CNN Heidi Collins trying to spin that 96,000 a good thing

[59millionmorons]

She is interviewing Gephardt and said 96,000 new jobs thats a good number right? She is reading directly from the GOP talking points, every time she ask Gephardt a questions she looks down and reads off of a sheet of paper.

[cthrumatrix]

1. don't expect the truth from CNN....

[meegbear]

2. 96,000 as compared to, say, 25,000 ...

yes.

96,000 to 300,000. No.

Give it up Heidi.

[Richardson08]

3. Heidi is there for her beautiful blue eyes

[NewJeffCT]

4. I agree on that

She is one of those hot RW media whores that I'd love to have a one night stand with and then dump in the morning... same with Michelle Malkin

(Granted, that would never happen, as my wife wouldn't let me and, even if she would and I had the opportunity, I'm still too nice a guy to use & lose a woman)

8. Michelle Malkin?

have you not seen her ugly ass pic that has been posted here on DU? YECK!

21. Everybody looks bad sometimes.

I agree that Malkin is attractive. I am not pleased that I find her so. It means that my hormones value bodily beauty and completely overlook a reallly ugly soul.

[Carni]

9. Yuck-- You think she's hot?

I am no judge of hot women (as a woman and I am not into that lol)

But to me she just looks like the quintessential conservative pissy suburbanite.

[Demonaut]

15. a spinner, always a "little" fun...but as said above...gedafukout after...

[fishface]

26. LMAO.. "spinner"...

ya got to love a good spinner.:evilgrin:

[Carni]

5. Heidi Collins should be doing infomercials for Ron Popeel products

Where they found that airheaded, partisan, flake is a mystery to me.

I will never forget the time she was on CNN (filling in for someone else as usual) and she was flirting with the guy she was interviewing.

It was horrendous...she giggled and cackled like a sixteen year old cheerleader.

[Demonaut]

18. I switched to MSNBC after her interview with Gephardt...I hate the

morning bias and Karen Hughes is too much anytime

[Carni]

27. I started boycotting after something Collins did

Now I don't recall what but it's been a couple of months since I watched CNN at all--MSNBC isn't much better but the anchors at least aren't as grating. Collins just goes right through me.

[The Backlash Cometh]

6. I don't see how. CNN Headline News says that the numbers

are lower than expected and it's affecting Futures. Whatever that means.

[On the Road]

23. Affecting Futures

Means that financial speculators are buying securities that go up in value if the economy (stock indexes, commodities, etc) goes down. Whatever the editorials say, Wall Street has weighed in with its collective opinion.

[TomClash]

7. REMEMBER TO ABSORB ALL THE NEW ENTRANTS INTO THE JOB MARKET

about 150,000 jobs must be created.

96,000 jobs is pitiful. It means there are a lot of underemployed and unemployed people.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

11. I Thought Economists Put The Number Much Higher...

nt

[The Backlash Cometh]

13. Yes they did.

So, in other words, we actually lost jobs? I don't think we broke even with expectations.

[Richardson08]

16. Clinton consistently created at least 250,000 jobs per month

get well Bill

The expected number for September 2004 was 145,000-148,000.That number should at least 200,000 if the economy was on recovery

[Richardson08]

12. Ann Coulter and Laura Ingram make me wanna puke

[sjr5740]

14. It the hurricanes ... stupid

I read that on faux. Hurricanes and sharks cause bad job numbers

Clinton and Kerry cause terrorism

[Richardson08]

17. Actually the labor dept said the hurricanes had no effect on the #

Neil Cavuto used to be a partial commentator on CNBC

[npincus]

19. She is the MOST BLATANTLY REPUB anchor on CNN

I have ALWAYS thought so. Bill Hemmer is just an empty vessel.

[unfrigginreal]

20. Per Bloomberg reporter on the floor of NYSE

all traders were disappointed in the number because yesterday a number even higher than 150,000 was bantied about. So, the disappointment was greater.

[GR]

22. I Used To Like Heidi Because She Had Great Legs....

But legs are one thing, lies are another....I now hate her....

24. GOP's favorite jobs report -the household survey, shows 585000 jobs lost

Household Jobs show disaster-labor force drops 1 million, job loss of 585K

The GOP's favorite DOL jobs number, the Household survey number, shows bigger Job disaster than shown in the anemic 96,000 jobs gain in the payroll survey jobs number. The Household Survey reports 201,000 lost jobs in September since 139,681,000 were "seasonal adjusted" employed in Aug less 139,480,000 of Seasonal adjusted folks Employed in Sept., and that is a drop of 201,000 jobs. If you prefer numbers that are not seasonally adjusted, then 140,226,000 less 139,641,000, or 585,000 jobs were lost in Sept.

And that Steady 5.4% Unemployment rate is based on folks no longer being in the labor pool and therefore not counted as unemployed. The seasonal adjusted change is from 147,704,000 looking for work or employed in August to 147,483,000 looking for work or employed in Sept, or 221,000 folks dropped out. If you like non-seasonally adjusted numbers, then 148,166,000 less 147,186,000, or a huge 980,000 folks stopped looking for work or being employed in Sept.

NEARLY ONE MILLION FOLKS STOPPED LOOKING FOR WORK OR BEING EMPLOYED IN SEPTEMBER!!!!

28. Which report do I click to get those 1,000,000 lost?

[Roland99]

29. n/m...found it

Actually...there are almost 2 million less people in the civilian labor force since July.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

25. So now it's official - as this was the last jobs report of Bush's term

Bush is the only US President since Herbert Hoover to have suffered a net loss of jobs during his term.
