We all know that the media has a love affair with Obama - why i don't know - but as i was stepping out for lunch I saw CNN on in our lobby (they feel they have to show CNN since we are in Atlanta) and the headlines were -"Republicans block democrats from extending unemployments benefits" ... this is so biased it is not funny. If you switch the channel to Fox they are reporting the correct story - the republicans want a single bill only dealing with extending unemployment benefits and they will support. Instead the democrats are piling the kitchen sink in to a bill on unemployment benefits and the republicans will not support the other spending.

Why does the media play this game? To me this says the democrats care less about extending unemployment benefits and more about politics to try and say the republicans are blocking the bill. If the democrats really cared about extending unemployement benefits they would submit a clean bill and get on with life.

The democrats spend more time on their spin game and figure out more wasteful spending that has done nothing for the economy. If their programs worked ... they would not even have to be talking about extending unemployment benefits.
