Correct me if i'm wrong, but I think it’s kind of crazy that wsaz.com has a count of how many jobs have been lost in the area since the beginning of the year. It’s disappointing enough to WATCH the news but to see that makes it even worse.. The economy sucks. Everyone knows it.

I agree citylimits..
I'm glad that they are sending the Blenko workers back, of course some of these other people could be back at work by now too .. but WSAZ probably didn't update it..
I do not understand ANYTHING when it comes to politics & the economy anymore. Nothing makes sense to me..but I am going to stick w/talking about Milton because I do not want to get in a fight with anyone . LOL! |

WSAZ tends to be a bit neurotic when it comes to news. They like to repeat things OVER and OVER and OVER and OVER and OVER and OVER in a single newscast.
I remember when they were covering gas prices, they kept saying they are about to back up. In fact they still say it from time to time. I agree that it probably will level off or go back up. Who knows. I'm not an economist or an oil industry expert or analyst. But it seems like 'SAZ likes to rub faces in it. |
