Amusingly Biased Headline of the Day

Todays award goes to CNN for this gem of a headline and a sub-headline:

Stocks fall despite rescue

Dow ends at 3-month lows, with Wall Street sliding even as President Obama signed into law the $787 billion economic stimulus plan.
Based on what I read today and heard from about five Wall Street brokers, the headline should read "Stocks fall because of 'rescue".

The only good thing that can come from this mess is that the media will start propping up the economy and the constant drumbeat of continuous bad news is probably about half of the problem right about now.

    the dow will continue to drop, when it eventually stabilizes the media will tell us it was Obama who saved us all.
