How Interesting That The 8.1% UI Rate Was Pounded On For Months And ----

[TheMastersNemesis]

The 7.8% rate only last a couple of days in the news. And it is also more than coincidence that the media made such a weak counter to the "phony" numbers scam.

The MSM is even more against the US than we realized. Look at how they propping up Romney. We really have to take the media back and silence the hate radio that is destroying the country.

1. Yep, the media is just another wing of the GOP.

4. I don't know if they're another wing of the GOP

or they just want to cash in by making the race closer than it would have been without their involvement. I tend to think their more driven by profit than ideology. (Of course, republican do want to lower their taxes, so who knows?)

2. People are addicted to right wing messaging.

Anger is addictive and talk radio is all about about pissing you off, you're angered if you agree with the host and even more angered if you disagree.

It's a deliberate tactic that serves more than one purpose, the first purpose is to keep people listening and the second purpose is to push the right wing agenda.

3. The Media Has Actually Become A Threat To National Security & Democracy

5. good news for democrats doesn't play into the media's agenda to elect mr romney...period

6. Until the media is pried out of the hands of the 1%'s

we have no chance of real change. Simple as that

8. I'd guess Obama doesn't want the publicity now

It very likely has a component that is a statistical fluke. It could be bad if they make a big deal of it now, then it goes up to 7.9 this month and really bad if it goes back to 8. If they leave it alone now and it's 7.9 (or lower) right before the election, Obama can really use that.
