The point remains that the WSJ was unique in providing rock solid objective financial journalism, and now it is sliding down to the same level as "every other news institution".
But that's only true if the facts aren't true. If the Dow did really fall because people are worried by the new regulations than the title isn't sensationalist it's just factual reporting. So the question is this: Was it impossible to find out the motivation of investors? I don't think it is (especially when you have big time investors like Warren Buffett coming out against it)
