7/7 Brit Hume's first thought on hearing of London attacks? Time to buy!
http://mediamatters.org/items/200507070007
\_ Talk about deceptive titles. Can we just drop http://mm.org? His whole
quote (bold in the http://mm.org article):
"I mean, my first thought when I heard -- just on a personal basis,
when I heard there had been this attack AND I SAW THE FUTURES THIS
MORNING, which were really in the tank, I thought, 'Hmmm, time to
buy.'"
\_ How does that make it better?
\_ Because his thought resulted from seeing the futures numbers,
not simply by hearing about the attack. And he's right on.
\_ So you don't find it at all tactless?
\_ Are you kidding? He was asked a question about the
futures. He saw the futures dip. He answered the
question. It's not tactless. What I find appalling is
http://MM.org's deceptive title.
\_ Wow, you sure twisted yourself in knots to excuse
the heartless bastard. Way to go!
\_ Well, you're an idiot. Just because he saw the
futures numbers and didn't ignore them doesn't
make him heartless. Where did the quote indicate
that he didn't have sympathy for the injured or
killed? How is this heartless? |
| mediamatters.org/items/200507070007 Smith had asked Hume to comment on the la ck of a negative US stock market reaction to the London attacks. From Fox News' July 7 breaking news coverage between 1 and 2 pm ET: SMITH: Some of the things you might expect to happen, for instance, a dr op in the stock market and some degree of uncertainty across this count ry -- none of that really seen today, and I wonder if the timing of it -- that it happened in the middle of the night and we were able to get a sense of the grander scheme of things -- wasn't helpful in all this. The other thing is, of course, people have -- you kno w, the market was down. It was down yesterday, and you know, you may ha ve had some bargain-hunting going on. I mean, my first thought when I h eard -- just on a personal basis, when I heard there had been this atta ck and I saw the futures this morning, which were really in the tank, I thought, "Hmmm, time to buy." But obviously, if the markets had b ehaved badly, that would obviously add to people's sense of alarm about it. But there has been a lot of reassurance coming, particularly in th e way that -- partly in the way the Brits handled all this, but also in the way that officials here handled it. There seems to be no great fea r that something like that is going to happen here, although there's no indication that we here had any advance warning. |
