Laugh-a-Minute MSM Sees 'Pause' in the 'Recovery'

This has to be the media’s version of a comedy bit.

Across the board from the activist old media we find the universal common thread, they ask: “Are we seeing a pause in the recovery?”

When was the recovery? Are you talking about the recovery of the Lakers in the second half of the NBA Finals? The recovery of British Petroleum from the worst disaster in the history of the world forever and ever? The recovery of Jet Blue from a wacky flight attendant?

Oh, they’re talking about the financial recovery. When did that happen?

The same media that was begging to preach financial disaster for the final 18 months of the Bush administration (don’t doubt me, I was told to read those scripts and caught trouble for correcting them at the time) is now working overtime to call for a recovery where there is none.

Tell the nearly 10% of Americans who are unemployed that there was a recovery that has now supposedly just “paused.” Of course, that number is greater than ten percent in reality because so many have just stopped looking for work because they know there are no jobs during this “pause in the recovery.”

So, when was this recovery? I’ll tell you exactly when the recovery began for the media. July 26 at Yellowstone Park when Joe Biden declared this the “Summer of Recovery.”

Finally (gasp!) this was the news from on high that the media had been waiting for! The White House has spoken and this is now the “Summer of Recovery.” The parrots on the evening news sang that tune like it had come down from the mountaintops and was engraved on tablets.

Oh, of all the times that I hoped the media would actually get something right, this would be it.

Problem is, the economy didn’t cooperate and there, of course, was no recovery, but not to bother, the word recovery was out there and it must be used as often as possible.

So, today we don’t have the garbage of failed policies from Dear Leader and the liberal Democrats in charge, we’ve just had a little ol’ “pause in the recovery.”

Saying that it was just a little ol’ oil spill in the Gulf would absolutely be more believable.
