Good economic news is never bad enough for the liberal media.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics recently released an impressive report on job growth in July. Specifically, “Total non-farm payroll employment rose by 1.8 million in July, and the unemployment rate fell to 10.2 percent.” In context, economists had forecast a 1.48 million job increase and the unemployment rate to hover at 10.6 percent, according to CNBC. That means predictions were off by roughly 320,000 jobs. CNBC’s headline read: “Payrolls increase by nearly 1.8 million, topping expectations despite coronavirus resurgence.”
Instead of giving the American people straight reporting on the good news, multiple liberal outlets swatted down the significantly better-than-expected news and put negative spin on it.
CNN Business ran a negative story headlined, “US economy added 1.8 million jobs in July but still down nearly 13 million jobs during the pandemic.” That story was published just 28 minutes after the BLS report was released at 8:30 a.m., suggesting that CNN already knew how it was going to spin the BLS report before it was even released.
