Media Disappointedly Reports Good News Today

I am so used to seeing negative news headlines when it comes to the dishonest media reporting on Trump that I did a double-tale this morning at this 4-3-26 Newser headline. I wonder how much arm-twisting, teeth-gnashing, and liberal threats to quit went into this decision to actually report good news.

I had seen this Sasha Stone column yesterday, which just vindicated my own opinion of the mainstream media. And there's a joke about how the media would still find something critical to say even if Trump were to cure cancer.

Jobs Report Is Much Better Than Expected 

Employers added 178K new jobs last month, triple what economists had predicted  

"American employers added a surprisingly strong 178,000 new jobs last month, rebounding from a dismal February. And the unemployment rate dipped to 4.3%. The Labor Department reported Friday that hiring marked a rebound from the loss of 133,000 jobs in February, the AP reports. The February loss was revised up from 92,000. The job gains were about three times what economists had forecast. The unemployment rate was down from 4.4% in February. Economists polled by the Wall Street Journal had expected the Labor Department to report that companies, government agencies, and nonprofits added only around 60,000 jobs last month."
