These articles are illustrative of the media's manipulation of information.  The Economic Times article is long, but worth the read.

Particularly revealing was the last paragraph in the Economic Times article:

Other evidence of this was a thread yesterday which documents that in the early 90's CNN called a 5.6 unemployment rate "extremely low," but are now calling the same rate an "economic drag."
