As an idiom, ‘in the tank’ is defined as ‘favoring, …assisting in a partisan way’…

When it comes to failed Democrat economic policy or anything Obama, nothing clarifies that idiom like the mainstream media.

When a consumer confidence survey inched up a single point in July, the media trumpeted that gain (from 84.1 in June to 85.1) as a ‘soaring’ accomplishment.

Got that? Goes up 1 point…Happy Days Are Here Again!

Well, guess what? August consumer confidence (same survey group) is now 80.

Yup! Dropped a full 5.1 points in a month. But, not to worry…

…’cuz that’s being defined as “a bit less optimistic…” by the mainstream media, with our favorite headline being CNBC’s “…much lighter than expected…”.

All together now: 1 point up = SOARS…

…5 points down = lighter…

In.the.Tank…

…an Idiom…for IDIOTS…
