Althouse finds propaganda displacing objective news coverage, gets confused...

Ann Althouse:

This isn’t serious analysis of what the state did and the real effect on workers.  It’s more of an effort to propagate hysteria.

That’s the whole point.

“Employment oblivion” at the stroke of a pen

Bill Quick:

...in this case, "stroke of a pen” consignes several hundred thousand people to employment oblivion, thus improving the useless "headline” number by nearly half a point while at the same time covering up the abysmal nature of employment in America these days.
...
I once said that at this rate, we’d end up with zero unemployment, because we’d have zero people in the labor force looking for work.

The New York Times: “...so much more bigoted than it was a generation ago.”

Glenn Reynolds:

I have a comment and a question. Comment: The New York Times would never spread fear, uncertainty and doubt about a Muslim candidate’s religion in this fashion. Question: When George Romney ran in 1968, was the New York Times fretting about his Mormonism?

Some questions really don’t need asking...

And some of ’em even run for (and get elected to) office...

New York Mayor Bloomberg:

[New York] is a city that people [who] would want to take away our freedoms gravitate to and focus on.

FCC Chief Wants To Ease TV Station Cross Ownership With Radio And Newspapers

FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski is prepared to junk federal rules that limit companies from owning TV and radio stations in the same market — and go half way in doing the same for TV stations and newspapers...

"...combining the localism and integrity of Gannett with the... um... localism and integrity of Clear Channel!"

Newspaper and broadcast owners say that mergers are needed to preserve local newsrooms as their companies compete against a massive number of national news competitors on cable TV and the Internet.

...just the way that relaxing the ownership rules in the 90s preserved all those unique radio formats... oh, wait!

“...Each and every one of these gentlemen is a flaming hypocrite.”

"Flyovercountry” snarks:

Notice how it was no longer patriotic to simply donate to the IRS, it must be compulsory for all of us in order to attain that lofty perch of patriotism...

Each and every one of the men in this video has reached a level of success where they are permanently exempted from the consequences of their actions...  The rest of us are always left to deal...  It costs us in other ways, fewer jobs, higher inflation, inefficient markets, and much more.  We do not have a wealth gap in America, we have a consequence gap.
