Midknight Review -- new and revised: Reuters is the only agency reporting today's good unemployment numbers It is out of the U.K. Why no American coverage?

(Reuters) - The number of Americans filing new claims for jobless benefits fell to a 3-1/2-year low last week and factory activity in parts of the Northeast gained speed in December, suggesting a further strengthening of the economic recovery.

Understand that Reuters is an international news agency, liberal to the core, based out of the United Kingdom. Today’s weekly unemployment application news, a positive report, was run by Reuters and no other agency. No doubt, it will be an American headline, but why not “jump” on this story? Didn’t happen.

You know what we think: these weekly numbers only measure the number of new applications for benefits. It really is not an “employment” report. Turns out that last week, 315,000 people “fell off the labor rolls” because they were no longer looking for work and were no longer receiving benefits. So the week’s report show positive growth, when, in fact, the 315,000 had nothing to do with “job growth” at all.

The official claims report for last week was 366,00 adjusted seasonally. The unadjusted seasonal count was 433,287. Maybe that is why no one is really getting too excited.

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
