From Rush Limbaugh’s radio show’s email update today:
“Don’t Get Stuck in Reality: Retail sales up 1%! The housing market improves! Don’t need the Porkulus, ‘cause market is correcting itself, right? Wrong. The Drive-By spin will be that the economic stimulus from Obama’s bill is working.”
Notwithstanding that the Porkulus package hasn’t been passed into law yet, the media’s Obama suck-up bullcrap is already well at hand, as I’ve reported here, wherein the state-owned socialism-reliant CBC already credited Barack Obama and his “stimulus” package for the fact that computer chip maker Intel is launching a seven billion dollar investment in manufacturing and plant upgrades. On Tuesday (Feb 10) I wrote about it in “TAKING BETS Part III: Will CBC report it? Intel to invest $7 billion in manufacturing…”, then updated it later after they DID report it, like this:
…almost EXACTLY as sarcastically predicted in a comment to this blog entry by “twh”, who wrote: “They may report it, and say “See, Obama’s policies are already bearing fruit.” ”
Here’s EXACTLY how it was presented:
CBC Newsworld anchor Suhana Meharchand: “We have seen Washington swing into action today trying to give ‘CPR’ if you will to the financial markets and the economy and already we are seeing an example of stimulus in action—a company that is making news not for cutbacks in tough times but for quite the opposite! Jeannie Lee is back with that story and more—I mean this is hard to understand a company that is expanding in these times Jeannie?”
CBC “YOUR BUSINESS” reporter Jeannie Lee: “Yeah wool this is partly a case Suhana of ‘buy low sell high’, invest in bad times to cash-in when things turn around and also partly to get in on the stimulus spending action—all those billions out there for grabs! … So this is at least partially an example of ‘stimulus’ at work!”…
I later updated it again, noting this:
In a later “YOUR BUSINESS” segment, while informing us again about the GM job losses announced earlier today, the CBC reporter Jeannie Lee informed us that it would take a while —a “long time” —for any stimulus package to actually “kick in”.
CBC “YOUR BUSINESS” reporter Jeannie Lee: “…So Suhana more pain and more expected since it will take a long time for any stimulus package to kick in!”
So which is it? When things are looking up, it’s because of Obama’s magic. When they aren’t, it’s because his magic hasn’t “kicked in” yet?
EXTRA EXTRA:
In juxtaposition to the socialism-reliant state-owned taxpayer-funded CBC, today, Fox News Channel immediately and properly questioned the rationale of rushing the so-called “stimulus” package, in the light of the encouraging economic numbers without it. CBC would NEVER do that.
