Has Obama lost CBS?

Hotair.com:
CBS delved into the jobless numbers and discovered that the percentage of unemployed who have been out of work for more than six months now exceeds that of the 1930s economic collapse:

There is an unfortunate adage for the unemployed: The longer folks are out of a job, the longer it takes them to find a new one.

CBS News correspondent Ben Tracy reports that the chronically unemployed face the hardest road back to recovery, and that while the jobs picture may be improving statistically on a national level, it is not for them. …

About 6.2 million Americans, 45.1 percent of all unemployed workers in this country, have been jobless for more than six months – a higher percentage than during the Great Depression.

There is a hard and fast rule for presidential politics: if your results have to be compared to the Great Depression in order to look good, you’re in serious trouble. If your results look worse than the Great Depression, you’re in deep trouble. And if the media starts to report that your results make the Great Depression look better, especially if you’re a Democrat, then you may want to plan for your retirement earlier than expected.

That last is key, the behavior of the liberal media. Until now, CBS has been a loyal Obama team player, which is what makes this report interesting. Have they finally run out of ways to cover for Obysmal's failures? Maybe the long overdue exit of journalist extraordinaire Katy Couric has something to do with this sudden blip of integrity. Is there finally some pang of conscience for having foisted this destructive fool on the America people? Not likely.
