is lower than before, it is now back section news???
Are they trying to put the genie back in the box?!? Unfortunately, it may be too late!
Is this media manipulation?
