I’m not so derivative nor so deluded as to carry the “blame the media” torch. Nowhere do I even implicate the media, except insofar as I call out investors’ *reactions* to media reports. If this article is an indictment at all, it’s one against “the people” and not “the man.”

Markets ALWAYS react to the current news of the day. For decades unemplyment reports have affected the stock market, just to name one example. This is a lame attempt by mande to blame financial reporting for the economic meltdown and to diffuse the criticism she deserves for her previous articles touting our "strong" economy. For idealogical hacks like mande, shooting the messenger is their way of avoiding how wrong they were about the country's economic situation.

Aha--I get it now: There's no cause and effect; there's only news, which effects a response! YAY LOGIC! “In fact, there is no cause-and-effect at all, there’s only news and nearly simultaneous shotgun trades in response to that news.”

Huh? This post reads like it was authored by someone from another planet. Have you never observed financial markets or news prior to the past year? Bizarre. “[T]rading that is, for the first time ever, contemporaneous with the news.”
