The Totalitarian Progressive Media is claiming the economy is recovering and getting better. This is not the case. The recession is easing, but we are nowhere near the bottom or even close to having a boom. The media has much invested in Obama and will do all they can to make him look good. If this was a Republican administration they would be attacking them over the economy.

The front page of the New York Times is filled with hope about the nation’s economic situation.  The lead story, “Job Losses Slow, Signaling Momentum for a Recovery,” reporting a decline in the unemployment rate from 9.5 percent in June to 9.4 percent in July, begins by declaring that, “The most heartening employment report since last summer suggested on Friday that a recovery was under way — and perhaps gathering steam.”

“Employers are no longer in a panic,” one expert tells the Times.  The paper reports that Obama administration officials “credited the stimulus package” for the improvement, and “some said” job losses would be far worse had the $787 billion stimulus not been passed.  The paper quotes President Obama saying his administration has “rescued our economy from catastrophe.”

Put that together with earlier data that the economy shrank at a one percent annual rate in the second quarter, and the Times reports that the news has “convinced many forecasters that when the history of the Great Recession is written, these summer months will be the big turning point, when the economy started to grow again.” Of course, there’s some “unsettling information” in the new economic data, but overall, the message of the Times story is: Good news — the recovery is underway.

This is propaganda pure and simple of the Neo-Progressive Machine. They repeat their spin over and over. This is a tactic that all totalitarian movements use.
