Causing the stock market do nosedive due to partisan faulty reporting is worth more than 4 weeks suspended. What ABC did was give the guy an extended holiday vacation: Chanukah, Christmas, New Year's.

I think it's more serious than Matt Lauer pinching Katie Couric's butt.

The snowflakies got their hopes up for the weekend.

They are still pounding this garbage down their throats this fine weekend.

Poor snowflakies. They don't have much.

The Fake News industry needs to pay for their lives, it's costing us money. The MSM is the greatest threat to this nation since the end of Soviet Communism.

The 'press' today is NOT the 'press' of the past, and imo, should not have the same rights. todays 'press' is nothing but a tool used to promote and discredit various agenda., they also work hand in hand with Govt to condition and brainwash as many people as they can.

The change happened when the 'press' was all owned by 6 private corporations, in other words, they literally control what is news and what is not.

If Trump has had "no effect" on the stock market and the economy has been riding on Obama's coat tails, then how come it nosedived when we thought Trump was in trouble?

Huh?..... Huh?.... Huh?

As he said in a press conference during the campaign- 'I've always had a very big.....microphone'
Having a loud mouth and a horrible ego does not make one a leader.

And before becoming president, Trump was a sub-par businessman who lost money and businesses regularly, destroyed most everything he touched, and was the butt of every joke involving pampered, worthless, spoiled rich brats who never earned a dime in their life.

It is only because he ran as a Republican that we now have millions of partisan suckers supporting this brain-dead clod who, 2 years ago, they wouldn't have entrusted with their retirement fund, house for a weekend, or daughter for one night.

Trump is a loud-mouthed stooge. If we can sue people for lowering the market, can we sue him when his disastrous policies topple the economy?

Because the market hates uncertainty. Trump is worthless. He hasn't done a single thing of any value for any working class Americans in this nation, save for the ones who get their kicks out of spewing bigotry and who no doubt enjoy his half-arse travel ban and his obvious support of white supremacists in places like Charlottesville.

The economy is still riding on the coat-tails of the Obama recovery - although, to be honest, even Obama didn't work any miracles there. The only reason it dips when Trump is in trouble or proposes some mind-boggling stupid idea is because the market hates uncertainty, not because the market needs Trump to succeed somehow.

If Trump literally did nothing the rest of his time in office - and found a way to avoid being impeached or otherwise legally dealt with for obstruction of justice, etc. - the market would have a much better day simple because uncertainty over that lunatic's actions and if he will still be the president or not will be removed.

Don't confuse fear of the unknown with fear of a specific person failing. Trump is worthless, and the only reason the market HAS continued to do so well is because Trump has failed to implement most of his idiotic ideas thus far, with the unfortunate "low introductory rates" pay-day loan style tax scam being the near-term exception.

Oh boy. Does that mean I can go after the Houston media for telling me what a great person Ken Lay was? And what a great hometown company Enron was. I could use my gone 25K right now.

TV hype? Fake news?

You guys would tell me I was stupid for believing it. Nobody forced me to buy Enron.
