RUSH: How many news outlets are reporting that the price of gas has gone up by more than 30\u00c2\u00a2 in the last month? The price of gasoline, the average price of gasoline, is higher than it was this time last year. How many people are reporting, in the news media, the wholesale sales figures, which are plummeting? In fact, an umbrella question: How many stories are you seeing, period, about the economy? In fact, maybe I have it here near the top. You know, a lot of…<\/p>\n
And here are today\u2019s “The Ten Things to Know for Thursday” from AP on Yahoo! One: “Clashes Rage in Aleppo Despite Regime Claims.” Where? What? Where is Aleppo? I know it\u2019s in Syria, but do you think that the average Yahoo!-ite has the slightest idea where Aleppo is? Do you think the average Yahoo!-ite knows where Damascus is? Okay, if they don\u2019t know where Damascus is, how in the hell are they going to know where Aleppo is? That\u2019s number one: “Clashes Rage in Aleppo Despite Regime Claims.” <\/p>\n
And number two: “Romney Won\u2019t Wait for Obama\u2019s Pick to Trash Possible VP Candidates.” Number three: “Murder Trial Ends for Wife of Disgraced Chinese Politician.” Number four: “News Groups Head to Court for Release of Data on Colorado Shooter.” Number five: “Why Livestock Ranchers are at Odds with Corn Farmers.” Did you know that, folks? Did you know anything on this list? Did you know the murder trial ended for the wife of a disgraced ChiCom politician? <\/p>\n
Snerdley, you live on the AP wire every day. I know you know. I\u2019m asking you to put yourself in the shoes of the average Yahoo!-ite or whatever you call them. Number six: “Dry Summer is Bad News for Bears.” These are the “Ten Things to Know for Thursday” from AP via Yahoo! Number seven: “How Japan Marked the 67th Anniversary of the Nagasaki A-Bomb Attack.” I\u2019m just reading the headlines. I don\u2019t know how they marked it. There\u2019s probably the mayor of an American city over there apologizing.<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t know. When I lived in Sacramento, there was a mayor there named Anne Rudin, and did she go apologize or did she want to go? I don\u2019t remember which, but she wanted to go over there to apologize. Number eight: “Man Accused of Killing a Hasidic Boy Expected to Plead Guilty.” Number nine: “Japanese Women\u2019s Soccer Team Hopes to Repeat its World Cup Victory.” Number ten: “With Bolt and Blake Running, Some Ask: Who is Going to Get the Bronze?” All right, that\u2019s the last of AP\u2019s top things to know: Who the hell\u2019s going to get a bronze medal?<\/p>\n
Not gold, not silver, but, “Who is going to get the bronze?” Again, number three: “Murder Trial Ends for Wife of Disgraced Chinese Politician.” So in the Top Ten Things to Know on Yahoo! via AP, not one thing about the US economy. Not one thing about Romney either, but not one thing about jobs. In fact, this is Thursday. It\u2019s Job Revision Day, and there is a jobs story out today. And the Reuters people, in the story I saw, tried to make it look pretty good. <\/p>\n
