MSM Playing Up UI Numbers Aggravating

When Bush was in office you never heard the UI numbers from the MSM. You did hear about the job creation numbers by megaphone. It may be just me, but the GOP MSM just plays up the UI numbers when they are down over and over and over again. When they are good they will play them a couple of times and point out the bad parts.

I cannot listen anymore when the econ numbers come out.

It seems like the GOP MSM is playing up every shred of bad (economic) news available, presumably to try to "talk down" any signs of recovery and, at least indirectly, attempting to lead people to blame President Obama for things whose causes extend FAR beyond his Presidency.
It's getting harder and harder to listen to the GOP MSM!
