OT--More bias in the press...especially from those liberal news organizations
Was Black Friday sales good? Or poor? It depends upon who you ask. Look
at the following headlines: AP: 'There was a lot of hype, but results were on lukewarm side'... NYT: Mall Stores See Trouble in Sales Data... Financial Times: Wall Street seen boosted by strong Black Friday... BLOOMBERG: 'It was a very good weekend'... Why are liberals eternal pessimists? |

The NYT chose to focus their headlines on the negative mall store data (down a mere 0.9% if early estimates are accurate) rather than the exceptionally strong data coming from the discount chains outside the mall...which saw an 11.4% increase in spending. Why does a 0.9% decline in sales make their headlines, but an 11.4% increase doesn't get mentioned until halfway down an article about "lukewarm" sales? |

You'll probably say you don't have the time, but I'll bet you'll spend more time complaining about it here. |

It's much more effective to point out the bias in blogs across the internet. If you haven't noticed, the major news organizations are losing readership, and the internet is taking their place. You can reach more readers tapping away at an internet keyboard, than sending a letter to a newpaper that would probably never even publish the letter. |

Major news organizations are ALL losing ***PRINT*** readership and gaining online readership. I'm not sure where you get your stats from, but I heard this from real source: An interview a month ago with Craig Dubow, president and CEO of Gannett. Do you suppose he has any reliable data on this issue? |

One of our biggest, Tyson's Corner, just increased it's size by about a third. The others remain packed! We now have a local LL Bean.

Here is one in Westlake, Ohio within 15 minutes of us that opened just last year: http://www.crockerpark.com/ Here is one on the east side of Cleveland that opened a couple of years ago. http://www.legacy-village.com Here is one in Columbus, Ohio: http://www.eastontowncenter.com/ |
