NOW we get blow-by-blow reports on the economy and market?
Since exactly January 20, 2009 the media has been on full alert...reporting job losses BY THE HOUR; using CONTEXT to tell us that the losses are the worst since---hmmm----1949 and so on.

They accuse Obama of being too negative and that being the reason for the decline but they are negative a thousand times more--especially more negative than when you-know-who was in office.

I don't think it's just Rush that wants PRESIDENT OBAMA (I take so much joy in typing those words) to fail.

1. If those presstitutes reported fires the way they report on the economy ...

... then fire departments and fire fighters all over the country would be blamed for most of the scorched earth and destruction ... and arsonists would be vacationing or appearing on talk shows.

2. You should watch CNBC all day
You would "shit twice then die" (to Quote Molly Ringwald on Sixteen Candles).
They, in large, are straight out saying that Obama is to blame for the crisis.
They need to report news only. Save the comments for the prime time shows.

3. Well the media can only report what the administration will give them.
Obama is obviously holding up his deal of being more transparent, letting the American people know what is happening. I think that the right wing media attacks Obamas administration because they are scarred people are realizing that the republican way is the wrong way.
