Rachel Maddow on her show this past Friday pointed out how well the economy is performing with job creaion, lower unimployment, a prediction of continued economic expansion and the fact that the economy grew by 3.5% during the third quarter. Yet she and other journalists have had many months to talk about the economic progress that has been made under the Obama administration and has failed to do so.
"PolitiDose" has not only been reporting the good economic news on a regular basis for several years to its readers but actually predicted it would happen long ago. Those things are not hard to understand if you follow the facts of previous democratic administrations and disregard all the nonsense noise of conservative republicans in congress or conservative journalists.
All one has to do is log onto the CBO, OMB, the U.S. Dept. of Labor, the TreasuryDepartment and other federal agencies that keep the actual official tally concerning the economy, job creation, deficit spending, the national debt and a host of other information.
Journalists betray their responsibility to the people when they push stories that do not counter the lies of the noise machines in the news media, especially cable news. They let so much important news go unreported for the sake of sound bites, hype and the ratings race, the news becomes one big blob of propaganda.
"PolitiDose" will continue to talk about facts and make predictions based on past performance on what ever the subject matters exists and hopefully people of good judgement will understand that understanding the past is the key to a better future.
