Look at what BBC today said about the US unemployment and Obamas chances:
The unemployment rate edged up slightly because the number of people looking for jobs increased. These were people who had previously given up hope of finding work, but who now think they may have a better chance. As a result, this increase may be seen as a sign of confidence in the economy, analysts say.

Who are these analysts???

They're using the same spin American networks are using. It has the added bonus of being technically correct, so no one can call them out on it.
However, they don't mention the fact that the labor force participation rate is still the lowest it's been in 30 years, and that if the LFPR was the same now as it was 4 years ago, UE would be over 11%

The BBC is in a lot of trouble with Jimmy Savile.

The only reason their hopes are up is because stores are hiring TEMPORARY seasonal workers now.

I listen to the BBC every day at work. On Radio 4 and World Service, they relentlessly parroted that the jobs report is a good sign for the president, since there was an increase of 171,000 jobs.
Only once in 8 hours of listening today did they mention that the rate upticked. This is nothing new for them, though. Their take on our politics is so off base, it's nothing short of hilarious.
