Since the economy was the number one issue in the election, when will the American electorate and the media begin complaining about the Obama plunge in the stock market? I asked a similar question before the election. During the Bush years, even good economic news was reported negatively. I remember one really good report came out and I wondered how the press could possibly spin it negatively, but they did by adding something like “experts warn it won’t last” to the headline. I expect the opposite now. No matter how bad economic news may become, the media will find a ray of sunshine somewhere in it to report. At least one news service though, the AP) is reporting the relationship of the stock plunge to the election of Obama. They must be light headed from the election results and just temporarily forgot that all bad new is Bush’s fault.
