So maybe we have this the wrong way around. Because there are two ways to look at this phenomenon. The first is how I’ve just described it—companies do better or worse than analyst predictions. But we could just as easily flip this around and ask—how are analysts doing? Especially since the market seems to put a pretty high premium on what they’re thinking. And these people generally get paid a lot, a whole lot. Maybe the question should be did the analyst get his or her call right, rather than did the company beat or miss the analysts’ predictions? Because if we look at earnings reporting in this light, it’s pretty clear that US analysts have been consistently underestimating how US companies actually perform. And in this regard, we have to ask whether or not US analysts even deserve that paycheck—because their miss rate seems pretty high. And if these guys show that they can’t get it right, why should they be paid a lot of money? And why should we (specifically, the financial press) listen to them?So maybe we have this the wrong way around. Because there are two ways to look at this... more

Sometime early morning yesterday, gamers on Twitter rumbled about Wedbush Morgan analyst Michael Pachter. I first seen Alexander from Joystiq send a tweet to Alex Navarro at Harmonix with "The console wars aren't over sales, they fight for Pachter's love." Very soon after, Jared Newman started with some and 8bitjoystick sealed the deal by creating the Twitter hash tag #PachterFACTS. I had to jump in, Binge Gamer's Perry Piekarski, and even Destructoid's Jim Sterling helped this snowball out of control. Now you can easily see search.twitter for these amusing little blips provided by gamers everywhere.
Here is my compiled list of favorites:
* Activision attempted to make 'Pachter Hero', but no console could run it and only one man is awesome enough to play it.
* Michael Pachter can play Rock Band downloadable content. On Guitar Hero.
* Michael Pachter can create Kodu within Little Big Planet.
* Michael Pachter has beat World of Warcraft
* Jack Black actually stars as Michael Pachter in Brütal Legend, which is fully biographical
* Michael Pachter caused the recession to make more people buy games.
* No matter what word Michael Pachter writes in Scribblenauts, it turns to gold
* Michael Pachter can predict the past.
* Michael Pachter doesn't make predictions, he dictates to the industry what they are going to do.
* Michael Pachter does simply walk into Mordor.
* Michael Pachter wrote The Glory of Love under the pen name of Peter Cetera.
* Michael Pachter feeds off the tears and crushed dreams of failed game developers.
* Michael Pachter makes Lair a playable game.
* Pachter once sued Capcom for copyright infringement of his birth name: Mega Man.Sometime early morning yesterday, gamers on Twitter rumbled about Wedbush Morgan... more

Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting's founder Jeff Cohen knows about bias in news sourcing firsthand. He weighs in on the latest revelations by the New York Times about the Pentagon's program to groom retired military as analysts for the networks in the selling of the invasion of Iraq.
"Except for the brazenness and scope of the Pentagon spin program, I wasn’t shocked by the recent New York Times report exposing how the Pentagon junketed and coached the retired military brass into being “message-force multipliers” and “surrogates” for Donald Rumsfeld’s lethal propaganda.
The biggest villain here is not Rumsfeld or the Pentagon. It’s the TV networks. In the land of the First Amendment, it was their choice to shut down debate and journalism.
No government agency forced MSNBC to repeatedly feature the hawkish generals unopposed. Or fire Phil Donahue. Or smear weapons expert Scott Ritter. Or blacklist former attorney general Ramsey Clark. It was top NBC/MSNBC execs, not the Feds, who imposed a quota system on the Donahue staff requiring two pro-war guests if we booked one anti-war advocate — affirmative action for hawks.
I’m all for a Congressional investigation into the Pentagon’s Iraq propaganda operation — which included an active-duty general exhorting ex-military-turned-paid-pundits that “the strategic target remains our population.”
But I’m also for keeping the focus and onus on CNN, FOX, NBC, ABC, CBS, even NPR — who were partners in the Pentagon’s mission of “information dominance.” And for us to see that American TV news remains so corrupt today that it has hardly mentioned the Times story on the Pentagon’s pundits, which was based on 8,000 pages of internal Pentagon documents acquired by a successful Times lawsuit."
It should be noted that PBS has broken the network blackout on the story on it's daily show Newshour with Jim Lehrer.Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting's founder Jeff Cohen knows about bias in news... more
