Yet More Roanoke Times Pro-Obama Economy Misinformation

-
Roanoke Times, 7-8-11, Pg 7: Job outlook brightens as hiring rises in June.
Big article with nice picture of a UAW Obama Government Motors (GM) worker.

What a pile of heifer-dust! Don’t the editors of the Roanoke Times spend any time at all validating the garbage they get from AP or are they willing participants in the mis&disinformation campaign being waged to help the Obama reelection campaign? Since they “invented” the 1-1/2 x 5-1/2 inch big bold heading and major lead-in, one might suspect that the girls are still bouncing their pom-poms on the Obama cheer-leader’s squad.

The facts:
The Labor Department reported that employers added just 18,000 net jobs in June, the fewest in nine months.
The jobless rate ticked up to 9.2 percent from 9.1 percent.
The pace of job growth is not even enough to keep up with population growth -- it would take about 125,000 jobs per months to do so -- and certainly not enough to bring down the unemployment rate.

Also there were: 418,000 NEW FIRST-TIME UNEMPLOYMENT CLAIMS
and there were 250,000 long-term unemployed who dropped out of the "job search market" who were not counted as unemployed (how obscene is that!).
All this after two years of the Obama economic fix-it programs that have resulted in massive debt without recovery; and the Editorial Girls at the RT rock-on!
