Claudia, I know you write for the Journal EDITORIAL pages and I have no quarrel with them. However, as a financial guy with deep involvement in markets, I have to tell you that the Journal “News” pages have been questionable sources at best for a long time. They are never to be relied on for accuracy of the truth. Those pages, like the rest of the MSM, are staffed by agenda driven journalism majors who are more interested in “changing the system” than in accurate reporting. I liken the Journal to the movie industry rags, Variety and Hollywood Reporter, that “report” whatever it is that they decide is news and it’s up to the reader to fathom what it is that is really going on. I only use IBD for actual investment info as well as the naked reporting on Bloomberg. Does anyone take CNBC’s chattering laughing girls seriously? MSM journalism is lousy all over.
