Looky here, how did I miss this?

Apparently, the U.S. Labor department reported that jobless claims fell to 303,000 - the lowest in four years. And the unemployment rate fell to 5.2% from 5.4% - the lowest since 9/11.

Gee, I don't remember seeing this reported in the MSM last Friday when the story broke. Isn't this NEWS after all? And we heard so much about these stats in 2004, too.

Well, I have the answer: The MSM isn't interested because:

• the election is over and it can't hurt Bush
• it wouldn't hurt Bush anyway, because it's GOOD news

see: U.S. Jobless Claims Fall 13,000 to 303,000, Lowest in 4 Years
