Remember the screaming headlines from last Friday? "Big Drop in Dow!" What happened on Monday to those headlines when the market recovered and even exceeded what was lost on Friday? A pronounced example of how bad news is news and good news is much less newsworthy: On Friday night, ABC and NBC teased full stories on the 281 point plunge that day in the Dow Jones average, but on Monday, after the Dow rebounded by five points greater than Friday's loss in the biggest one- day gain in five years, the networks limited coverage to a few seconds.
