      Huh? Do the construction workers repairing the bridge outside my house every day in front of the "American Recovery Act" sign work for the federal gov't?

      Why would someone say something so obviously blatantly false?

      And why are they not held accountable and instead given airtime on CNN?

        its just like the road workers here-= when they knock off they go to the 'govt store' to buy 'govt beer' from the govt employee who takes that govt money.

        don't get me started on how they then totter off to the govt walmart...

        Because they didn't see it, it doesn't exist.

      Sure the stimulus has created non-government jobs. Look at all the folks FNC has hired to trash not only the stimulus but everything the president does.

      Coming up, is President Obama a mouth breather or a nose breather, we'll bring you the shocking story next.

      And why is working for the government somehow not a "real" job?

        Haven't you heard? Those damn police officers, fire fighters, and soldiers are public leeches. Not to mention other welfare queens like nuclear powerplant regulators, public teachers, and district attorneys general!

      And analysts are falling all over themselves trying to figure out why no one watches CNN.

      When Rick Sanchez isn't asking his Facebook/Twitter followers about their interpretation of a news story instead of engaging in actual journalism, CNN is legitimizing partisan ass-hats like Erick Erickson by posing them as informed contributors. Aside from Fareed Zakaria, every program on CNN is void of anything thought provoking or enlightening.

      When CNN dies, I won't shed a tear. Good riddance to this drivel.
