Right Wingnut Rove And Others Pretend Half Million Job Loss In November Did Not Happen

Yesterday on Fox News, Bill O’Reilly and Karl Rove went on a tirade against the media for hyping the struggling state of the economy. They claimed that it’s not as bad as reports are making it out to be, and journalists are overstating the case in order to help President-elect Barack Obama:

O’REILLY: All right, so you are agreeing with me then that there is a conscious effort on the part of The New York Times and other liberal media to basically paint as drastic a picture as possible, so that when Barack Obama takes office that anything is better than what we have now?

ROVE: Yes.

This is really the height of stupidity, now. Courtesy of the U.S. Department of Labor:

Nonfarm payroll employment fell sharply (-533,000) in November, and the unemployment rate rose from 6.5 to 6.7 percent, the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor reported today. November's drop in payroll employment followed declines of 403,000 in September and320,000 in October, as revised. Job losses were large and widespread across the major industry sectors in November.

This constant Orwellian commentary by the right wingnuts never ceases to amaze me! There is no real problem here. It's just being manufactured so that the left wing commie pinko socialists progressives can claim Obama is god (especially in light of the fact that it was supposedly god who told Bush to run for president -- ha ha).

Someone needs to wire Rove's mouth shut.
