CNNMoney Caught Changing Report on ‘Green’ Jobs Numbers, Casting Them in More Positive Light

At 7:50 am Friday morning, CNNMoney reported on the embarrassingly small number of jobs the “green” energy industry has contributed to the nation’s workforce. The story was titled “‘Green’ jobs just a small portion of workforce.”

"As Kermit knows, it’s not easy being green,” the story began. “There were only 3.1 million green jobs in the U.S. in 2010.”

Translation: After receiving billions in federal subsidies ($100 billion from the stimulus program alone), “green” jobs account for only 2.4 percent of the nation’s employment.

And there is one thing that is once again highlighted by this article. The main stream media isn't worth the bandwidth it takes up. The statistics it publishes are skewed. The poll results are skewed. The results of elections are skewed. They are actually manipulating the results by blacking out some candidates and drawing additional attention to their own favorites. Biased and crooked. Every last one. The blogs - and not all of them - are the only accurate source of information out there.
