Both do.
But you need demand for products& services& for that the customers
need money they are willing& able to spend (private sector).
The likes of Faux& the rethugs have mounted a massive scare campaign
to try to prevent a good (if any) recovery (after they created the
problems
in the first place, just like the Great Depression& Ronnie Rayguns' S&L
disasters).


There was another example of proof that Fox is the propaganda arm of the
republican party yesterday. Republican pollster and focus group expert
Frank Luntz was on TV asking questions to a conservative focus group of
Iowans. When the people in the group answered questions about Obama
being a Muslim or not being an American you should have heard the
answers. It was as if you were watching Fox. Everything the members of
the group said was word for word what they heard on Fox.

After the group members spoke their minds they showed clips from Fox
showing the hosts making comments. The comments from the right wing
hosts was almost exactly what the conservative focus group said in their
answers to Luntz. Which just goes to show you how well propaganda works.
Fox puts out its line and the right wingers repeat it back as if it came
from God himself. It's definitely time to stop considering Fox a real
news source. It's not. Frank Luntz' focus group showed Fox for what it
is. A right wing propaganda machine.

How is that different from people like you who regurgitate what the
other networks and media want you to believe?

I don't watch Fox, I watch poor Katie on CBS, no more believable than
any other newsclowns, but somewhat easier on the eye. Too bad what she's
given to read has so little credibility.
