All this M$M handwringing about "job losses" is bullshit!!

[Breeze54]

Gee, haven't we all read the headlines here at DU in the last month or two?

50,000 laid off for Company XYZ?

and 2,500 laid off from company %$#?

I mean, it's been going on for MONTHS and MONTHS!!!!

Is today's so called "new unemployment figures" really a surprise? :shrug:

I say, 'No, they aren't and they were EXPECTED and the fact that the M$M

is saying that Wall St. "took a dive" due to the NEW bleak unemployment figures is

A LIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1. You were expecting them to tell the truth?

Why is this the lie that has got your knickers all twisted tonight?

[Breeze54]

3. No, of course they're lying but the fact the M$M

is making this into a big deal is the lie!! "got your knickers all twisted tonight"...?

My main point, in case you missed it, is that the M$M is trying to upset people....

by reframing this "NEW" unemployment rate and scare people. I'm just saying that it's a load of crap.

We've all known all this and if not, you should have if you read DU or the news with any regularity.

2. Lies = what they do for a living. I scream at the SOBs everytime I see the TV.

Pretty much every word out of their mouths = lies & spin.

[Breeze54]

5. Ain't that the truth !

But have you noticed the huge spin on these "new" unemployment figures?

It's such a crock! it's such a lie and then they say that Wall St

took a spin downward because they didn't EXPECT it!!

What a f'k..ning LIE!!!

[Hannah Bell]

7. Yes, they didn't expect the "downturn" either. But of course, they did.

More than that, IMO - they actively provoked it.

4. They were expecting bad and got worse.

That's why Wall St took a dive.

[Breeze54]

6. BULLSHIT!! Wall ST CAUSED the lay offs!!! THEY did it!!!

THAT'S THE LIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

8. I just don't know what to tell you.

If the payroll report deviates far from expectations, the market either applauds or dumps on the news.

This has been happening the first Friday in the first full week of every month for many years now.

9. Who ever could have predicted..

planes would fly into buildings?

[Breeze54]

13. No kidding... it wouldn't have been that report, the 'PDU', would it?

:shrug:

:P

:hi:

[stillcool]

17. they've been 'hood-winked' again!!

I can't bear to watch the media crap..but I do think I could write for them.

[Breeze54]

21. LOL... then write for them (for a check) BUT write for US as a Union!

;)

10. I've heard between half a million and 700,000 in December alone.

That does seem awfully high.

[Breeze54]

14. But those are figures from last month!!

You get it?

:hi:

[geckosfeet]

12. Well, come on. We were just told a few weeks ago that the economy

has been in recession for over year. It took them a year to screw up the courage to actually say that. Something any bozo on the street could have seen for themselves and they think that just cause they don't say it we don't see it.

The MSM has lost all credibility.

ALL!

Nothing left but info-tainment, titilation and the NPR snooze machine.

[Breeze54]

15. Thank You and I agree and that's all I'm saying... we all knew this!!

It's not like this is new news!! ;)

:yourock:

[aquart]

16. Months? It's been going on for YEARS.

[Breeze54]

20. You're right but I was specifically talking about the last few months...

I know it was the last LOOOOOOOONG years (1997) but people can only absorb so much, right?

[bottomtheweaver]

18. I notice they're really pushing the "WWII ended the Depression" idea

and I strongly suspect they're lining up WWIII to end this one too. If Iran takes the bait they get their wish.

[Breeze54]

19. I do too... they ARE trying to flip our minds!

Please resist!!!

:hug:

And tell others about it !!
