NY Dems-Bloomberg News financial pundits jumping for joy over state of the economy.
As I watched Bloomberg today (I think it was the program For the Record) I was shocked that they were all gloating over how bad things were in the economy. They were almost laughing over the jobs report. They chuckled and grinned over the fact that the stimulus hadn't done what Obama Administration had hoped.

Who's side is Bloomberg on? It's certainly not the country's!!

Hey New York Dems, please go their feedback site and let them know what you think of their one-sided anti-American coverage. It gets worse by the day. It's becoming more like Fox Financial News every day.

1. Bloomberg is a propaganda outlet. Enabling the front-loading theft of 401k and pensions
Funded with seed money from the Fed and allowed to filter trades. The ruined good companies and stole the money.

I know this sounds like tin-foil lined helmet stuff, but the diary on DK has been there for 2 days and I haven't seen it discredited yet.

I'll go look at the last posting, but it's still there.

2. Ignore them - but read Robert Reich's column for yesterday. The
stimulus needs to continue (the jobs part only) and much bigger. I am a reader of James Howard Kunstler and we have other problems that are behind this than just bankers. Until we look at that we are not going to fix this mess.

4. I used to watch Bloomberg because it seemed they had quite a few insightful analysts on. Now it
seems they are opposed to the current administration and are doing their best to take it down. They actually seemed to be enjoying themselves today. All but laughing and slapping their knees over the misery of the nation. Disgusting. I was truly offended.

3. Maybe Bloomberg is the financier for Romney's bribes to the Olympic Site Selection Committee ...

5. I doubt they needed bribing. The article today about the "hastle" in trying to get
visas for athletes and others who need to come to the United States in order to participate in the Olympics said it all.

6. there was no "hastle" for the atheletes in 2002 in Salt Lake City?
whoda thunkit ... what with Pres. Bush gearing up for war and being concerned about terrsts, you'd think the security would have been tighter and the ability to get in would be harder ...
