It's like information overload , not to mention the reliability of these papers and magazines .

Which financial magazines and newspapers do you think do the best job of checking facts ?

Well , for example , The Wall Street Journal is very , very good . Even though it's used on occasion ( as all news organizations are ) by Ces or bankers who leak their mergers in advance in order to get a positive spin .

Where does a broadcast company get most of their information ? I hope it's not just from press releases .

A good broadcast company usually does far more than press releases.Their people go out and do real reporting , talking to people at the stock exchange , fund managers , analysts , etc .

But sometimes when a flimsy report , or even a rumor gets on television , there's going to be a terrible ' echo chamber ' effect .
