Market bull: Right-wing media dress up political attacks as stock analysis

[SecularMotion]

Conservative media have long made a habit of bogus stock market analysis that furthers the right-wing agenda rather than shedding light on the business world, crediting right-wing figures and causes for gains, and blaming progressives for market declines, even in the face of evidence to the contrary.

Market increases? Conservatives did it; Market drop? Blame Obama and Dems

Right-wing media figures have repeatedly attributed stock market gains to Republicans or to news that is favorable to conservative causes. Conversely, stock market decreases have been pinned on President Obama, Democrats, and progressive causes. Media conservatives frequently offer these analyses in the face of contradictory evidence.

2. They forget bush's record. Conveniently.

They forget 1000 point swings in one day.
They forget the DJIA was 2000 points lower when he left.
