TVNL Editor's Comments: Saying that the economy is growing while job losses are increasing is like saying that your healthy except for your terminal disease. How do they measure the economy?

If they simply look at totals and averages the results will be misleading. If the averages go up yet the wealth distribution goes down that simply means that the rich are getting richer and more people are becoming poor. Using current evaluation methods can make even the most unbalances failure of an economy appear positive. Don’t let the blanket assessments fool you! Think about it! – Jesse, Editor, TvNewsLIES.org

If you believe that the American corporate media are our greatest enemy let the people know how you feel.
