Why Friday?

Trump guaranteed that by commuting Stone's sentence on a Friday it will be the main discussion on the Weekend news shows. I know the old thinking used to be to dump bad news on a Friday night but I do not believe this still the case especially during "Corona time" as my daughter calls it. He is controlling the narrative as usual and cable news will follow along. I for one would prefer to discuss all the organizations that received money from the Corona Virus Bailout. Hopefully Biden or more likely the Lincoln project will have some ads to expose the massive waste and fraud.
My wife and I are Catholics and we are outraged that the churches received money. Next collection envelope will have a note saying you already got my money from the government treasury. But that will have to wait until i'm willing to set foot in the church again. Lets discuss who got what.

the time that news dumps are made that might negatively impact the markets. The market has the whole weekend, including Sunday talking heads shows to sort things out.
