Are you through yet?

It's called editorial license. Something both left & right wing media practice, but which you seem to know nothing about. Is it really that you are in the nasty habit of purposely targeting conservative news organizations as being not really "actual" because of some kind of hate you have for their right to free speech?

What is your description of an "actual article" Steve? The first article written on a particular subject? Only those written by the Chicago Sun Times? If an article is written by the NY Times is it "actual" too? How about the Houston Cronicle? Where do your perimeters of 'actual' begin and end?

Ohhhhhhhhh. I get it. It's probably all depends on what one's definition of 'actual' is.

Interesting how the left always stoops to levels where a common nincompoop wouldn't go. That behavior has rightfully called the politics of personal destruction. I see you follow the party line.

The simple truth is this.

As found in the actual Newsmax article:

Figures on corporate profits were wildly overstated by Clinton administration statisticians during 1999 and 2000, a government report issued last week reveals, begging the question of whether the feds engaged in the kind of bottom-line book-cooking that has recently seen a number of corporate executives being led away in handcuffs.

As found in the actual Chicago Sun-Times article:

Hidden in the morass of statistics, there is proof that the Clinton administration grossly overestimated the strength of the economy leading up to the 2000 election. Did the federal government join Enron and WorldCom in cooking the books? Through all of President Bill Clinton's last two years in office, the announced level of before-tax profits was at least 10 percent too high--a discrepancy rising close to 30 percent during the last presidential campaign. Most startling, the Commerce Department in 2000 showed the economy on an upswing through most of the election year, while in fact it was declining.

The truth cannot be manipulated no matter how much you wish it so.

Frankly Steve I couldn't care less whether you ever post a message to me again. You wouldn't know reason if it slapped you in the face.
