Unfair and Non-Balanced; Fox News Says "FEAR the 99ers, Unemployed"
Source: Reach Out Job Search

Do you believe that the unemployed are to be feared? Well, if you are a commentator, producer or talking head panelist on Fox News, views portraying America’s unemployment job seekers as violent, gun-carrying crazies, are very appropriate and necessary.

On November 3, two 99er unemployed advocates Wendy Ashley - moderator of Unemployment States of America grass-root group and Rhonda Taylor-a tireless unemployment activist, were guests on the Fox News “Follow the Money” program hosted by Eric Bolling.

On the "Reach Out Job Search Radio Show" November 4, host Monica Ross-Williams spoke to Ms. Ashley and Taylor about their appearance on the program. Originally, both ladies were told by a Fox News producer that the topic of the appearance would be regarding the recent story surrounding the state of Indiana hiring armed guards to protect unemployment offices, if federal extended jobless benefits expire on November 30.

Instead of staying on the agreed upon topic manner, Follow the Money host Eric Bolling took a flying leap within the introduction of the interview

1. Goal of right wing is to create a violent America ... "go get your gun" ... "fear your neighbor" ...
I'm sure elites do have something to fear from the unemployed --

if anyone would bother to try to organize them! Maybe then we'd have

some real pressure on Congress to do something about creating jobs in America --

and overturning the trade agreements.

50,000 manufacturing plants have closed over the last 10 years in America!!

2. Union of the Unemployed

No one else cares about the jobless. Not the government or private business.

(I've been out of work for 21 months. I don't own a gun.)

4. Presume Faux didn't suggest the answer was to CREATE JOBS .... ????
Overall 17% unemployment according to Bernie Sanders about two months ago -- ?

With long term employed number goes from 22 million to 25 million!!

That's a lot of intelligence, humanpower, experience to be idling in America!

If we're not going to create jobs, then we need to turn this into a movement to

move Congress to end unemployment in America beginning with overuturning the trade

agreements. Btw, isn't Obama in India working on a new one??? Yikes!!!


I'm also sick of everyone talking about the need for people to FIND jobs!

That a load of crap. What we need is Congress and president to begin to create jobs.

THEN the unemployed can FIND them!!!


:)
