Kurtz calls out Hannity for his 'deceptive' editing of Obama's speech

[TurtleDude]

With good reason!!! Who started the war in Iraq and on who's watch did the economy go south?

the economy started going south at the end of the clinton administration when the dot com bubble went down the toilet. the Bush economy went south when the dimocrats took control of the congress

Depends on what you are looking at. The GDP for example only had a minor recession in the last two quarters of 2009, so from that perspective the US as a whole only experienced about 6 months of recession since 2000.

If you are talking about unemployment, which is what most people are angry about, then you're still wrong. Unemployment actually started to rise at the start of Bush administration in 2001, not at the end of Clintons. But thats a small gap. However you can clearly see from the graph that unemployment shot up at the end of Q108, two years after the Dems took control of the House and the Senate.

So here's two hints for future posts and thinking on your part:
1) Check your facts
2) The economy is so massive and there's so many ways of measuring it that you have to define specifically what you are talking about. Simply saying "The economy" is so meaningless you might as well be speaking pig latin.

I will say this, though you likely don't disagree, but it was probably too soon after Bush took over to blame him. However, I don't think any president controls 'the economy."

 

[Dittohead not!]

yet the alleged reporters on main stream media channels are just as bad

example-when the clinton gun ban was set to expire NIGHTLINE had a piece on it and the show started with a film clip of two bank robbers in LA spraying the streets after a robbery with fully automatic assault rifles.


the clear implication was that the clinton ban dying meant that machine guns were going to be available for public purchase

another example of clear bias was a question on Nightline last night asking people what they thought of O'Donnell's EXTREME POSITIONS on certain issue

that sort of bias is far worse than the obvious bias of commentators.

I'm not sure what makes it worse. It looks to me like the same sort of thing.

All of them have one objective: To sell airtime and newspapers.
