Is CNN posting the DOW higher than it is right now?
CNN has it down about 8, but Yahoo has it more than 46 points down.

1. CNN may have a live feed
My homepage says 46.57 down, but that info is 15 minutes old.

30. No. That's never been the way CNN "reported" what's happening
in the markets.

10. Now CNN is such a * shill that it posts fraudulent DOW numbers
to make "bush*s economy" look better. This is worse than despicable. CNN is one and the same with the con artists squatters in Al Gore's house.
:mad:

12. CNN website has it right, but of course the t.v. gets much more action.
Brainwashing of the lemmings continues unabated at CNN.

21. CNN has the Dow numbers from 3:30 P.M.
They should really update those numbers since 90 minutes have past.

23. I think it's a live feed that stops when the markets close.
Somebody at CNN and apparently FAUX deliberately changed the numbers. HEIL bUSH*!!

22. Well, that is the damndest thing...
Now US cable networks are showing fraudulent DOW numbers.

We've made the transition from spin to lies. This is no better than Soviet Pravda.

24. Sometimes, people make mistakes
Sometime, the feed stops, or doesn't refresh, it happens, believe it or not. It isn't a plot to subvert capitalism.

If we cry wolf about things like this, people will roll their eyes when we tell of the real affronts of the administration.

I would probably venture a guess that they are counting the indexes on Diebold machines.....

They obviously know about the problem if they corrected the website!

29. I don't think this is a conspiracy "theory".
The only bragging right * has left is the improved stock market. Now that its tanking again, his corporate pimps are getting worried. Looks to me like they're desperately trying to keep the facts away from the public. Business as usual. :puke:

31. yep
For the last 40 minutes they were saying that it closed down -8.
The tv networks were saying the same thing.

So in other words, when people were checking in to see how the markets closed for the week, they saw -8.

After they tune out and went to their weekend, they will change it to the real number, -46.

Seems simple enough, and then you blame it on a slow update.

34. Yes, This buys the Pukes a little p.r. breathing time.
They're hoping * can pull that proverbial rabbit out of his non-existent hat before he loses the hearts and minds of Americans.
