CNN mentioned the Jobs Reports at the top of the hour, but it's not even their top story. Same with MSNBC and FOX.

I had avoided the news thiking it was going to be a Bush lovefest. Very interesting....

3. Um, Candy Just Gushed Over The Jobs Report and Gleefully Added
that this sinks Kerry's newest ads attacking job losses under bush.

Then she announced that some economic somebody from Bush Administration will be on after break to talk about the GLORIOUS news.

7. how nice of her to editorialize on the go
wonder if they use a 360 degree job appraisal format, and if she includes KKKarl Rove as one of her job evaluators?
