Poll of barfyness.
www.cnn.com

Do you think the U.S. job market is improving?
No!

Yes 47%
No 53%

Awful story on front page saying there's new jobs everywhere yay we are all so happy. Not mentioning that all the new jobs Bush created were in the government. So much for us "big government democrats" :eyes:


and more-

www.cnn.com/360

Do you think American television should have shown the unedited video of yesterday's attack in Iraq?
Yes!

Yes 57%
No 43%

1. WTF? "US job growth soars" how about "but unemployment rises"
Edited on Fri Apr-02-04 11:18 AM by tandot
Since when is Scott McLellan working at CNN? Did Fox News buy CNN?

I am so f*ing mad.

They are manipulating the news by putting the most positive headline up but disregarding the negative.


On edit: I just emailed CNN:
I find the headline "US Job growth soars" very misleading. What happened to the rise in unemployment? Recently I've noticed that CNN is highlighting mostly the positive while negative news are barely mentioned. Some stories critical of the Bush administration seem to be completely ignored. Is CNN now following White House policy?

3. Not to mention
They don't take into account the new number of people that have entered the job force. I'm sure that number far exceeds the number of jobs that were created regardless if they were in gov't or not. the net number of jobs out there is less. But i guess CNN sees it as less less than last month...

:shrug:

2. They hear what they want...
...(us) to hear and disregard the rest. Don't you remember? We aren't smart enough to hear all the news.

As for big governmemnt- Doonesbury has a good series going right now. Down the rabbit hole.
