The ever evolving media

Owners of big companies control the media to the extent now that they will openly endorse a recovery or a leader for the oval office without blinking ........

..... the mainstream media has now come to the point where they believe that they can alter the universe of mathematics by telling it to do so ...........

.... the only thing expanding right now is the hubris of those intellectuals who "believe" that there is a verbal solution for all matters under the sun ........

...... I doubt everything coming out of Wall Street and Washington ........

...... why should I believe that the economy expanded at 3% last quarter when you see all of the other uncovered doctored numbers from our recent past? .....

...... wheres the beef? .......

Today the Tulsa World had an article about an Architectural firm - been around since early 80's Had 250 employees last year, and had cut staff more than 50%. Announced that in the past 45 days they have lost so much business and had so many past due accounts that they are closing their doors.. "The economy is a lot worse than they say..." was a quote from the owner.
