From Atrios Wednesday:
"For nearly two years, Coleman says she has filed an average of 30 job applications a day, but remains jobless."
So, and Ned doesn't wish to seem untrusting or heartless, a 58 year old woman says she applied for 30 jobs a day for almost 2 years? ON what planet? According to Ned's calculations, that would be around 2,000 jobs. And of course the media accepted this without any questioning, or color and texture.
In our neck of the woods, there aren't 30 new jobs a month, let alone a day.
Ned would like to caution all reputable news outlets to at least ask for some documentation before publishing such an outlandish story.
