60% of households polled say the economy is worse than a year ago.
How can they report on that when only weeks ago they reported record sales for retail?

Figures never lie, and liars never figure.
The vast majority of anything reported by the media doesn't stand the common sense test.

Osky I always heard it this way: "Figures never lie but liars sure can figure." Meaning that liars can make the figures say anything they want them to say.

We all live in our own "universe" and choose to believe what we have a tendency to believe. It is too bad that so much of political news ends up being judged truthful or not depending on which party states it. We have been sucked into a society of labels and drawing lines in the sand. Issues are way too complicated for that kind of reasoning to be successful over the long haul. I want to stick to the news reporting aspect, the below just happens to be one example. In what universe?

If the President had his way there would only be one TV station. It's the First Amendment that gives us options and makes us work to evaluate "the facts" presented to us. Sometimes just tuning it out for a few days is refreshing! There should be punishment for not being completely truthful. Deliberately misleading and hiding behind the first amendment is a cowardly act.
