"Small Gains for Big Media Stocks!" How can this be?

[KoKo]

TWX, VIA-B, DIS, DIS, GE
The above are symbols of our "MSM Whores." The folks who 24/7 pump Bush and who trashed Bill Clinton, Al Gore and John Kerry..

None of them are doing well...just check out CNN's (Time-Warner) chart for the last five years... And, if GE is a War Profiteer you wouldn't know it considering how their stock has languished since Bush became the Emperor.

How can this be explained? Why are they "whoring for Bush" yet their own companies are not doing well under his regime? :shrug: All the Deregulation doesn't appear to be helping them, either.

CHICAGO (CBS.MW) -- Most shares of major media companies trended flat Friday in one of the slowest trading sessions of the year.

Walt Disney Co. (DIS: news, chart, profile) was down 8 cents to $27.80 as the broadcast and entertainment giant gets ready to kick off 2005 with a new ad campaign to celebrate the 50th anniversary of its Disneyland theme park in Southern California.

Meanwhile, Time Warner (TWX: news, chart, profile) added 4 cents to $19.45 and News Corp. (NWS.A: news, chart, profile) (NWS: news, chart, profile) picked up 6 cents at $19.20. Viacom (VIA.B: news, chart, profile) (VIA: news, chart, profile), a significant shareholder in the publisher of this report, gave up 15 cents to $37.08.

Publishers fared less well, with shares mainly edging into the red. Dow Jones (DJ: news, chart, profile) lost 21 cents to $43.06, while Knight-Ridder (KRI: news, chart, profile) dropped 15 cents to $66.94 and Tribune Co. (TRB: news, chart, profile) slipped 4 cents to $42.14.

1. I'm sure they are all starting to realize....

that intelligent people no longer believe what they have to say. If their profits go down enough, they might start thinking about telling us the truth. UGHH! who'm I kidding..there are enough sheep out there to keep them going for a while yet...:shrug:

2. Look at GE's Five year chart under the Chimp....amazing....

3. A shareholder lawsuit is in order.

How many people have stopped watching the MSM altogether because of the biased coverage? That's negatively impacting shareholder value. If we're not watching shows and ads, the advertisers aren't making money, either, and may drop sponsorships.

Why won't a public interest attorney file a shareholder lawsuit against the MSM companies? I've posted this suggestion numerous times and so far, no one has responded, but this clearly establishes grounds.
