CNN is doing its job for Bush (Economy)

[Cush]

Just spinning away without looking at the real numbers. I assume the other Cable Networks are doing the same? No mention of the layoff notices, etc

It should be intetersting to how how ABC/CBS/NBC cover it tonight.

Yes, if these numbers are real it is good news, and people will buy the spin that's it all because of Bush

1. The graphic was galling

In the news before "Inside Politics," they kept running this graphic that was titled "JOBS IN AMERICA," with a big-ass U.S. flag in the background.

Karl Rove couldn't buy that kind of coverage. Then again, maybe he did.

Absolutely disgusting and beneath contempt.

2. Geez

They had a Bushie on, and no Dem to counter? Why am I not surprised?

[Cush]

3. Now Novak is Dem bashing

5. Several times today, their anchors have said:

"The jobless recovery seems to be a non-issue now, eh?"

I've heard various plays on that from at least two anchors, Judy Woodruff and that guy who anchors "Live From..."

11. I saw that trend often this past week.

The media is doing their best for Bush, as usual.

6. Why do you think * is raising $200M for election in 2004...

that money will be used to advertise on CNNNBCABC. It's a bribe!!!

(Notice I didn't say re-election, since * was appointed in 2000.)

[Cush]

7. Ron Brownstein (LA TImes) is on

If this trend continues, it will help Bush. Cites polls that people are more optimistic about the economy, Bush is getting better numbers on the Economy.

If the trend continues into the spring, Bush will get a boost

8. Notice this positive news...

...comes on the heels of their "positive news from Iraq" attempt falling flat on its face. He needed his numbers to improve somewhere, viola...

9. yes, it is very convenient isn't it. but it will have to last

through the summer.

[blm]

10. Expect this crap for the next year. This IS Bush's campaign and

he has the media pushing his campaign memes.
