Well…with the stunning performance of the job market adding 567,000 new jobs and an unemployment rate at 3.4%, the lowest since 1969, my question is “where’s the coverage?” I’ve seen coverage all over today about some damn Chinese balloon that is floating over the US, but maybe two articles about the best economic performance in decades…and with inflation dropping quickly, every person in the US is going to benefit from what the Biden administration is doing to steer this economy…and when you compare the US performance to the rest of the world, we have recovered better from the pandemic than any other country…but no mention of that in the news, either….but you get some asshole repubs wearing AR-15 pins in the House and it appears in every news feed that I read…the media really is broken in this country…geez…

Best jobs number in 52 years…
Well…I wonder how the media is going to spin this one….the numbers for first time unemployment claims came in at the lowest since 1969 last week with only 190,000 people filing…but the media will either ignore it or gin up some fake scandal and spend days reporting on it…like corded earbuds or 350 dollar pots….or the headline will read: “190,000 more people out of work!!!” You get what I’m saying…and I’ve bitched about that a lot lately but it is so frustrating that we are on the verge of the best two year economy in the history of the country if the big bank’s projections are correct…and yet people still think that the economy sucks really bad even though they are doing okay…and child poverty is down by 40%, and wages for the lower third of workers are up by 13% this year and are on track to rise more next year…and more people are changing jobs than ever before…and yet, crickets from the media…if the idiot trump had done even one of the many, many things that Biden has done to help the people, they would have run article after article about it and called it a miracle….but no, it’s like the media want Biden to fail or to make it look like he failed…we know the repubs want more people to die from the virus to make Biden look bad, but the media is supposed to be objective and report the news…and the economic numbers we’re seeing are good news…just no one knows it yet…geez…
