#1 Sad that we have to get such news from Iran.

Of course, it's not "news" here.

#2 Yes, thanks to the MSM shills for Obama and the lefty progressives, we get more accurate news from the internet and other sources.

#3 Too many confuse the original First Amendment 'free press' with the technology of the times rather than the intent of 'free flow of information' which today's institutional MSM is abjectly against.

#5 The unemployment rate is BS.

Just because a person runs out of unemployment benefits, it does not mean they have quit looking for work.

Look at the employment ratios in the US. Currently, the employment ratio is at 63% the lowest since the depression.

If someone would do an accurate count, the real unemployment rate is closer to 30%. Heck I know more people out of work than I do people that work. All of us are college educated professionals and we cannot find work.

It is a disgrace, we are in a depression, the growth rate, as stated by the Department of Commerce is less than the rate of inflation, which is someone would pull out a calculator would find the economy is contracting not expanding.

#6 The CIA was 'surprised' by the collapse of the Soviet Union because they were reading all the official reports that the apparatchiks sent up to the bosses telling the bosses what they wanted to hear. Not much difference here either these days.

On the marginally bright side, these functionaries have self identified for the cleaver when it comes time to cut government.
