Black Mark-et

AITOOW has noticed that a thousand point drop in the Dow has resulted in next to no media hysteria or attention. In the last election period in which a similar pattern developed, all they talked about was the drop. And they pointed fingers and proselytized . Did they become inured/apathetic to the genre? Is there so much else going on in the world? Have the losses not been large enough? Have the results of the losses not been systemic enough? Or is it because it's part of a pattern of conduct in which they do all they can to save their like minded power players from discredit/blame?
