NYT's shameless cheerleading, again

From the front page of the NYT webiste:

The AP has it somewhat differently:

Stocks turn lower after weaker-than-expected GDP

Stocks turn lower after GDP grows slower-than-expected 3.2 pct, still seen as sign of recovery

I believe shameless cheerleading is in their job description. Read it today in the Times, see it tomorrow as a headline in Anywhereville, USA.
