5 seconds on Fox; "Obama's mishandling of the economy causes job losses"

Rachel was on commercial .... they have no shame .... the message is that Obama
and the dems caused the job losses .... not the republican backed off shoring of the jobs.

How do you do cost benefit analysis when you don't have all the numbers available?

I don't remember seeing that during the last 7 months of Bush in the WH when we were losing 700,000 a month....I wonder why that is?

for your Fox addiction

Unfortunately, in this day and age, the media set the agenda. Rupert Murdoch and his News Limited empire can control just about anything. His company should actually be called "Limited News".

In Australia we recently had a federal election. At the moment our economy is about the best amongst first world countries. We did not go into recession. We only have 5% unemployment. Our budget will be back in surplus in 3 years. When the global financial crisis first hit back in 2008, our government immediately introduced stimulus programs. Nearly everybody of working age received a cheque for about $1000. Billions was poured into building school halls right across the country, creating employment everywhere there are schools. Anybody who wanted insulation installed in their ceilings could have it for free.

One would think that a government that achieved all this would win an election in a landslide. Unfortunately Murdoch controls a fair chunk of the media here. He ran a propaganda campaign that would have done Goebbels proud. The result of the election was a draw, and government was decided by independents. Lucky for us they chose to support the Labor Party. We currently have a minority government and we'll be lucky if it runs full term.
