Did Microsoft Beat Or Miss Expectations?
from the creative-headlining dept
Well, here's a perfect example of how you news reports can be incredibly misleading with their headlines. If I happened to catch the headline from Smart Money about Microsoft's earnings announcements today, I would find out that "Microsoft's Sales Come in Better Than Expected". Sounds good, right? However, over at CBS Marketwatch, I'm told "Microsoft misses earnings expectation". Wait a second... Of course, if you look at the details, they're both right. The sales were better than expected, but the earnings were at the low end of expectations. However, the impression that each headline gives off is very different.
