The Commerce Department data released today on the nation’s Gross Domestic Product — which measures the overall size of the economy — indicate the continuation of a troubling trend for the country’s workers.

It's remarkable that the right-wingers who dominate cable news and talk radio are still complaining about a liberal stranglehold over the media.

Sam Graham-Felsen | October 27th, 2004by SAM GRAHAM-FELSEN [posted online on October 27th, 2004] Has Eminem--the poster child of American disenchantment--become the new face of activism?
