Just to humor you, I will give Obama the credit for the uptick in the economy, whether he is responsible or not. But I still don't think most people would say that the Obama Administration doing something good is "typical". Quite to the contrary. It is not typical at all. That is why he is regarded as the worst President since World War II. GW Bush is considered the 2nd worst.

But I'm sure you will argue that people are wrong. They are right about Bush being a bad President but they are wrong about Obama. 
With regard to the coverage of the jobs report by the media, they all covered it. Why would it be surprising that a channel with a liberal bias like MSNBC would want to really focus on good news for Obama, while a channel with a conservative bias like FOX would want to focus less on that story?
It's funny that people are so outraged that FOX has a conservative bias while they have no problem with the liberal bias of the other channels.
This article quotes numerous people who work for CBS and those types of news organizations and these people admit that there is a liberal bias at those stations, and their stories reflect it.

I dont mind bias, I do mind stories being invented. Thats why I always seek.confirmation when fox.breaks something.
Like the study showed, people are less informed if they watch fox than if they watch no news at all.
And high unemployment is the.new normal, too much automation and too many jobs going overseas.
People accuse the unemployed and underemployed of being lazy or stupid...the facts are we dont have enough jobs, and more are going to college than ever. But degrees dont equal jobs these days.
