Ohio Was Doing Better Before Kasich

From Plunderbund

According to the U.S. Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics’ CES survey (a survey of employers) here’s how many jobs Ohio has created in the eleven months since Kasich took office on Jan. 10, 2011 versus the last eleven months under Strickland (Feb. 2010-Jan. 2011):

Net Jobs Created
Strickland

+64,000
Kasich

+38,000

The 3k jobs lost in December sent Kasich’s job creation total under the 40k figure he had been touting since Issue 2 was defeated.  In fact, Ohio created almost as many jobs in Strickland’s final month (34,100 from December 2010-January 2011) than Ohio has since Kasich took office.

New Study Reveals That Stupidity Can Make You Conservative And Racist

Posted on by

As reported by Yahoo! News:

There’s no gentle way to put it: People who give in to racism and prejudice may simply be dumb, according to a new study that is bound to stir public controversy.

The research finds that children with low intelligence are more likely to hold prejudiced attitudes as adults. These findings point to a vicious cycle, according to lead researcher Gordon Hodson, a psychologist at Brock University in Ontario. Low-intelligence adults tend to gravitate toward socially conservative ideologies, the study found. Those ideologies, in turn, stress hierarchy and resistance to change, attitudes that can contribute to prejudice, Hodson wrote in an email to LiveScience.

“Prejudice is extremely complex and multifaceted, making it critical that any factors contributing to bias are uncovered and understood,” he said.

Myth of a Liberal Media Bias: Sunday Political Shows Packed With Republicans

Posted on by

We will touch upon the “Myth of a Liberal Media Bias” frequently on this blog, since it is one of the most powerful lies that conservatives have peddled for three decades. It has drastically shaped how politics is covered in America. Because Republicans have been so successful in convincing a large portion of the public, and the media, to believe there is a Liberal Bias, everyone just takes it for granted that political coverage is tilted to the left. This also affects how the media treats stories. Out of fear of being labeled “biased” by the Right, the vast majority of major media either is afraid of tackling obvious lies and falsehood by Republicans, or worse yet, uses conservative talking points as the basis for their news coverage.

Proving bias one way or another is difficult, but when you are presented with numbers (or as they used to be known, “facts”) that are so glaring, you have to take notice.

Media Matters has, on more than one occasion, documented the extent to which Sunday morning shows rely heavily on Republican guests. Most recently, Roll Call took a crack at it, referencing its own database of lawmakers’ television appearances.

Not surprisingly, Roll Call found, “If you were watching the major Sunday morning talk shows last year, your odds of seeing a Republican Member of Congress in the guest chair were far greater than seeing a Democratic Member of Congress.”
