Suddenly media reporting economy whoes !
Edited on Thu Dec-23-04 10:24 AM by NicRic
Its unbelieveable how before the election the news media seemed to never speak ill of our economy ,instead they would tell of indications of a improving economy. Now it seems all I hear is how bad things are and how they are only going to get worst. These facts would have had a impact on the election ,if our media did not hold back when discussing the economy. Now we have to hear about a $25,000 brith tax on every child being born , in other words as soon as the appear ,they are already in debt. Nice way to start life, good thing they are to young to understand ,they might try and crawl back in ! Yes its the holidays and we all should be thankful for what we have. I could have done without hearing about a possible 2 trillion $ debt coming our way under the idiot in office. Besides the obvious villians responsible for this economy ,I also hold the media responsible for not reporting the truth about the terrible and irresposible economic policy of this white house,the cost of this un-nessasary war, B/4 the 2004 election. To make this situation even worst ,our young men and women are dying for a lie, and yet with the medias help again ,the masses seem to think this war was needed. Until we get truth in reporting and more investigative reporters , who really care about justice and giving all the facts when reporting ,change is going to be a long and painful road. I want to thank our "free press" for protecting the big guys and hanging us working folks out to dry !

2. Welcome to the "cover" for the next 4 year bush* folly!
Remember how the good times of the Clinton years became bush*s scapegoat, well the press is gonna let him do it again, this time they are gonna let bush* blame his predeccessor, HIMSELF!, anything but allow something that even remotely resembles blame to fall bush*s way.

3. They see a bad Christmas buying season and
know the retailers will be crying the blues after Christmas. No matter what Bush lies about the economy, people just are not spending....

7. Dude!!!!!!!
My local Sacramento newcast interviewed shopping mall retailers who had the gall to say Americans aren't spending enough because they're not patriotic enough.

Stop the madness.

4. Yep, that's pretty much how it goes.
The deficit spending is going to kill us. We didn't hear a peep about it before the election, but now we'll hear about it.
