(60,536 posts)1. How are you defining "media?"
The Washington Post, the New York Times, the Boston Globe and others have all sent out bulletins announcing the hike in GDP.

(33,497 posts)4. just like it was not a big deal when unemployment went down last month
but if it goes up this month in the final jobs report before the election, you know they'll keep harping on that day and night.

(14,040 posts)5. Thanks for using "couldn't care less" properly.
I think the candidates really wanted it to be about the economy and jobs but there are these really stupid Republican state candidates running for office that kept saying equally stupid rape comments. And since it's projected that women and Ohio are the keys to this election, I think the media are focused on that.
