Headline Writers: Deja Vu All Over Again

I've posted this so many times, it's become predictable.

Today's headline: "Unemployment Rate Falls in 39 States in June"

Source: AP (Associated Press)

First line of story: The unemployment rate fell in most states in June, mainly because more people gave up searching for work and were no longer counted.

According to the story: things have either stayed the same or gotten worse, depending on one's perspective, but certainly "unemployment" hasn't fallen in 39 states. 

I expect to see this headline a month from now, again.

No wonder folks are leaving mainstream media and going to the internet, and the Drudge Report.
