Dallas Morning News Bias – November 7, 2013

*Profits, pay are at odds, AP, p. 1A – Folks, this is priceless: AP is confused — why does our Marxist president’s economy still suck while the stock market soars and corporate profits bloom? How can this be? Still-high unemployment, no jobs, no investment?AP noodles this endlessly — without noting:
— The Fed is still feeding 85 billion fake dollars per month into the stock market;
— corporations, small businesses, investors are still scared feces-less of Dear Leader’s anti-business/anti-growth regime.
— corporations, small businesses, investors are still scared feces-less of coming Obamacare effects.
And more Va. governor’s race news you don’t see reported in The News:
— McAuliffe won by just 2 points, dragged down by Obamacare
— The RNC bagged on Cuccinelli
— Cuccinelli won independents by 9 points
— Cuccinelli won married women by 9 points
— Cuccinelli was outspent by $15 million

QUOTE YOU STILL HAVEN’T SEEN IN THE NEWS’ YEAR-LONG JFK50 SERIES
“He didn’t even have the satisfaction of being killed for civil rights. It had to be some silly little Communist.”
— Jacqueline Kennedy, Nov. 22, 1963

*Lax [ammonium nitrate] standards may endanger lives, p. 1A – Folks, this is The News’ Sunday banner story. It rambles on for four pages — while Obamacare bares down on millions of Americans. (That, BTW, gets a third-of-a-page on 6A, under the header: “Some” will see costs soar under Obamacare. But I digress.) The News’ agenda with the West blast is and always has been to prove conservative-run Texas lacks proper regulation, that conservatism gets people killed — and they’ve spare no expense to “prove”it. (Obamacare, with it’s 10,000 pages of accompanying regulations, is evidently The News’ preferred approach.)
