PROOF OF MSM BIAS AND PARTISANSHIP IN ECONOMIC REPORTING

NRO/CORNER:

Yale University economist Ray Fair has shown that a weak economy hurts the incumbent party. If a Democratic-leaning press can convince everyone that the economy is in recession, then it can influence the election.

Our analysis indicates that the treatment of the economy would be much different if there were a Democrat in the White House today. If so, then the headline of each bad piece of news would be, more accurately, "Economy Hovering Above Recession."

But instead of that, we get doom and gloom.

The politically motivated pessimism, like the computer virus, can have real consequences. While the economic data has been mediocre, consumer sentiment, as measured by the Conference Board, has been driven by the negative drumbeat to its lowest in 16 years. Negative sentiment might well slow spending enough to give us a textbook recession in the second half of the year.

WE POSTED THIS EXPLANATION YESTERDAY.

• THE LEFT-WING DOMINATED MSM WANT TO ELECT A LEFTIE SO BADLY THAT THEY DO WHATEVER THEY COULD EVEN IF IT LED US INTO A RECESSION - AND EVEN IF IT LED TO DEFEAT IN IRAQ.
• THAT'S WHY THE LEFT ARE TRAITORS: THEY PUT THEIR OWN LEFT-WING AGENDA AHEAD OF ALL ELSE.
• THAT'S WHY I HAVE LONG ARGUED THAT TO DEFEAT THE JIHADIST ENEMY ABROAD WE MUST FIRST DEFEAT THE LEFTISTS AT HOME.

VOTE ACCORDINGLY.
