"Media sources such as CNN's MONEY have been downplaying the state of the economy for a year now, using selective statistics and the commentary of Krugman types."

That's true, and while the economy has been a little soft, it's nowhere near as bad as the media and Democrats portray it. Reagan had to deal with unemployment of over 10%, Bush 41 had around 8%. The highest under W. was 6.4%, has since fallen to 6.1% and will continue to drop as the economy heats up.

And while try as they might, the nice thing is that even the liberal rats in the media can't hide rising stock markets, Dow 10,000, increasing 401K statements, and unemployment falling into the 5% range.

And don't forget those tax cut checks that people are receiving! Plus, real estate values are up 20%+ since 2000, offsetting any stock market weakness for many people, and resulting in wealth gains in the tens of thousands for every homeowner. (They never mention this directly, though)
