10. The Trib's Headline Wasn't Much Better
A little fewer trumpets to go with the "news" but kind of appalling nonethless.

When one read the article, it did go into decent detail over the facts and how many economists do not expect it to continue (they're right).

But, the headline effectively announced the end of bad economic times. Foolishness.

11. At least the Trib had this on the front page too...
WASHINGTON -- The economy's surprising growth spurt brought smiles to the faces of Republicans throughout the capital, but their joy could be short-lived if it is not followed by an employment increase that makes Americans feel secure in their jobs as the election approaches.

Although Republicans are likely to say that Bush's tax cuts helped the economy grow, analysts said other factors, such as lower interest rates and higher production efficiency, were major contributors.

In order for Bush to eliminate the economy as an issue that could be used against him in 2004, employment will have to pick up sharply, and the jobless rate, now at 6.1 percent, will have to decline. But creating jobs is not as simple and as automatic as it once was in America, and that is a major challenge for the president.

(The article overall is "fair and balanced", but there is much negativity quoted. Also, good news for those that only scan the headlines.)

8. I've noticed a remarkable change in the tone of
editorial cartoons in our local papers. Much more anti-Bush than ever before.
This one is great.
