WRONG: CNN Reports 7.9% Unemployment Is Highest Before Election, But It Ties 2012
NewsBusters ^ | 10/2/2020 | Joseph Vazquez

CNN’s partisanship and Trump-loathing overrode journalism on the last Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) jobs report before Election Day.

When the BLS put out its report showing unemployment had dipped below expectations to 7.9 percent in September from 8.4 percent in August, CNN rushed out a Tweet laced with propaganda: “JUST IN: The US added 661,000 jobs in September, and unemployment fell to 7.9%. The rate has never been this high going into an election.”

This is false. In the last BLS jobs report released November 2, just before the November 6, 2012 election, just before Barack Obama was re-elected, The New York Times reported that “The unemployment rate ticked up slightly to 7.9 percent in October, from 7.8 percent in September.”

I’d love for Dom Deluise to walk onto the show and yell in the host’s ear with a loud speaker..”WRONG!!”

:)

And then call them a bunch of sissy Marys :)

"The rate has never been this high going into an election.”

1936 -- 16.9
1940 -- 14.6
2012 -- 7.9

I don’t think I’d like to see Dom DeLuise walk at all, given that he’s been dead since 2009. (Liked that scene, though.)

I wonder if they even looked for numbers? They probably just decided to scream the equivalent of “worst economy ever” because they thought it sounded cool and might help Joe.

It’s way higher than that in NYS.

But that is NOT Trump’s fault.

Forgive me. Next time I’ll say “I know the person i’m mentioning is dead, but for those of you that live under a rock, I’m telling you now” :)

Sure, in the midst of a leftist-hyped flu panic, during which the SOBs did everything in they could to crash the economy and satisfy their lust for power.

Boy is she tough.

It’s awesome.

I could never come close to doing that job.

Too thin skinned. I’d run into the reporter pool and start swinging :)

What about 1980. Maybe 1992.
