Maybe I am being too harsh, but they just can not report good economic news during a Republican administration without putting their biased "buts" in.

It is for sure the AP is not going to be able to put this genie back in the bottle.

But then - “Who are you gonna believe, me, or your lying eyes!”

The Dow Average is not the best market measure. It is not weighted for market capitalization and it has only 30 stocks. And those 30 stocks are manipulated by constantly changing them. It was not that long ago the Dow had Bethlehem Steel and Woolworth as components. There are now NO steel companies in the Dow and maybe there shouldn’t be, but what a 13k Dow means is hard to say. S&P 500 has 500 companies and they are changed not so much for manipulation purposes but to reflect which the companies which are most valuable as measured by market cap. When the S&P hits an historic high, then market professionals will be impressed.

The extent to which the Associated Press — by which I mean virtually every single person who works there in a news-gathering, reporting, or editorial position — serves as a willfully dishonest propaganda organ for the liberal agenda is becoming one of the biggest dangers we face as a nation.

With very few exceptions, every newspaper in the country relies on the AP for its national and international coverage. Which means that the vast majority of Americans are dependent on these partisan liars for almost everything they know about national and international events.

How can a self-governing people make sensible decisions when the major source of 'news' in the country is composed of one-sided political partisans who don't just slant the news, but who regularly stoop to lying and outright fabrication in pursuit of their propaganda objectives?

Although the Dow hit new highs today, some say women and children are eating out of dumpsters, while others report that old people are choosing between medicine and Purina dog chow, and New Orleans needs more school buses to evacuate crippled veterans and grandmothers before the worst hurricane season in history devastates the city tomorrow.

If the unemployment rate went to 0.0001 percent, the NY TIMES headline would read:

THOUSANDS THROWN OUT OF WORK AS BUSH POLICIES LEAD TO CLOSURE OF UNEMPLOYMENT OFFICES

The chattering classes have been trying to talk down the economy ever since Bush was elected, but there’s only so much they can do. The productive classes continue to grow the economy, in spite of their best efforts.

It took two writers to write this tripe, and they wonder why so many reporters are being laid off.

But appearances can be deceiving, and there may be more reason to worry rather than rejoice about Wall Street's latest accomplishment.

I don't understand why the MSM still can maintain profitability when they are so predictable with their perpetual drone of doom and gloom.

Are we all that stupid as a whole?

The MSM could find a full glass of water in a waterless desert while dieing of thirst and toss the water away because the glass is too heavy to carry when full.

This is the ONE thing in the Universe that is NOT “Bush’s Fault”. LOL
