Covering for Biden? NPR Host Asks RIDICULOUS Question on Awful April Jobs Report

A National Public Radio host tried to spin the atrocious April jobs report numbers by accusing GOP governors of pushing people to go back to work when jobs aren’t available. Fact-check: Millions of jobs were available.

NPR’s All Things Considered weekend host Michel Martin conducted an interview headlined, “Conservative Economist Blames High Unemployment On 'Richer' Benefits.” While interviewing American Action Forum President Douglas Holtz-Eakin, Martin stated: “Well, you know, the jobs figures came out, the unemployment figures came out last week. And many people were shocked.” She then pivoted to attack GOP governors with a bonkers angle: “The economy only added about 266,000 jobs when many, many more were expected. Analysts thought as many as a million could have been added. Are you — are these governors pushing people to go back to jobs that don't exist yet?”

The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reported recently that the number of “job openings” in the U.S. “reached a series high of 8.1 million on the last business day of March.”

Hello Ms. Martin. How does it feel to personify Fake News? Have you no conscience or sense of personal integrity? In some neighborhoods you might be called a ho! Does that carry no weight with you at all?

That my tax dollars support your, PBS/NPR/CPB, duplication of the LEFTist media causes my teeth to grind!

This was not spin, this was low I.Q. She doesn’t understand the difference between the jobs report and the BLS statistics.

I would even be willing to entertain the notion that Michel probably didn’t know there was such a thing as the BLS “job openings” report.
