I’ve been seeing this same headline for 4 months now. Thus prompting the question, “What recovery?”

The MSM really should give up at this point. No rational, sane person believes that we’ve ever been in any sort of recovery.

Somebody needs a pic of a car crash with a caption reading, it appears to be slowing...

My fear is this is the new normal, just like Europe.

US Economy Showing More Signs Recovery Is Slowing

Ya think? Why does CNBC even bother to call it a "recovery".

Economists had expected a reading of 7.0, based on the results of a Reuters poll...

Well there's yer problem!

“Recovery is slowing”
I never thought I’d actually live to see a day when what used to be informational media devolved to become simply an operation of politically biased and agenda driven Orwellian-speak.It’s simply incredible.

These "expectations" can't be based on anything more than the vain hope that things will get better. There is certainly no existing economic model which accurately measures human behavior that would lead anyone to believe the economy is on the mend.

The bottom line is that Libs are realizing it is a lot easier to talk an economy down than talk it up...

On a call right now with IHS Global Insight and they have revised down their 2011 GDP to 2.5% growth. They believe that 2Q10 GDP growth will be revised downward from the original BEA report of 2.4% to 1.1%.

An ISI survey of economists shows 2011 GDP average of 1.9%. That’s pathetic after such a deep recession.

The media is trying to condition us into accepting the new socialist state like it’s always been this way. I forget if we’re at war with Oceania or Eastasia at the moment.

CHALLENGE FOR ALL FREEPers!

I plan to put this in the "activism" threads, too.

I have noticed local television newscasts often follow the pattern of the LameStream Media! Have you? Even FOX stations, on a local level, are not always "fair and balanced"....so here is my resource for YOU and a challenge:

National TV Station Guide!

Above is a link to a resource for almost every tv station in America, state by state. I URGE you, if you watch local news to contact your local stations if they DO NOT report the news about Obama, the mosque, the floundering economy, unemployment, etc. Let them know you are a local resident and you are tired of the one-sided job.

I believe LOCAL stations will listen MORE to viewers than the networks--and if we have to, let's contact not just the people who answer the phones, but go to the managers, news directors, and those "in charge".

We can make a REAL change in the way Hussein is worshiped at the local level.

I do urge you to take a FIRM but tactful tone. People screaming at their target might feel good, but won't get the message through. I suggest something like:

"I've noticed you didn't report on the record number of jobless claims this week, and that the President began another 10 day vacation. How can I think this is anything but biased reporting?"

The lib journalists are likely to say something like "Well, we can't fit everything into the newscast...", you can reply with an appropriate response. Maybe something like, "This isn't the first time" or "the bias seems to be a pattern" and let them know you're watching, and do not appreciate it. Tell them you'll be contacting others in the station or the sponsors....

Folks, this isn't "community organizing" the Hussein way, it is making ourselves KNOWN: and it has to start at the bottom.

We are only a FEW days/weeks away from the election. Crunch time...let's make a difference! Use this resource above!!

There has never been a “recovery” so how can it slow. What is happening is the economy that Bozo and the boys ruined is getting worse.
