It is really sad how the media is giving free republican talking points to the dismal unemployment

report. Even Bloomberg is joining in, just providing the republican talking points, with very little Democratic rebuttal

The whole thing is disgusting, ignoring the fact that the republicans have intentionally been trying to destroy the economy and blocking everything from the start of 2008

I am also disappointed in the typically weak response from Democrats

And that will include lots of the democratic tv pundits. You don't need 24/7 TV pundits if Obama gets too far ahead.

So expect the media to constantly talk up GOP talking points to keep it close.

that was just released?

Personally I think it is a valid news item, and I don't see what can be gained by hiding from it or trying to hide it.

Are expressing, and the free reign the so-called media is giving them

Them being the repukes

The media is a co-conspiritor in this bullshit

They were pushing the repuke economics that led us to where we are today

They pushed us into Iraq based on a lie, and allow easy access to anyone who says Obama is not an American

If they reported the news that would be something, except they push their agenda without giving equal time to both sides

The country is getting exactly what it deserves, the repuke economic disaster that they have been voting for since Reagan, and the blue dogs happily were part of it
