CNN pissed me off today at the end of their coverage of the convention

[davidpdx]

I didn't see much of the actual speeches because it was early morning here, but I caught the tail end of the coverage. They had two people on (I have no idea who they were) saying that Obama's claim about jobs was false. I believe what they were saying (now this was like 10 hours ago so my memory may be fuzzy) is that in terms of private sector jobs more have still be lost than have been gained. Maybe someone else who saw this could verify that is what they said.

I'm not saying it's true, I just want people to be aware of what CNN was saying.

1. Didn't watch CNN an never will as long as they give airtime to Ari Fleischer & David Gergen.

I like Anderson Cooper, but he doesn't make up for Bohemian Grove Gergen and Ari (People have to watch what they say) Fleischer.

2. Unfortunately overseas I only have CNN

Really none of the networks are that great.

3. Based on the story from CNN's webpage, they only want to count "net" jobs

vs total created since Bush left office.

Meaning, the millions upon millions upon millions of jobs created under the Obama administration just to get back to where we were when the rethugs tanked the economy, don't "count".

Think about that for a minute. Millions and millions of jobs that returned "don't count".

And they only want to start tallying once it reached parity again.

It's these sorts of things that need Jon Stewart or Steve Colbert treatment just based on the ludicrousness.

4. Technically this is still true

If you want to count the total number of jobs lost from day 1 of Obama's Presidency, he is still down 316K jobs. However if you look from (I think it was 11 months after he took office) when his policies went into effect, he has created 4 million jobs, far more than Bush created in 8 years. CNN is being intellectually dishonest to blame Obama for job losses that had to do with policies he did not put into place. Those were Republican policies that lost those jobs. But they are being fair and balanced right?

6. I saw that and got pissed too.

Last week they were fawning over Ann Romney and this morning when I woke up, that's the first thing I saw, this bs about the jobs claim.

*smh*
