The Washington Times? And you accuse
me of spreading propaganda.

Still, even with the bias, all the WT story really says is that the effects of the stimulus aren't as good as originally forcasted.
Here's how Politico reported the same CBO information:
CBO: Stimulus added up to 3.3M jobs
When you compare the two versions of the story, pay attention to the cherry-picked details and wording in the Washington Times version and what they chose to include and what they chose to omit. It is clearly written to cast the stimulus in the worst possible light.
Just for the record, here's how the director of the CBO compares the various policy options raised by Democrats vs Republicans:
