Now that the election is over, the MSM seems to have a different take on economic news. Instead of "Unemployment Rate Rises in October", we get "Economy Added Far More Jobs Than Expected in October" from the NY Times, "October Job Growth Stronger Than Expected" from the Washington Post, and "Employers Go on Hiring Binge" from the folks at the LA Times.
Instead of "Rich Have More to Spend", the LA Times says "Retail Sales Increase 4.1% in October" and further that "some experts see a bright holiday season."
Will wonders never cease?
And LA has the best air quality in years!

How can this be? Did all the real reporters all escape from captivity? Did the editors of all these fine journalistic institutions all jump out of buildings on wednesday morning leaving their staff tow write what the saw rather than what the department head wanted them to see?
Or did they all get a look at their arbitron ratings and think "geez, nobody likes us anymore"?
