AP article on Jobs Report/Numbers

Reading it, all of the analytical data seems to point to the economy doing well currently with better results in terms of employment, jobs addition, and wage growth than was expected/predicted last month.

However, I couldn’t help but feel like the author wanted me to think the economy wasn’t doing well, or may not do well moving forward as long as the policies Trump is championing keep being implemented.

I just find it interesting most data says things are good, but journalists’ feelings say things are bad.

That's journalism in a nutshell. Facts are secondary to personal sensibilities.

It’s always about “making a difference”.

You could have a story about how it rained yesterday and these assholes would start talking about how it is the government’s responsibility to control the weather.

The left are ruled by their feelings.

We are fueled by facts.

NYT article

Check out this one I like this line “ the question for voters will be which matters more: plentiful jobs, or big gains in pay”

If the data was the other way they would say “ pay raises for the rich but not enough job for working class”

Trump waved that wand and they are pissed.

Remember, the "new normal" was supposed to be what Obama ushered in.

This wasn't supposed to happen, so they have to lie. This is what happens when you cater to the stupid.

And the fact is not only are more people employed than ever before, the wage gains on a percentage basis are better for the lower tiers, and the job gains are for hispanics and blacks. A rising sea does raise all boats.

For the dems, when the tide goes out we see clearly who is swimming without trunks.

The problem is that the editors no longer force reporters to be either journalists or opinion writers. The journalism departments in every school is ran by communist and that has corrupted everything.
The greatest thing that could happen for America, which would be bad for college football, is all classes online, far away from liberal corruption.

College football is on life support thanks to the current push to start paying players, unionize them, etc.

It’s going to kill the current football system and take down most of other college athletics with it, with the possible exception of basketball, and everyone will blame the Nick Sabans instead of themselves.

You also have to keep in mind WAFB are JBE boot lickers too.

They know he is destroying the LA economy, so the goal is to tell your stupid Dem voters that, even though the economy everywhere else is getting better, LA is really on the right track with our already failed policies.

Stupid people who don't pay taxes eat shite like that up.

The economy is slowing, but not at anything close to the rate many of the naysayers have been trying to portray.
Remember the "recession" that was absotively, posolutely just a day away during the summer? This is just a lesser version of that.
