So, the July jobs report came out.  I was curious as to how the different news agencies were covering it.  Amazing the different spin they put on it.  Can you match the quote to the news outlet?

> Economy's job engine revved up in July
>
> U.S. Added 163,000 Jobs in July; Jobless Rate Ticked Up
>
> Jobless rate jumps as economy adds only 163,000 jobs
>
> July jobs report: Hiring picks up, but unemployment rises

Are they even talking about the same facts?  #1 is MSNBC, #2 is the NYTimes, #3 is Fox, and #4 is CNN.  CNN and the NYTimes take a balanced approach, Fox and MSNBC are loopy.
