I was flipping channels and stopped briefly, and the "analysts" were chirping on about how things are looking great, despite rising unemployment, crappy retail sales, today's plunging stock markets, wage insecurity, unstable financial institutions, housing mess etc etc.
And they sit there and say that shit with straight faces......But I suppose that if my livelihood depended on creating the facade of a healthy economy, I'd go on TV and lie my ass off too.

repeated the Secretary of the Treasury's remarks that there were no speculation in oil prices, that prices were all supply and demand, shamelessly as fact. Many are shameless shills, Crudlow at the top of the list, others seemingly try to be somewhat apolitical. :P
