The real numbers

In reality, unemployment spiked to an all-time high of 18%. Yes, 18%! This is the official number reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).

Might as well save that page locally before the White House gives Yahoo a call and tells them to pull it for being realistic.

Oop... I meant misleading.

I figured some of the newbies and others who aren't aware of the severity of the situation and lies coming out from the MSM would appreciate knowing the real stats and how the government manipulates the results :)

I was shocked earlier this week when the White House was actually RETRACTING NEWS FROM MSM because it did not fit thier agenda.

How blatant do we want it?!?

I'll tell you what.
NOTHING shocks me anymore with everything going on.I know, it's sad but true.
Lol... hell I don't even think aliens popping out the sky would do it.
Yeah and that was pretty blatant of them I figured they just did that kind of thing by a phone call with no actual reporting of the call itself.
They must either be feeling pretty ballsy or they just don't care because much of the public is clueless.

An article Tuesday. I think.

It was titled "'Backdoor Taxes To Hit Middle Class" and Reuters was running it. It was about tax increases that are coming. It was linked to Drudge.

The White house called them and it was taken down.

Free Press at its finest...

There is a DP thread about it somewhere, of course.
