The "Disappearing" of the Unemployed Continues On The Sunday Political Shows

Last week the GOP in the US Senate again successfully filibustered a bill extending unemployment benefits to 1.7 million laid off American workers. By November, 5 million laid off workers and their families will be denied extended benefits.

Not a single network nightly newscast covered the story the day it happened and not a single mention on the Sunday political shows.
