Since day one, it was obvious to many on this forum that comrade zero was tanking the economy on purpose, whilst feathering the nests of the cronies that put him there. Now all the vaunted economists and pundits are scratching their heads saying “it wasn’t supposed to be like this”. Yes it was, in fact the plan came together splendidly.

Reuters is the worst tool. It’s even worse than AP, or even the NYT. That’s saying a lot.
If the writers at Reuters had their way, we’d all be living in East Germany, or Sweden.

Only in “0bammy world” is a worsening of the jobs picture worthy of a glowing headline.

“The claims number is not that bad.” said Cary Leahey, a senior economist at Decision Economics in New York.
I guess not if you compare it to every week for the last three years which have all been in this general territory.

Even the media isn’t able to spin the stats that hard enough to keep the key words out of the title any more. Notice also lack of the ‘unexpectedly rose’ phrasing, too.

This article is so very....Soviet.
Maybe the same writer does a weekly feature on cooking in North Korea.

The liberal media shilling for Obama reminds me of that old joke from back in the cold war days about the American’s beating the Soviet Union in some one on one sporting event. The next day Pravda reported the results with the headline, “Soviet Union ends Contest Near the Top, American’s Next to Last”. While the headline was true in a technical sense, The Soviet Union ended “near the top” because only two teams were competing and they could only have come in first or second place. And the American’s did end up “Next to Last” because, again there were only two teams competing and the Soviet team was last. It certainly did not convey the truth of the matter. Same with this story, instead of reporting that unemployment claims jumped, they get some so called expert to claim he thought they would jump far more, so they can then report, “Unemployment Claims jump less than Expected”. Turning a negative story into a positve one.

Had claims dropped, I’m sure they would have said they unexpectedly fell.

Unless you are unfortunate enough to be one of the 365,000.
