left-wing bias<\/a>?\u00a0 Yeah, me neither.\u00a0 Also, Patterico explains how <a href=\"http:\/\/patterico.com\/2010\/09\/02\/manufacturing-dissent\/\">the media has shaped the national discussion<\/a> by selective coverage.<\/p>\n<p>Market Watch:\u00a0 <a href=\"http:\/\/newsbusters.org\/blogs\/matthew-philbin\/2010\/08\/30\/shock-cnn-banks-doing-more-obama-homeowners\">The market is doing more for troubled homeowners<\/a> than the government it.\u00a0 CNN is, apparently, shocked to discover such a thing can happen.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Recovery&#8221; Summer Dept.:\u00a0 Germany&#8217;s recover has been fueled to a large extent by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.qando.net\/?p=9315\">private sector consumption and growth<\/a>, as opposed to the graph I posted earlier showing most of our jobs went to the government.\u00a0 And irony of ironies, a French bureaucrat had to tell the US about cutting spending spurs growth.\u00a0 Why can our own guys understand that?<\/p>\n<p>ObamaCare Dept.:\u00a0 After helping pass the health care bill, one Democratic Senator, using language he helped craft in the bill, is trying to use it to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.com\/2010\/09\/01\/wyden-pushing-for-oregon-_n_701785.html\">exempt his state from the individual mandate<\/a>.\u00a0 &#8220;Yeah, it&#8217;s a great idea &#8230;
