How Long Will The MSM Talk About Positive UI Numbers?

I am curious how long the MSM will talk about the favorable UI and job creation numbers. They appear to be scouring the stats so that they can spin them badly. The other aggravating thing about the recent report is that they will probably disappear quickly as a news item. When they were over 8% the news kept repeating and repeating and repeating the number and pounding on it 24/7.

With a media being so bought it is a danger to our democracy. For some reason the media escapes the scrutiny and criticism that it truly deserves on so many matters. And it has not done enough to smack down the GOP for its trutherism on this issue.
