Bizarre Politics Reports:
This follows Lets make a Deal at The Rationale . Com . It's about the editorial boards of news outlets that scuplture the news according to their view of the world.

The Kaleidoscoping of news and issues
A Kaleidoscope is a device containing loose bits of different colored glass between two flat plates and two plane mirrors so placed that changes of positions of the bits of glass are reflected in an endless variety of patterns.
This is how our news is delivered to us by major news media outlets.
The latest device is PolitiFact which newspaper use to rate the truth. They call it the Truth-O-Meter. Supposedly, readers are able to get the objective truth about news and issues especially judging what our political leaders put out as information.
I am not an amateur in scoping out things. I was part of the computer age from the beginning when the phrase - garbage in and garbage out- was used frequently to gage computer input of information. The computer is actually a dumb instrument that can only process data according to what is inputted and if this input is bad, all results will reflect this in the output of information.
I took logic and metaphysics in college and this led me to debugging new operating systems in large mainframe computers. My logic background helped me to check off the flow of data as being good or bad. This saved alot of time for the programmers in designing programs. They did not have to go back everytime to the core flow chart when the logic in their programs failed them.
After college I was a personnel and insurance investigator and also became a contract insurance investigator later on. I had to quit this pursuit because there was just not enough resources in any project to come to conclusions without doubt about their veracity. I could not put people destinies in jeophardy because of not being able to confirm by results thoroughly.
However this all led me to becoming a trouble shooter supplyer to major corporations who were primarily in computer manufacturing. I study all kinds of documentation in the process to fit the components to the job. I was sought out as a consultant nationally and even as far as China. The funny thing about this that there was no much data to study and take in that it was impossible to input it all into a computer. If I were to do this, it would eventually be the only thing I was doing all day. So, I had piles of papers and references all around me in a mental file categories.
I also wrote about error recovery codes in computer storage devices. This came after I helped jump start a cat scan manufacturing company. They were ready to deliver their first cat scan machine but found out that they could not trust the operation of their disk storage devices where there were at least about thirty correctable errors on one disk storage device. It would take them a year to rewrite their operating systems to cover the situation. I found a manufacturer who made a 100 percent error free device for them and they were able to start delivery of their first machines.
So when I see things like PoliticFacts that supposedly sort out the facts, I question the process in its application.
The worst part is where a core of a problem is dismissed for minute detail that does not change the major point of the event. I also found out that editorial boards of newspapers have their own world view of things and automatically injected them in their analysis. The weakest link are the sources they applied in coming to a conclusion of what some leader states as facts. Most of the time, the sources were questionable for a variety of reasons.
Not many stats match up with the real world of the streets and the way people are living out their trials, losses and lives in a contradictory global economic arena. One of the few times I agree with a PoliticFact conclusion was when the reporter put in a disclaimer about how their sources interpret their findings. This happens especially in economic measurements where most everyone has a different set of stats.
A economic professor once told me that there is no such thing as a bad or good economy. There are only economic measurement that can point you in certain directions but can not confirm results. As we know this is not the way things are generally reported and most of the stats are given to prove this or that as the objective truth.
The worst part of any reporting is when things are left out of the process.
Things like free trade are terms that are branded to fit a situation but free trade is not trade as historically defined and practiced. Somehow it has is input that changed to include outsourcing and insourcing of jobs under a core issues where free trade is about moving production from place to place for the sake of cheaper labor. This is not really trade is it.
PolitFacts ignores something like free trade not really being trade. As an example they rate someone like Senator Portman as being right about free trade and citing him as an expert because he was President Bush's trade representative. I have yet to see where Portman or PolitiFact plugs in the trade deficit as a necessary economic statistic. It is also obvious that the unemployment rate reporting is severly flawed and certainly does compare the way the data was collected years ago. For example, only about 38 percent of all Americans qualify for unemployment insurance. This means about 62 percent are missing in action from any kind of reporting. So a majority of our workers are living in some kind of limbo that goes unreported. However this is ignored in the massaging of any of the data PoliFacts uses.
The core issue of our times is dismissed. It is the fact that our economies based on making money on money instead of making or growing things are burning out. Production as been separated from investment with both taking their own course in a parallel fashion but seemingly never intersecting to give us any good input or output about what caused the economic crisis and why this is driving us to a place no one wants to go.
As the old movie saying goes - What we got is a lack of communication.
What we got is a Kaleidoscope of news and information depending on what pattern of news is selected as real.
