St. Petersburg, err, Tampa Bay Times, Pravda Florida keeps falling. Unfortunately, our local rag, the Lakeland Ledger, has picked up many columnists columns from the TB Times.

There have been 31 straight months of job growth, and more than 5 million private sector jobs have been created. The unemployment rate is down to 7.8 percent not great, but the same as when Obama took office.

The Obama economy.
Will repost White House talking points for food.
The Tampa Bay Times (formerly St Petersberg Times) is rabidly lib. If the main news story of the day is complimentary to conservatives, they totally abandon the idea of running any news headline at all and use an op-ed or poll as the headline.
Their most loved agenda item is how nobody in FL pays enough taxes.
I won’t even buy them for the coupons, so I am proud to say I am part of their problem.
