Liberal media on stock market breaking records—“couldn’t this be bad, then?”

Joining me on my recent theme (it’s a “crusade”!) highlighting the liberal media’s obvious disgust and negativity with the now years old booming (and yet ignored or spun negatively) economy and historic record breaking stock market highs (ignored or spun negatively), the excellent NewsBusters.org blog picks up on it too. 

Helpful hint:  Have a look (below) at Diane Sawyer’s happy happy face in light of the record-breaking DOW! 

GMA Speculates on Soaring Stocks: ‘Is Unstoppable Market Good or Bad?’

Posted by Scott Whitlock on April 23, 2007 – 12:13.

On Monday’s “Good Morning America,” an ABC graphic about soaring stock prices proved, yet again, that there’s no positive economic story the media can’t spin downward:

ABC Graphic: “Will Dow Hit 13,000 Today?
Is Unstoppable Market Good or Bad?”

The graphic ran underneath co-host Diane Sawyer and GMA financial contributor Mellody Hobson’s discussion over whether or not the Dow, which has been breaking records recently, is headed for a downturn.

Sawyer certainly seemed to think so. She began the program with this pessimistic tease:

Diane Sawyer: “This morning, your stocks are soaring higher than ever before in history. A new record today? But is this the thrill before the meltdown? What should you do this morning to protect your money?”

In the segment, which aired at 7:02am on April 23, Sawyer and Hobson continued to predict that the good times will soon be ending. In fact, the GMA co-host closed the report by instructing Americans to not “get greedy. It can’t last forever.”

See my blog entry just this morning on CTV’s mind, um, game in which interest rates not being hiked, and yet they are presented as being hiked anyway.
