| Economy Grows at Fastest Pace in 1 1/2 Years |
| 2005-12-21 |
| WASHINGTON - The U.S. economy turned in a remarkably strong performance in the summer despite surging energy prices and the battering the Gulf Coast states took from hurricanes, although business growth was slightly lower than the government previously estimated. While down slightly from the 4.3 percent GDP estimate made a month ago, the new figure demonstrated that the economy kept expanding at a strong pace during the summer, led by solid increases in consumer demand, especially for autos, and business investment. It's the economy, you stupid... |

| #3 The press loves facts as long as they contribute to the approved narrative. Inconvenient facts are dismissed, twisted, or buried on Page A34. |

| #2 It was revised down though... it's weird that the headlines are so positive. Usually the press is so excited to scream how the sky is falling on upwards revisions... on a downward revision it's abll about how it's the fastest pace in 1.5 years. Maybe the pressis just contrarion to facts ;) |
