Joe Biden was all geared up to go out last week and boast about the one million jobs the economy had added in April. But then the actual numbers came out, and . . . psych! Only 266,000 new jobs, 73 percent fewer than Biden was planning to brag about!
But not to worry, Joe: The New York Times has got your back!
Appearing on today's Morning Joe, Elisabeth Bumiller, the paper's Washington bureau chief, claimed, in a strangely stumbling statement, that:
"There is a sense that there was a lot of, there was a, the numbers were very, were, were a real fluke. They could be adjusted next month and it could be a very different story."

Pathetic NY Times has Ol’ Joe’s back on bad jobs report.
Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.
“They could be adjusted next month”
No doubt.
Stupid people say stupid things. In this case, they make stupid excuses, so that other stupid people will believe them.
Stupid.
Someday journalists will come out of the trance they're under... and they'll be soooooo ashamed...
Always look for the words "may" or "could" because they are consistent with anything and neither confirm nor deny anything. The ultimate weasel words.
“Someday journalists will come out of the trance they’re under... and they’ll be soooooo ashamed... “
When the SHTF these “journalists” think they will be the last to get eaten.
They are SORELY mistaken.
Get ready for a lot of:
“Unexpectedly......”
“Unexpectedly......”
“Unexpectedly......”
“Unexpectedly......”
Yeah, they might be revised....down. Keep in mind, when the April jobs report came out, the BLS also adjusted the March jobs numbers from 916,000 down to 760,000.
Furthermore, regardless of the fact that the BLS is technically part of the Executive branch, there is a very curious trend to their unemployment/jobs statistics based solely upon whether a Democrat or Republican is in the White House. For example, under Obama ALL monthly jobs statistics would be revised down the following month. In other words, the BLS consistently overestimated the number of jobs created each month under Obama, only to revise the numbers down the following month. Under Trump, the exact opposite occurred. Trump’s jobs numbers would be revised up every month, like clock work.
This same bias in reporting was witnessed in quarterly economic growth numbers published by the Bureau of Economic Analysis. Obama’s quarterly GDP statistics would be revised down a month later, where Trump’s would be revised up. This bias was consistent throughout their presidencies.
So, do not be at all surprised to see the April jobs numbers revised down from 266,000.
Hey! Givem a break. There are no more mean tweets. $50 gas, wit an unbroken sea of illegals from sea to pollution encrusted sea is worth whatever slave encrusted economy was required to create it
I suppose we'll find out the first part of June whether it's a fluke or a trend.
Thanks for the interesting info.
count on it.
Could——Could-—
Ans Kevin Costner COULD call me for a dinner date....
“PATHETIC New York Times Covers for Biden: Bad Jobs Numbers a ‘Real Fluke’”
The MSM covering for Joe? The Fourth Estate has become the Farce Estate.
Also keep in mind that Obama changed the way unemployment numbers are calculated in such a way to make things look better.
“Someday journalists will come out of the trance they’re under... and they’ll be soooooo ashamed...”
You’re overlooking the fact they’re fascists. Did Goebbels come out of his trance?
A real fluke eh? There is about a 1 million person backlog on unemployment applications in California alone. Many people haven’t received any UI money since February.
Funny how everything was working fine when Trump was POTUS. Then Biden gets elected they pass that $1.9 trillion bailout of the states, and voila the state is no longer capable of processing unemployment applications.
Not funny haha funny, but funny in a pathetic ugh kinda way. They wouldn’t be trying to hide the real numbers would they? What with Newsome up for recall and an empty suit as POTUS to cover for and everything...
Ha, ha. An unexpected fluke. Maybe sunspots or flying saucer effects. Can’t be the fearless leader’s exalted commie plans like laying off pipeline workers and fracking employees or locking down places under Fauci’s rules.
And training people to enjoy having federal money given to them at home rather than getting a job.
