I don't know when exactly it became the norm for good news to be buried, but that is exactly what is happeneing...and not just in economic news, but that's another whole rant.
Mark's Remarks
Tom hits the nail on the head with this one. He hits it out of the park. If the Left and the MSM in this country really wanted to discuss issues like education, poverty, the economy, they would allow both points of view. If they really wanted to discuss the good or bad of the war, they would present both sides. However, what do we hear? We hear the latest death toll. We don't hear about, except in maybe a passing whisper, about terror attacks averted or new discoveries of hidden plans.
In terms of the economy, when we get what overall has been great news for the past 4 years, it is quickly followed by a long and anecdotally filled story of how hard someone has it. We immediately get bombarded wih images of poverty and the like, even though poverty is down, firstly, and secondly, the very statistic of the poverty line is skewed. You know, most of the children who fall under the statistic of obese are also under the poverty line? How can that be, if we have such a hunger problem in the US? The problem is not hunger or lack of opportunity. It is lack of responsibility and lack of understanding by the Left that you cannot just give and give and give. Because when you do that, they just take, they don't get that hand up, they get the hand out. You would think with after 30 plus years of the failure of the Great Society the Left would get it...or, do they want to keep the people poor, uneducated, and in rundown ghettoes, because it is a voting bloc for them? Hmmmm......
