'Newsday' & 'The Post': Rationalizing vs. Irrational Exuberance
This world is so confusing. We look to the "news" "media" to "clear it up" for "us," but sometimes competing outlets have what is known as "different spins." It's almost impossible to know whom to trust in a world of Points and Counterpoints.

Newsday April-Sept. '04 audit indicates slight drop in sales
Or The New York Post's screeching schadenfreude version:

Luckily, we don't give a fuck.
