[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are lies, damned lies and statistics. Whether or not something is a "lie" depends upon the approach you take to the facts.[b] Prime example, our unemployment statistics are manipulated to look better than they are by not counting those who have quit looking for work. [/b] You can cite either number and still have stated the facts--one is the unemployment statistic and the other is the real unemployment statistic. Neither answer is wrong it is just a different spin.[/quote] Except... that is how unemployment statistics have been counted for a VERY LONG TIME. When you are taking the generally accepted approach it's not "spin," it's spin when someone decides that the generally accepted approach is not accurate because they don't like the guy in office, not because they are looking for a more accurate figure.
