"Up to 100,000 new jobs" or "100,000 new jobs"?

The ever loyal BBC "report" that Gordon Brown "said the programme would create 100,000 jobs, helping to curb rising unemployment and enabling the economy to stabilise." - note not an exact quote. Meanwhile the Guardian reports "Gordon Brown today unveils ambitious plans for a 1930s American-style programme of public works to ease the pain of recession by creating up to 100,000 jobs." Again no actual quotation. The Telegraph reports that: "Up to 100,000 new jobs are to be created in an attempt to offset unemployment cause by the recession under 'anti-recession' plans announced by Gordon Brown." and there is a quote -

"I want to show how we will be able, through public investments and public works, to create probably 100,000 additional jobs over the next period of time in our capital investment programme - school hospitals, environmental work and infrastructure, transport."

So despite the propaganda of the BBC, it would appear that Gordon Brown has not promised 100,000 new jobs. Nor has he even promised "up to" 100,000 new jobs as The Guardian claimed, please note that 1 new job would be up to 100,000 new jobs - mind you I suppose zero would also meet the bill. In fact our glorious leader has promised "to create probably 100,000 additional jobs over the next period of time". How long a period of time?

Maybe the BBC could analyse their glorious leader's words rather than just report the spin in future.
