Although Friday's jobs report was generally considered good news for President Obama, on Fox News, it was portrayed as good news for Mitt Romney,
As Think Progress noted:
As the numbers came out at 8:30 AM, Fox — along with several other news networks — ran a misleading chyron displaying the small increase in the unemployment rate, without mentioning the growth in raw jobs or explaining that the rate ticked up because October’s job gains pulled more than half a million people into the labor force. By 9:00 AM, anchor Stuart Varney analyzed the political impact of the report and predicted that Romney would benefit from the administration’s economic recovery...
Indeed, Fox’s analysis closely mirrored Romney’s, who claimed that “Today’s increase in the unemployment rate is a sad reminder that the economy is at a virtual standstill.” 5.4 million private sector jobs have been created under Obama’s presidency.
See!!!! Jest havin’ a White Guy makin’ a run fer tha White House makes fer a better, more employed ’Merica!!!!!!!!
You hit that one right on the head! I would complete it with “… but blame others for anything bad that happens.”
I don’t think they did well in math class.
- the ACA being upheld by the Supreme Court
- the response to Hurricane Sandy
- the jobs report
I guess as long you don’t give credit to the black guy with the funny name — ’specially this close to the election . . .
