What Silver Lining?

Don’t want to spend too much time pointing out examples of something that is a foregone conclusion. It really is too easy of a target and there are entire websites devoted to the same but from time to time we’ll throw news items related to this against the wall to see what sticks. That something, of course, is “Media Bias”.

Its not a conspiracy, though. Its anything but. When survey after survey consistently demonstrates around 90% of members of the industry identify themselves as Democrats or vote for the Democratic candidate depending on that particular election, this phenomena in the media can more accurately be described as “group-think”. (…and golly, just think of how much more these numbers would be skewed when you take Fox News out of the equation?)

… but 90%? Holy smokes. There is far more political diversity in our office… in the belly of the military-industrial complex beast.

Anyway, click on attached article below documenting a lowering of the poverty rate and continued low unemployment but where the “Yes, but…” caucus is in full throat and ask yourself if you really feel any better about the economy after reading it. Good news is simply an anathema to some people.
