NewsCorpse, the most underrated media blog of our lifetime (note: “lifetime,” in web terminology, means approximately 2 to 3 years), has an amazing rundown of FoxNews stock market idolatry, and how they are claiming that the recent upticks in the market are thanks to the valiant teabaggers, just as they claimed that the 6-month slide that preceded it was thanks to that dastardly Obama.
A lesson in media history, courtesy of NewsCorpse:
For several weeks, Fox has used the phrase “Obama Bear” to describe the stock market when it heads down. At the same time they refer to it as a bear market rally when it goes up. So it should come as no surprise that on the April 18, broadcast of Fox’s “Bulls & Bears,” the host, Brenda Buckner, ups the ante by opening the show with this:
“Call it a tea party rally. Wall Street’s sure partying, up six weeks in a row. The bulls came out about the same time these guys started to shout, saying no to big government, big taxes, and big bailouts. Will that keep investors saying yes to stocks?”
In an absurd flight from logic, Buttner is asserting that the Fox-sponsored, Republican rallies last Wednesday played a role in the market’s performance for six weeks prior to their even being held.
