That seems to be the attitude — if a computer can have an attitude — of the program that filters headlines on Google’s (GOOG) financial news feed.

The list at right (expanded below) was generated by doing a Google Finance  search for “Apple” at 8 a.m. Monday morning. You have to scroll down 24 headlines to get to a positive one (“Apple Inc. sales of $54 billion and profit of $13 billion both break records”) which turns out to be Apple’s own press release.

Given that many high-frequency trading algorithms are programmed to react to such headlines — generated by the likes of Insider Monkey and ValueWalk, but not, curiously, Fortune.com — these things matter.
