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.

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.

Somewhere back in the early 1980s I realized I was being fed a lie by the media. They turned a liberal into a conservative overnight and I've never looked back. If only more people would realize they're being lied to.

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?

There's no question the mainstream media has been in the tank for the Democrat party all of my adult life. I've been receiving stuff from AARP for almost a decade if you were wondering how long that's been.

Can someone point me to anything remotely positive about the 2nd Amendment you've seen on the nightly alphabet news channels? Ever seen a piece exposing anything bad about the abortion industry on the nightly alphabet news channels? How about on CNN? You can't fly in this country without being held hostage to CNN reporting on airport television.

With the country being about equally divided on these issues, it shouldn't take much effort to come up with some examples of balanced reporting on these issues. That would be the case if the media weren't sold out to a particular cause. There's no question it is.

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.

I believe most people see the economy as local. As in how their family friends and community are doing. The stock market going up or down doesnt really mean a hill of beans to anyone who is years away from retirement. As most people have retirement accounts and not actively trading and raking profits. Therefore, six thousand point incerase in the dow jones doesn't have much affect.
That said; I believe even our local economy is seeing improvement. Except for agriculture. Government is too involved in that sector to see much of any improvement, or market opportunity.

The news should be just that news, all the facts of an issue presented fairly with no opnions. What we have now are right and left reality tv.
