47. Because the Republican didn't win

Wed Jun 13, 2012, 08:10 PM

Jun 2012

Every day we run a story about Wall Street on our business page, and when the market is down the head the AP gives us is always something like "Stock market falls 352."

Last week, we ran a story headed "Market has positive day." You had to read the story to find out it was the biggest gain of the year.

And that's what Republicans do: any news that will impact the president or the Democratic Party negatively, or has the opportunity to do so, is trumpeted off the highest hill they can find. Any good news for Democrats is downplayed.
