Contradicting Fox's own reporting, Garrett claims stimulus “has yet to stimulate” economy

On Special Report, Major Garrett asserted that Robert Gibbs “said that [a forthcoming] jobless report will also probably tabulate another several hundred thousand jobs lost, meaning the stimulus law has yet to stimulate the U.S. economy.” But Fox News itself recently reported that “Obama's stimulus package ... provided some support to second-quarter economic activity,” and in the remarks Garrett cited, Gibbs said that “the recovery plan, we think, is having an impact cushioning the economic downturn.”
