WELL, THERE WAS THAT OTHER REALLY BIG PROMISE
Philadelphia Inquirer Misses the Big Story

This isn't even a case of burying the lead, it's a case of ignoring it altogether.

How is it possible for not one, but two Philadelphia Inquirer reporters to write a 2,700-word article summarizing the first three years of the Bush administration, focusing, as the headline reveals, on "Promises Kept and Promises Stalled" (by Ron Hutcheson and William Douglas), and not once mention the President's promise that his 2003 tax cuts would produce 1.4 million new jobs, in addition to the 4.1 million jobs our ongoing prosperity was supposed to deliver? To not, in fact, mention jobs at all?
