Is it that damn difficult to either simply accept the fact, or God forbid, to search for yourself?
Is it so hard for the OP to put up a link? Seriously, why even create a thread like this without a link? That's just lazy (and Bunyan is better than that).
I personally abhor stream-of-thought posts or posts claiming something but with nothing backing it up.

Damnation! To beat predictions by that much is im-fricking-ressive!
CNN's front page right now : Not a damn thing about the GDP, not even in the CNN Business section of their front page.
CNN Money: Zip
CNN Business: 2nd headline from the top
CBS News: Nada
AP News: You guessed it, nothing
ABC NewsTop headline in the upper left
NBC News and MSNBC: a couple of scrolls down on the right side
Fox News: Nothing
Fox Business: 2nd headline from the top
What a strange assembly of those who are running it versus those who aren't and how prominently.

There is a freaking link in the OP. What the hell are you talking about??

Looking at the time stamps it looks like you posted without a link, 90 asked/bitched about it and then you added one.
My point was more toward NC in that asking for a link, especially in the opening post of a thread, to provide some backup to a claim is (at least to me) less irritating than demanding someone asking the OP for a link go find their own link.

Look again.
90proofprofessional, the "I-Dunno-How-Ta-Do-Google-By-Myself" poster, "bitched about it" initially, and then again 5 mins AFTER the link was added . . . i.e., after "I-Dunno-How-Ta-Do-Google-By-Myself" could have confirmed the thing himself even if a link had not been posted.
CNBC/FBN both broke the news ahead of webreports.
CNBC, FBN, or Bloomberg TV was likely the initial OP source.
The OP updated with a weblink shortly after.
90pp didn't like the message, so he sought to somehow insult the messenger.

That's how this is done right?

yeah great point, except i posted a link immediately in the post where i gave op shite about posting nothing but a # and a 90-melt
op edited a link into his afterward

The "5 mins AFTER the link was added" post wasn't bitching about there not being a link, he was responding to fjlee90's question regarding 90's own initial post asking for a link.
If it wasn't on a website for Bunyan to link yet he could have mentioned that in the post or mentioned it in a later post in response to 90.
Both you and I have asked for people to link things they've claimed on this site. I think griping about someone else doing it just because you don't agree with their politics is hypocritical.

well that's just laughably false, even for you
for an example, take the information given in the OP of my tracker thread, or the basis of every single update being additional pieces of varying types of information updates on a regular basis

So looking over the data, one thing that struck me as extremely odd was the GDP deflator suddenly dropped from 2.2% over the previous 4 quarters to about 0.65% (annualized) for this quarter.
In other words, nominal GDP over previois quarters grew by about 5.2%, but with the 2.2% deflator, real GDP grew by about 3.0%; however, in this quarter nominal GDP grew by about 3.8%, but the 0.6% deflator, real GDP grew by 3.2%.
Not only is the sudden decrease of almost 1.6% odd, both core measure of inflation (PCE and CPI) have been about 1% to 1.5% higher this quarter. So I would imagine that the deflator will be revised upward, and all else being equal, real GDP would be revised downward, which would be aligned with expectations.

Poor 90. It could be raining titties and he'd find a way to get hit with a dick.

well that's just laughably false

inflation does look like it's actually been pretty low over the quarter, though. that deflator may get revised up a bit, but i do doubt that the quarterly rgdp figure gets meaningfully revised down
for me, i'm much more focused on the volatile parts that bumped this up, and on the more fundamental ones that were so weak (particularly consumption, which makes up on average the majority of gdp, and has to over the long-term drive most of its growth).
i don't think consumption will be as weak in q2 as it was in q1. but there could easily be a somewhat nasty snap back in inventories, net exports, and state/local govt spending. if not that, a gradual drag over the year from those things
