Unfortunately this is the kind of reporting I've come to expect from everyone. I can't necessarily blame them - their job is getting more views than the other guy and "Dow Has Bad Day" doesn't attract as many viewers as "DOW HAS WORST DAY EVER". At the end of the day it wasn't a lie, it was just going with the more interesting stat without regard for whether or not it was the most informative for readers. I wish it wasn't so, but we can't expect better without changing the incentives.
