<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1559808, member: 26302&quot;]Some may agree, some may disagree with the following article:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.thestreet.com/story/11744090/1/the-road-to-bullion-default-part-i.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.thestreet.com/story/11744090/1/the-road-to-bullion-default-part-i.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.thestreet.com/story/11744090/1/the-road-to-bullion-default-part-i.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>That is not the point. Let me list the terms in this article that I would say were inflammatory:</p><p><br /></p><p>momentous</p><p>unlimited money printing</p><p>exponential</p><p>bankrupt</p><p>infinite money printing</p><p>death knell</p><p>final warning</p><p>hyperinflation</p><p>inevitable</p><p>clueless masses</p><p>tulipmania</p><p>ignominious</p><p>insanity</p><p>explosion</p><p>plunge</p><p>desparate</p><p>unlimited money printing</p><p>spiral</p><p>utter worthlessness</p><p>manipulation</p><p>banker manipulation</p><p>derivatives casino</p><p>when will a default occur?</p><p>concerted manipulation</p><p>destruction of inventories</p><p>conclusive evidence of manipulation</p><p>magnitude of destruction</p><p>no other possible conclusion</p><p>inventories plummeted</p><p>plunged</p><p><br /></p><p>This is just the first 2 pages of 4 pages of a 2 part article. My hand got tired.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, I am not even debating the validity of the article, but read these types of words and ask yourself if you believe these types of words really belong in a reasoned piece of journalism, or a sensationalistic piece of garbage written ONLY to scare you, (probably into sending the guy money). </p><p><br /></p><p>To me, these are the types of phrases I look for in either side of the discussion. Once an author has to resort to such scare tactic phrases, I know the type of &quot;author&quot; he is. Look at the words yourself, and try it. No, please do not try to justify a few of the phrases of the article to me, yes there can be cases made for a few of these in isolation. Its when an article is utterly built around scare tactics like this is when I am saying it crosses over from any form of journalism into a self serving diatribe in my mind, (written from any perspective).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
