Odd, isn't it?

Don

were on a few Air America radio stations and Msnbc. Now that republicans are in office you are hearing it more from the msm and less from our side.

We can be hypocrites, too.

This is from October 2004:

The thing that really confuses me is that Bush managed to do anything but lose a landslide given the downward trajectory of the economy.

I think the change in the media since 1992 has given incumbents a nearly-insurmountable structural advantage in a campaign.

It's so much easier to see everything simplistically because that creates real solutions.

No matter how you slice it ... that's a real improvement.

Obama halted the collapse, and has turned it around.

Only the haters won't acknowledge that.

The press will avoid pointing this out because the need a close race in Nov. You don't need pundits 24/7 if it becomes too obvious that Obama will win in a landslide. And those are the only jobs the pundits care about.

job cuts in Republican controlled states?

Don't want to make people think that the economy is getting significantly better under that radical Kenyan Socialist dictator?

...U6 numbers that contradict the working pool numbers that will fluctuate because some people in America have a choice of whether they want to work or not

But, yes, it's kind of just become a journalistic habit to put a "but" in your article about it.

Incidentally, discouraged workers don't factor into the payroll numbers but into the unemployment numbers.
