Network Sunday Shows All Ignore Strong Jobs Report And Record Stock Surge

[pbrauer]

Just some evidence to show the claim the media is liberal is bull crap.


From Media Matters:

Here are some of the topics that were discussed this week on the Sunday programs, instead of strong employment gains and an historic stock market performance:

*Airport security

*Summer reading lists

*"The story of trailblazing chef Leah Chase [who] took a stand against Jim Crow"

*Marijuana laws

*Conservative pundit Dinesh D'Souza new documentary, America

*A poll suggesting Obama is "worst president" since World War II

*The World Cup soccer tournament

*Martha-Ann Alito's volunteer activities

*"An author who has made an unusual career at finding American history in everyday places."

LOL... More Media Matters blather.

First, the Sunday morning politcal shows are about POLITICS, and there are a bunch of political issues taking place now and those aren't even close to the top of the list. Second, Media Matters focuses mainly on the people who were interviewed, who were all booked by the networks prior to those numbers coming out. The round table discussions are the ones that focus on the key issues in the political world, and right now those issues aren't 1 month employment gains or the stock market. They are the the border crisis, immigration reform, the recent Supreme Court decisions, the middle east situation, the president lack of leadership and action.

The one month employment numbers and the stock market are NEWS items, both of which were covered by every single network news outlet.

Thanks for posting another laugh from those idiots at Media Matters... Every time you do, you remind people of the dishonesty that's involved in being a liberal.

Thanks for the laughs, Grim, I guess The World Cup soccer tournament and Martha-Ann Alito's volunteer activities are real important political issues, yeah right. I would bet that if the jobs report was especially bad and stock market took a dive, they would have mentioned it. Besides, the significance of the gains on Wall Street is that it was the first time the Dow Jones stock exceeded 17000. Whats discussed on those Sunday talk shows is generally the news of the week and it doesn't have to be political. You damn well know it.

If the liberal media did some real investigative journalism, and they tried to maintain even a smidgen of intellectual honesty and journalistic integrity, they'd have to report that in June the economy added 236,000, mostly part-time, minimum wage, service industry jobs (read: fry chefs at McDonald's) and only 16,000 decent manufacturing jobs (capable of sustaining anything like a middle-class standard of living).

I think that in this case the media is being as liberal as it usually is, but sinning by omission.

Don't want to call attention to the fact that the "Obama recovery" is a house of cards, so better not to call any attention to it at all.

There's a reason they are called "the Sunday morning political shows" Pete, and not the Sunday morning news shows. It's because they tackle and discuss the most important, hot button political issues going on in Washington and whether you like it or not, the job numbers and the DOW just don't make the list.

I realize that both you and Media Matters desperately want the media to ignore the political mess Obama finds himself in with Iraq, the border, all the smack downs from SCOTUS and him being sued for over stepping his authority, but the mess he created is just too big for the POLITICAL shows to ignore.

Had ABC, NBC, and CBS not reported on their nightly news programs the DOW hitting 17k or the June job numbers, you might have a point... But they all did report those things... Sorry Pete, but you've once again bought into Media Matters and their phony, dishonest propaganda... What's sad is, you will keep falling for it because they say exactly the crap you want to hear.

Stop making a fool of yourself Grim, are these what you call hot button political issues?

So why doesn't Media Matters buy a time slot on Sunday, hire their own people, and then they can report on whatever they think will grab an audience?

Do you think a lot of people tune into George Stephanopoulos' show to find out how the stock market closed the week before?

 

[Linc]

Would FOX be promoting the jobs report and stock market if Romney were President ?

 

[Linc]

Rightie politicians and their lemming posters have their negative talking points all lined up each month when economic news is released.
Since after Obama's first month of Feb. 2009, when Obama was blamed for the loss of 750,000 jobs THAT month.
Like blaming Nixon for the soldiers who died on his very first day at the helm .

Media Matters is not in the business to present the news or to entertain an audience. Your suggestion could also be made to Newsbusters who very often complain whats not being covered on the network news programs, but I am not that stupid to suggest it.

Of course not, however I would expect a mention when it enters into record territory which it DID.

Can you post a bunch of video clips from these same shows back when Bush was President and the market hit record numbers for the first time showing that it's common for the stock market gains to be addressed on these Sunday shows?

So Media Matters wants the Sunday shows to discuss what Media Matters thinks is important, not what the networks think will appeal to their audience......got it.

Who cares... This isn't about Fox, nor is it about Romney.

I honestly don't think you do.

 

[Grim17]

That's the entire point I was making. The sunday political shows don't center around the top news of the week, but around the top political issues of the week... It's a fact that Media Matters obviously believes their readers are either too stupid to figure out, or too partisan to care.

 

[Grim17]

Of course not, however I would expect a mention when it enters into record territory which it DID.

When there are few political hot topics to discuss, they will discuss job numbers and the dow, but that isn't the case right now. There are some very big poliical issues going on and quite honestly, the Sunday shows don't have enough time to cover all of them, much less the 2 you are talking about.

I don't trust stocks, never have. To think something so run off by pure speculation has become the center of the lives of all of the world's most influential.

But whatever, not like people aren't going to stop putting BS values on companies to make their "stocks" rise. Also, not like people aren't going to stop being gullible and actually say "hey wait a minute, this company in decline isn't worth 225 billion dollars?"

Thank God they didn't talk about stocks, what a useless invention of humanity. Its sole purpose is for people's opinion to somehow turn into money-gain or money-loss.

If you actually looked at what the stock market said would you give someone 10,000 dollars in return for 1,000 dollars?

Media Matters, just like Pete, are faced with the reality that their president is incompetent and desperately want all the bad news surrounding Obama to just go away. So they come up with phony garbage like this so they can say the president is a victim of bad press, rather than being an inept leader.

Sorry Grim, going over 17,000 is a big deal, and despite you nixing it,its very political.

The president is not incompetent, look to George W. Bush who took this nation to war for no good reason for be incompetent.

You are correct Pete, it is big news and every single network news program reported on it...

It is not however, big political news worthy of being discussed on the Sunday morning political shows, when you have the border crisis, immigration in general, terrorism in Iraq, the conflicts in the middle east, the recent SCOTUS rulings against the president/progressivism, a lawsuite being file by the house leader against the president, and how all these issues are effecting the views of the American people toward the president, his policies and his leadership ability.

If those shows would have made the dow or the June jobs numbers the focus of their discussion, that would have been a disservice to their viewers and seen as a blatant attempt to run interference for the Obama Administration.

The Media Matters piece is a phony story, packed with phony, manufactured outrage designed to give political partisans like yourself something they could use to avoid having to deal with the reality of Obama's incompetence.

When backed into a corner, go to the "Bush" strategy... Obama is president, not Bush... Deal with it.

You do know that lawsuit by Boehner is phony bull**** don't you? It's nothing more than him trying to keep his job as speaker, it won't ever happen. LOL. They just had a yuck fest on Hardball about it. There is nothing phony in that report by Media Matters, I especially find interesting why you don't address those topics mentioned in the OP vs. the jobs report/ Dow Jones stories.
