WSJ and VICE rank dead last in Teen coolness factors

Vice...that far left propaganda drivel on HBO every night??
Makes MSNBC and CNN look like Breitbart

Worst
Show
Ever

I have only watched a few shows, but I liked it.

The ones I saw about North Korea and Cuba were interesting.
The guy who started it has a pretty good job. He just walks around with a video camera wearing raggedy clothes and asks the questions we would ask. And he makes big bucks doing it.

WSJ is about as legitimate of a source of news as buzzfeed is

It's sad to see how low WSJ has fallen.

WSJ isn't necessarily bad, as with most of the main big financial sites out there, it's just that this world of market reporting...can seem very highly subjective, and likewise...just bs noise and nonsense

That's partially the beauty, and difficulty, with the market...99% is just noise and bs...and only 1% truth. -- atleast in being able to trade it successfully, in the overall long run.

But I agree with the shift trend...Youtube and user-generated content is seen as much more pure and real and genuine -- as opposed to reading or learning how to trade on more of the traditional financial news sites.

or Any topic in general -- not just trading/financial.
Heck, start a Youtube channel talking about Lawnmowers while dressed like a Turtle...and you'll become a YouTube star.

Random bogus Reddit traders draw more eyeballs then something posted on something more official like MarketWatch.

I would say most of the Business News is 95% worthless. When they report earnings results and documented news events...fine. But when they offer recommendations and personal opinions you need to listen to what they have to say, do your own research and come to your own conclusion. The people that give recommendations on MadMoney, CNBC etc...they are just educated guesses or random thoughts off the top of their heads. They can't possibly do enough research to justify the 50 opinions and recommendations they give everyday. They just say things to occupy air time. How often is Dennis Gartman right? BTW, they always tell you to buy but never when to sell.

At least the people on Reddit actually trade. I wonder how many journalists don't actively trade, just invest in their 401K and call it a day?

I subscribe to MarketWatch's Twitter (owned by the WSJ). Three fourths of the stuff I get from them is Trump bashing. They have a left leaning liberal bias that gets under my skin. But every once in a while they might publish something worth reading. Most of the people that write those articles are in their 20's and fresh out of college. They know less than you and me. Keep that in mind when you read something from the mass media.

Martin Armstrong is among the best Economic Historians and Prognosticators out there and his blog is free. His observations and remarks are far more valuable than the talking heads on TV.
