1. NBC: Not favorable
Interviewed a woman who is a bartender making $6.50 an hour with no benefits. She used to be a mortgage underwriter.

3. Yeah, bad for *
It was the very first story, too.

And the background pic was a BIG red "down-arrow" symbol.

You didn't even had to listen to know things were shitty!

2. They reported the GOP answer.

We were too distracted from the good news on the economy in previous months by the bad news out of Iraq. Poor George just can't get a break. But you know they'll do their best to help him.On CNN.

5. CBS prominently displayed projected #'s vs. actual and noted the low
pay that accompanies those jobs by featuring a former manufacturing employee who now stocks shelves at a supermarket.

Followed it with Boo$h making the remark that the economy was moving forward.
