I like the “but not enough to change perceptions that the labor market was strengthening” line right behind it, though.
These people will say anything to get Dear Reader elected again.
MSNBC where bad economic news is always “unexpected” yet to us is always expected to be labeled unxpected.
It truly is disgusting, isn't it? He can do no wrong in the eyes of the press. They are a disgrace to the profession.
There, fixed it. A little early to know any one's perceptions.
Initial Claims Miss Expectations, Rise For Third Consecutive Week For First Time Since August 2010
I can't drink any more!
And if it was a Republican in office right now, the headline would be:
Due to antiquated right-wing economic policies, unemployment claims rose by 8,000 this week, as expected.
RECOVERY!!!!
oh...
wait....
unexpectedly
Isn’t it racist to notice anything that would negatively impact the Obama administration? < / sarc, as if needed >
If they give some sort of award for “Non-sequitur Headline of the Year”, PMSNBC has just won it.
Polishing turds is a nasty job but MSNBC seems to relish it.
Also the 4 week avg is quite a bit lower...what will they say next week when the good week rolls off? The 5 week average is what really matters?
Also I like that they say “NEAR” a 4 year low. What what is it?
Jobless claims rise, but labor market HEELING... to liberals demands that it improve anyway
Am I tarded or does this sound ridiculous to everyone?
“””Despite the rise in claims last week, labor market conditions are improving and the government is expected to report on Friday that the economy had a third straight month of solid job gains in February.””””
Talk about polishing a turd.
That is not urine on your leg, it is raining.
A headline straight out of “1984.”

labor dept is full of career Democrats. Michael Barone said a few years ago that upwards of 90% of all govt employees in Washington were Democrats... Need I say more
MSNBC in 1935: "The Dust Bowl storms continued into their 27th month, but not enough to change perceptions that the drought was ending."
MSNBC in 1945: "The two nuclear weapons convinced Japan to surrender, but not enough to change perceptions that the War in the Pacific was ending."
MSNBC actually has negative-credibility.
....and the chocolate ration has been increased from 20 grams to 18 grams.
all of your perception are belong to us.
In other news, gas prices gave me a reach-around the other day.
“Unexpected” has changed to “Seasonal”
If MSDNC is talking about government jobs, they the last half is probably technically correct.
“I like the “but not enough to change perceptions that the labor market was strengthening” line right behind it, though.’
Title should be: Jobless claims rise, but not enough to change liberal perceptions that Obama is the best POTUS ever.
Recovery? It will be completed when nobody has any weeks left to file for. Then unemployment will be close to zero. What a claim obie can make then huh? My wife is no longer on the books since she quit filing so she must be employed right? How can people keep accepting this crap? Ooops! I forgot. Promises of green jobs must be the cure all. LOL! I think that means envy of those that actually succeed in life which apparently is now a sin of the worst kind. Punishable by higher taxation.
The number of Americans filing new claims for jobless benefits rose last week, a government report showed on Thursday, but not enough to change perceptions that the labor market was strengthening.
Isn’t that the equivalent of saying a girl is just a little bit pregnant? (i.e. makes no sense to the point of being untrue?
Duncan Hunter on FOX saying, if you factor in everything, the real unemployment number is 10%. He proposing a bill to get the ‘real numbers’ with the people that have given up looking for work factored in. Also, he said there are many people who have gone from their long term good job with good pay, etc, who were laid off and are now working part time just to survive. How do you factor them in? What a mess with this anti-capitalist, anti-small business potus. November 6, 2012 America!
“Jobless claims rise, but labor market healing”
“Fake but Accurate”
I’m sure msnbc would have the exact same headline if a Republican was in office, lmao.
This must be what its like to be on a bad acid trip...only it doesn’t appear to be subsiding.
but not enough to change perceptions that the labor market was strengthening........................................... Sure! The talking points from the “Ministry of Propaganda”. We need a radio station that has a clock ticking tick tock and a voice over saying: “Every 7 seconds, another American is out of work.”.
Somehow this story from MSNBC reminds me of an old spoof TV ad from MADtv that touted the preposterous advertising claim of “Spishak Cholestra - 10% less anal leakage”.
The Obama Administration is bringing us new jobless claims that feature “10% less anal leakage”, and laughably, MSNBC wants us all to know that despite what you think, that little inconvenient factoid means that the outlook for the economy is bright and getting better all the time (all hail the mighty Obama).
Only in Obamaland! Up is down dontja know??
Today Rush commented on this story early in his program.
Exactly.
All politics is local (and personal). When the local news is deluged with reports of layoffs, closures, etc., and when people in one's immediate circle are suffering the actual affects of Obamanomics, the Big Lie loses its effectiveness.
That economic ship will sail any day now!
Nothing but propaganda 24x7 between now and election day.

With that pic, I couldn’t help but be reminded of that joke, “Why are camels called ‘ships of the desert?’”
