    As I have stated many times on this forum it is not the news the MSM broadcast, nor the fake news they broadcast that make them useless to the public. It is the news they dont broadcast. Right now due to the fact that Trump was elected and his direction to reduce abusive regulations, and cut taxes, has driven the stock market to new highs.

    That means that the forgotten middle class that has their savings in some form based on the stock market has seen their portfolio jump up. These tens of million small investors have Trump to thank for their savings increase. As I say the MSM hasnt mentioned one peep about this good news, since it makes Trump look good.

    This is just another reason the radical left MSM,s approval rating is in the tank, and no one trust them.

    Even the left must smile through their frown when the look at their 401k since the Trump bounce. You're right though that the media is doing everything it can to ignore this great financial news.

    And that's just a small sampling of stories that mentioned Trump in connection with the stock market. It ignores the thousands of daily stories on the stock market, which report its movements without necessarily mentioning Trump.

    Do you guys enjoy being constantly, objectively wrong?

    WTF are you talking about? nothing in your post mentioned a thing about MSM hiding anythihng.>>>MOD EDIT Flamebait Removed<<<, while you watch Fox news that has on fake Swedish intelligence people on it that nobody in sweden ever heard of. Yeah, all the rest of the news is fake even though Fox proves it time and time again that they are

    Stock markets mean very little. Of course companies stocks will rise since trump is going to allow them to completely rape this country. Yeah, let coal companies pollute the water ways, of course they are going to like that, more profits. That's all they care about. The hell with their workers making livable wages, the hell with the environment, the hell with rules protecting them against defrauding and stealing from the public. Their stocks are up. Of course they will be, they only care about one thing, profit.

    Stocks are up, how does that translate into jobs and increase pay and benefits to employees? THe only people benefiting are the already rich. And they never trickle that down

    Impossible for financial sites and news divisions to ignore but you barely see it mentioned at all in the daily cable diatribes or nightly news.its glossed over in favor of whatever the Trump bash of the day is

    - - - Updated - - -

    Bet that made you spit your coffee out. :smile:

    There is a few reasons for it; 1) There is not money or ratings in it to make it worth their while to report on it; 2). The so-called investors can review the daily stock market reports to via various internet sources to find out how the stock market is doing, so most of them make up their minds whether or not to thank Trump and finally 3) Why would the public be interested in the MSM reporting on it in the first place since according to you (and others in here) that no one trusts them otherwise???

    you need to pay attention and catch up. The OPers post has already been shown to be wrong so your points are just ridiculous.

    It's news worthy for a couple of reasons. First is that the mantra from the left when Trump was running was that markets would crash if he was elected. Second is the market was completely stagnant the last couple of years of the Obama administration and this sudden and dramatic rise on wall Street is big news for people with a 401k. Third is you can bet your ass that if the market crashed as the left predicted it would be front and center news every day and the focus of the sunday talk shows.

    Ignore?

    50% of Americans have no money in stocks. So anything other than Up/Down totals is going to cause 50% of the audience to change channels or "swipe" in whatever direction means "get this crap outta here!"

    You know what else doesn't make the headlines?

    Price of highway asphalt.
    Number of alligators in Florida
    Box scores of little league games in Florence, KY.

    I'm relatively certain there are people to whom these things are important, just not enough to move them from the back to the front,

    The OP never claimed it wasn't reported on in financial news only that it's
    MIA in mainstream reporting which it most definitely is. It has been ignored as much as possible.

    Why don't you just go and interview for the MSM news director job. Wouldn't that solve your problem? Then no more "fake" news.

    Nice try. :roflol:

    Ps... Look at all previous posts. No rebuttal from the starter of this thread. Troll.

    The legacy media has a formula for reporting about the economy:

    When there's a Democrat president: We're still recovering from the previous administration.
    When there's a Republican president: Oh look the stock market's taking off this can't be good.

    Actually the big investment houses are warning their investors that the overall market does not justify current valuations based on expected revenues and profits and that an adjustment is coming sooner rather than later to the broader markets. They also point out that there are opportunities in individual stocks but that those windows are shrinking as well. Some are calling the current levels a "bubble" more are calling it "overbought."

    In any case nothing Trump has done so far, except perhaps rolling back the "fiduciary rule" would have any real lasting effect on the market. Policy impacts won't start for another 2-3 months.

    Policy impacts have already begun in that business and investors are heartened at the prospect of coming implementation.

    Most people have a 401k and the market doing great is great for them and that should be big news but it doesn't fit the mainstream news narrative of Trump, all bad all the time.

    I'm listening to them now and they just did 15 minutes on the Hollywood award show. I'll be interested to hear how many seconds they give to the market when the morning edition loop starts over.

    Not speculation, real impacts that work their way through the system.

    For example, the roll back of the Fiduciary Rule won't have any real impact until the first advisor gets caught pocketing a 20% commission on some lousy investments. He'll say "caveat emptor" and the people will look at Trump and say...

    Well, we all know what they'll say, don't we?

    As of 2015 some 68% of Americans 18-64 did not participate in any employer sponsored retirement plan.
    https://www.forbes.com/sites/lauras...g-in-an-employer-sponsored-plan/#3d6d0fbf2152

    Data show about half of Americans have no investment in stocks, whatsoever.
    http://money.cnn.com/2015/04/10/investing/investing-52-percent-americans-have-no-money-in-stocks/

    It may be that the Florence Little Reds winning 18-6 in a t-ball game last night is big news to those interested but that doesn't make it big news. The stock market has moved up recently. That movement is reported daily on all of the major media outlets. Analysis of that movement is reserved for the specialty outlets just like the Florence Little Reds news is reserved for the Florence Weekly Shopper.

    It's obvious Trump is business friendly instead of the anti corporations socialist president we just had and investors are reacting to that. As Trump policies take effect you will see the market surge again. I jumped back in immediately when Trump was elected and have made so much money so fast that it's almost hard to believe but I'm loving it!

    Well at least now you are admitting this isn't being covered by the media except in financial divisions.
