Mainstream Media Bias, GDP edition

The networks barely mentioned it last year when the GDP doubled in the first quarter. Katie Couric, that bastion of objectivity, called the jump “disappointing.”

This year, the GDP dipped for the fourth straight quarter, the first time that has happened since they began keeping track in 1947, and the networks trumpet the news as a “glimmer of hope.”

What is different from last year at this time to now?

Oh, yeah. They weren’t Bush’s media lap puppies.
