It would be nice if we were moving in the right direction but contrary to some claims, that doesn't yet appear to be the case.
Financial Sense posted:

In the last year, the civilian population rose by 1,695,000. Yet the labor force only rose by 274,000. Those not in the labor force rose by 1,421,000.

In December, the Civilian Labor Force dropped by 50,000.

In December, those "Not in Labor Force" rose by a whopping 194,000, In November, those "Not in Labor Force" rose by a staggering 290,000. If you are not in the labor force, you are not counted as unemployed.

Were it not for people dropping out of the labor force, the unemployment rate would be well over 11%.


Continues with a lot more data.

so levgre is pointing out fox has crap graphics...OFN

are we going to next be told that rasmussen polls were acceptable here?

and your first pic, the graph is just wrong...the actual number is correct at 8.6.
the god one, was based on criticism of Bush referencing God in speeches.

the rest, just pis poor editing department...BUT as an added bonus, draws people in that are outraged and/or curious of their ineptness, you know, what one could simply call RATINGS!

besides, it's not like the others have never had typo's...MSNBC ran a thing criticizing using Usama which Fox based off of the FBI.

These were just quick picture examples from one URL. If I took the time I could drag up all horrible reporting/editorials in FOX New's past. It's not just what they show but what they say. FOX news is a joke..

CNN/MSNBC have almost no graphical/broadcast errors compared to FOX news... the reason being, FOX news does it purposefully.

And in the manipulated jobs graph, sure they give themselves an "out" by having the correct number. But a graph is a picture of data, the line/curve is the whole point. Propaganda is not acceptable last time I checked, manipulating the appearance of graphs like that is by definition propaganda.

like i said above...it's the ratings.
if the voters matched the ratings we would not have Obama in office...it's not just republicans that watch FoxNews...
i would never know what was on FoxNews if it wasn't for liberal rage at what is on.

i actually dont know a single person that watches them...but just as you say that Fox has horrid editorials, MSNBC is just as bad.
i cant say anything on CNN, they seem to be fine, but MSNBC has clowns just as bad as Fox.
on second thought, Anderson Cooper gets on some really pathetic rants...i especially like when he blasts Fox while he collects a paycheck from them.

the biggest difference with the errors though, is the others will correct and also apologize...but again...shock factor wins the entertainment game, and really, that is what these channels really are.

for the graph, what stood out to me was the number...not the line you have to trace across.
also some of the bash fox pics have been found doctored...why they have i do not know, the have an abundance of ammo!

Fox news is for rejects, which is why the rwn's watch it.

That being said, yes, the economy is getting better and will continue to do so. Its a business cycle.
