supposedly saying we need to "respect our enemies" even though it's taken out of context. In the business section they don't have it listed as a headline either. Instead they have a link for a story about a man who was killed by an anaconda.

A big part of the problem for the Democrats is people knowing what we have accomplished. The Democrats are still the party of the middle class, even if people don't know it.

The media is becoming entirely too obvious.

Ebola and ISIS completely disappeared from the headlines as soon as the mid term elections were over. Scare job complete. Mission accomplished.

Now the media is trying to bury any economic numbers which benefit Dems.

The media will be fully backing the GOP in the 2016 election.

You can bet on it.

I found them all on all 4 sites in about 5 minutes.

Also, links usually move down the main page as the day progresses and new news comes out. I think you're trying to create a problem where none exists.

That's my point.

plus wages actually went up - Dow and Nasdaq are up and guess what - in terms of over 200,000 jobs per month we have to go back to 1999 for consecutive months of these numbers - why would the hacks carry that.

corporation s that deliver all our "news" is actually reporting unbiased news.

How did ABC report this? "How the Upbeat Jobs Report May Not Translate to Your Wallet"

http://abcnews.go.com/Business/upbeat-jobs-report-fatten-wallet/story?id=27389594

Accentuate the negative, bury the good.

Wow,how negative can you get. Blame the President because the African American worker is not moving up the ladder. To many under employed,then turn the segment to why the Cops are killing unarmed Black people and that it's Obama's fault. Then do a twitter poll saying Obama is not business friendly. Duh!!!!!Sure as hell see the influence of Comcast/GE/Phill Anshutz,tell me different. And the market is going to do 18k even for 1 second today. Someone will buy a share of IBM at some ridiculous price just to jack the average just like the 17k break thru. And Obama ain't Wall Street friendly.
