In December, the U.S. economy added 252,000 jobs and the unemployment rate declined to 5.6 percent. As usual, you won't be reading about this at CNSNews.com. Instead, you'll hear all about these cherry-picked numbers:
Record 55,807,000 Women Not In Labor Force; Participation Rate Matches 26-Year Low
Labor Force Participation Matches 36-Year Low; 92,898,000 Out of Labor Force
White Unemployment, 4.8% -- Black Unemployment, 10.4%
Only one of the articles mentioned the fact that the unemployment rate dropped to 5.6 percent. None mentioned that 252,000 jobs were created. And the article about black unemployment waited until the fourth paragraph to mention that the 10.4 percent rate of black unemployment in December was a significant drop from November's 11.0 percent, though writer Michael Chapman insisted the rate merely "dropped slightly."
