"What'd You Miss?" Puppets Transform Sophisticated Bloomberg Terminal Into Childish Etch A Sketch


FishbowlNY: “On some days, the people said, he [Bloomberg] seems bullish about the media company,” reported the Times. “On others, he seems to see it as a threat to the terminal business, to be managed accordingly.”

“He asked one presenter for more on-air arm movement. He asked another to gesticulate with a pen. And he has personally overseen the graphics shown on screen, which now resemble those seen on the terminal.”

Let's get this straight - Bloomberg sees his media operation as a threat to his bread and butter financial data cash cow so in order to protect his enormous terminal profits he instructs his on-air puppets to transform the device into a childish Etch A Sketch.

Does that make any sense to anyone?
