“Now to the economy tonight. Newly revised jobs data showing the jobs market hasn’t been as hot as it seemed. 818,000 fewer jobs were added during the 12 months that ended in March than previously reported. This puts more pressure on the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates, potentially by half a percentage point next month which could, of course, lower car loans, mortgages, and credit card rates.”
The above quote, which was drawn from Jorge Bonilla’s article at newsbusters.org, is last night’s report by ABC World News Tonight’s David Muir, regarding what should be hugely damaging news for the current administration regarding job growth – or, more exactly, job non-growth.
It took all of 19 seconds; a very tiny amount of time given the fact that this knocks over 28% off the originally reported job data…which Democrats have been bragging about all this time.
But that is 19 seconds more than either NBC News or CBS News gave it.
That’s right. a 28% difference between Democrat job claims and reality got next to no reportage on ABC and none at all on NBC and CBS.
And now let’s add in the fact that Joe Biden’s claims of “creating” 15 – 16 million “new jobs” includes about 10 million jobs that came back after the pandemic – which none of the three networks bothers to remind us of when they show video of Biden making that claim.
Anyone who thinks these networks provide neutral political coverage needs his/her head examined.
