But CNN says its the weakest economy in three years

[ClearCase_guy]

Odd. In the past few days, I've seen quite a few news stories about how moribund the US economy is right now. Yet, when I look at all the numbers, it sure looks like we're doing very, very well.

How extremely odd for this sort of story to be in news right now.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

To Hell with CNN. We know what side they're on.

[Peach]

Well, it beats their lying that it's the worst economy since Herbert Hoover. Apparently forgetting the Carter years with double digit unemployment, gas lines, and 21% interest rates.

[the invisib1e hand]

CNN's irrational apathy is most unprofessional. I cannot believe they included that partisan quote a "news" story about the economy -- as if that has anything whatsoever to do with GDP.

I think 13 of the last 17 sessions have been record highs for the DOW. Is this 70+ drop in the DOW today the soft landing? If so, I'll take it .

With a Republican in office, when the GDP numbers are rosy, the GDP "is a bad barometer of the health of the economy."

The the GDP aren't so rosy, "the economy is weak."

When is the US military going to realize that they should be aiming missles at CNN's headquarters in Atlanta?

[darkwing104]

Someone tell CNN that we refuse to participate in their (MSM's) manufctured recession

[traditional1]

That must be in anticipation of the wonderful Democrat plan to raise taxes after Nov. 7?

If this economy is going to stall, (according to CNN/DNC talking points), then, if Democrats win, it will be shifted into reverse....

[Unmarked Package]

Ah yes, another example of what passes for financial and economic reporting from the Democrat Media (CNN, et al.); one or two short paragraphs of numbers with little explanation followed by several paragraphs of talking points straight from DNC press releases. I would have been a pauper if I heeded the policies and predictions of the Democrat Media. Ignore the Democrat Media and prosper.

[RightWhale]

It's mostly the slowing of the housing market and construction growth. If the economy actually stopped growing it would die.

[Perdogg]

It will be revised upward weeks after the election.

I just read on Marketwatch that today stocks were "Stung by GDP Report"!

I guess there's no such thing as profit taking anymore, especially when the markets have been running almost straight uphill for the last few months!

I'm not even a financial analyst, but smart enough not to write STUPID stuff like that!
