Yesterday as markets fell:
CBC’s TSX Plunge-o-Meter makes its triumphant debut! (Read all about it!)
Today, as markets rose:
CBC’s Plunge-o-Meter takes its sad, sad departure!
(A “Rise-o-Meter”? Why that ain’t liberal!)
Yesterday as markets fell:
It was a “Market Meltdown!” A meltdown I tells ya!
Today, as market rose:
Well today it’s a, um, well by gum it’s a “Financial Market”!
As we know, and as I reported yesterday and over the past several years, they totally and absolutely forgot to make an issue out of the stock markets making huge, historic, record-breaking gains and highs over the recent past. No “Rise-o-Meter”, no no no.
Latent Note:
They later toyed with all manner of descriptions in their banners and graphics: “jittery market”, “markets rally”, and “see? Capitalism sucks!” (oh sorry that last one is just what they must have been thinking).
