The Morning Negligence: Nets Ignore Covering DISASTROUS BLS Jobs Report
NewsBusters ^ | 9/3/2021 | Joseph Vazquez

ABC, CBS and NBC morning news shows ignored an abysmal jobs report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) to further insulate President Joe Biden from bad news.

The BLS reported at 8:30 a.m. Friday that the U.S. economy only added an embarrassingly low 235,000 jobs in August, against an economists’ forecast of 720,000 jobs. That means projections were off by a whopping 485,000 jobs. The Wall Street Journal said that many employers are reporting “difficulty filling job openings, which touched record highs this summer.” ABC’s Good Morning America (GMA), CBS This Morning, NBC’s Today and NBC’s Third Hour of Today just ignored the story altogether as if it didn’t exist, continuing a despicable trend of censoring news that spells trouble for Biden’s agenda.

Biden put a pathetic spin on the bad report by blaming the Delta COVID-19 variant and a “‘continuing pandemic of the unvaccinated,’” according to CNBC. That’s despite the fact that a new Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) study concluded that over 80 percent of Americans were now “protected” from COVID either through vaccination or natural recovery.

I didn’t even know they distorted the news. I don’t watch it any more. Advertisers have to know what is happening. I guess they have endless, deep pockets to keep spending advertising dollars with failing outlets.

And somewhere around 40 million to be fired after refusal of the vaccine.
Also, September 6th, the free stuff train stops. (at least partially)
Also, again, 1.8 million households can be evicted.

And the markets responded by staying flat. If this happened under Trump, big money leftists would have tanked the markets by at least 1%.

Last evening the NBC nightly news didn’t report at all on the Afghanistan situation.

An extra 1.6 million illegals need jobs or will be on welfare.
Add all the unidentified Afghans coming to the country. Many don’t know what a flush toilet is, nor toilet paper.

Stock Market didn’t have a heart attack...for good reason. The problem isn’t a lack of jobs or business activity, there are plenty of both.

The jobs are there and everyone knows it. When the goodies get cut people will go back to work. For now they are enjoying their extended vacations.

Maybe we aren’t paying people enough to sit home and do nothing?
