MarshallTalk is an Internet BLOG that discusses hard to deal with and controversial issues including Race, Politics, Class, Gender, Media, etc. The goal is to debate these issues and try to come up with some practical solutions. We also have weekly and monthly polls on a variety of topics. Marshall is a VERY emotional, direct to the point writer and previous Internet Radio Personality (Hopefully we can do something about that soon!). He really would appreciate your frequent debate/participation.

There is the other side of the coin, on this issue. There are those who are no longer looking for a job because they have successfully started their own businesses and work independently without becoming an employee. They don't count either.
The point is, the main stream media is not being accurate in their reportage. They haven't been for years on end. They won't be, ever. Whether this is through political agenda or simple laziness, trusting the MSM is like a mouse trusting that the cat is a harmless ball of fur.
We have a tool where we can do our own research and find out the truth. It's called the Internet. Sure you gotta be careful with it, but it is a far better tool than the newspaper or TV.
