A BIG Amen to that...
A few days ago, a reporter from the Wall Street Journal wrote that 1-in-4 men between the ages of 25-64 were unemployed. When I sent him an e-mail showing how that statement was wrong, including the raw data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics and Census Bureau that refuted the number, all he could say is "well, the data are a fiction, then."
Meanwhile, his story is all over the Internet and now is "common knowledge" for as long as it can be searched for with Google.
