The "business news" media is every bit as compromised as the rest of the media.
Remember when, post 9/11, GWB was given scant respect for his recession recovery because it was a "jobless recovery?" I haven't heard that term used once in the last two and a half years to describe the wonderful and miraculous O'Bama recovery.
No. Instead we have been treated to report after report citing "unexpected" results. Instead the truth about the stimulus (that it has been a slush fund for the Democrats) has been papered over. You will note that no one talks about "shovel ready jobs" anymore. That term was bandied about to sell it to the public and now that the money has been spent (largely on public sector payrolls and pension funds) is there any accountability as regards "shovel ready jobs?" No, of course not. And there won't be. Not until a Republican candidate with a backbone and testosterone demands to know where all these trillions of borrowed dollars went. In other words, it will take a conservative candidate to do the job of the media and point out that there are no Hoover Dams to show for these trillions. There is not Golden Gate Bridge or any of the other public works projects that we were led to believe would be the result of all of this unprecedented borrowing and spending.
No, the business media is largely silent over this fraud. There are exceptions but too damned few to overcome the carney show that has been and continues to perpetrate history's biggest ever bait and switch.
