Here is a neat little case study on how the Associated Press provides cover for the Obama administration. First the headline: Initial jobless claims unexpectedly rise. Unexpected by who? Not those of us out in the workforce.
But the best is this sentence:
A surprising jump in first-time claims for unemployment benefits is a painful reminder that jobs remain scarce six months into the economic recovery
Could we see a show of hands for those who think we are in an economic recovery let alone have been in one for six months?
See, this is how they lie to create a perception: that we are in a recovery and it is the anointed one Barack Obama who has brought us to this point.
Rubbish: this economy is still weak and if anything in danger of heading down again with the least bit of headwind. If the AP would get out into the real world and show some interest in telling the truth, that would be the story they would have to report.
