I've been to the Townhall site previously. Here's an example of what's currently on the site......an article by Larry Kudlow:
"Despite all this, investors still prefer George Bush over John Kerry by a margin ranging up to 15 percentage points, according to numerous polls. Undoubtedly they favor Bush's tax-cut policy over Kerry's proposed tax hikes. After all, Bush's tax cuts have propelled a net 50 percent increase in broad stock market averages since October 2002 (using the Wilshire 5000 index), even despite this year's market sluggishness."
You prove your far left bias. This is the kind of information that is missing from your diet. You digest the left's spin, and never get the middle much less the other side.
If there are numerous investor polls, then I have not seen them....and I read the WSJ and IBD regularly. If he means the regular polls, I have not seen once where Bush is ahead by 15%. So what to believe?
I don't know whether there are numerous of just a few. There must be some, or it would not be on the news. If you mean regular political polls of investors, which ones are those? I have never seen that demographic broken out in a Zogby or Gallup etc. It appears unlikely that your spin sources would report the results if they were in the polls.
As for the Wilshire 5000 index being up 50%, I don't know if that's true. But what I do know is that if it is true, its one of the few indexes that's up 50%. Most indexes are down or flat for the past two years. In fact if someone's personal portfolio is up 10% this year, its a miracle.
Parts of mine are up more than 10%. Parts are down more than 10%. The stock market beleives that Bush will be reelected. As most of the time the market goes up before a Republican is elected. It always seems to go down before a Democrat is elected.
I am not calling Kudlow a liar but he is certainly manipulating numbers to make a point. The truth is the markets at best are doing only so so and it depends very much on the stocks you own. And the economy too is only doing so so.........its not a recession but it clearly isn't a boistrous recovery. And behind all of its is the ugly spector of oil hitting $60 per barrel.
You seem to think it is ok for Dan Rather Biased to publish forged documents to pursue his partisan agenda. You have not decried Mark Halperin for instructing ABC to be biased. Your position on this is without credibility, and clearly partisan.
So, no thanks, I will stick with the mainstream press.........I think their reality is closer to the truth.
I seen too much of that on the right. They seem to be more concerned with their own agenda than what's best for this country.
The FMSM is more concerned with their agenda than what is best for the country. Your partisanship is clear for all to see.
I'll stick to a diet of news from both sides of the aisle. |
