Hard to say, but the mainstream media managed to do it:

It took the Department of Labor several months to locate 810,000 new jobs it had overlooked – but network news still hasn’t found them, despite the agency’s report on October 6.

The employment report was full of positive news: unemployment down to 4.6 percent; 51,000 new jobs created in September; job creation revisions of 60,000 for August and 10,000 for July and the piece de resistance: 810,000 more new jobs from March 2005 to March 2006.

The networks barely mentioned any of the news, and none reported the huge revision to the past year’s numbers.

Unbelievable...and yet, given the state of today’s media, all to believable.
