Ahh the Math Skills of Journalism Majors.

Does anyone else roll their eyes to the heavens and mutter god help us when they see a reporter/reporterette, who look like they are straight from the pages of a Barbie catalogue, say with enthusiasm that HOORAY! the unemployment rate dropped .2% this month! Then they tell us that the country only lost 300k jobs this month instead of the 400k last month...it's an economic REBOUND! Do you think it even flashes through their minds for a second how the country can lose all those jobs and the unemployment rate drop?...yeah me neither, facts have a hard time burrowing through that much pancake make-up. Stop the government "accounting magic" with the jobs numbers and tell the truth.


Definitely a "Glass half empty" day for me
