    When the report came out, it revealed that the unemployment rate was 13.3 percent and that the resurgent economy had begun to shrug off coronavirus-induced lockdowns as employment rose by 2.5 million jobs.

      As Friday dawned, The Washington Post warned its readers that it was going to be a bad day.
      Well, it was, but not quite the way the Post expected.

      “Grim milestone to be reached as May unemployment rate nears 20 percent,” the Post tweeted in a since-deleted message, presaging the Department of Labor’s report on unemployment for May, according to Fox News.
      Oops.
      When the report came out, it revealed that the unemployment rate was 13.3 percent and that the resurgent economy had begun to shrug off coronavirus-induced lockdowns as employment rose by 2.5 million jobs.

      The Post dismissed the error as part and parcel of the world of modern journalism.
      “Ahead of the release of today’s jobs report, we published a story reflecting how many economists expected the country to reach an unemployment milestone. That story was then updated when the jobs data was released,” a Post representative told Fox.

      SO IN ORDER TO 'TRY' AND SHAME THE POTUS..THEY JUMPED THE GUN AND RELEASED FAKE NEWS!!!!



      The Post never actually said it got it wrong, but included a message on Twitter saying, “An earlier version of this tweet was deleted because it carried a headline that had not been updated after the release of today’s unemployment numbers. This tweet is correct.”
      Many poked fun at the Post for its mistake — a spoke-too-soon presumption reminiscent of the Chicago Daily Tribune’s infamous “Dewey Defeats Truman” headline that wrongly “reported” the results of the 1948 presidential election.

      Trump talked about the economy’s better-than-expected performance during an appearance at Puritan Medical Products in Guilford, Maine, according to a White House media pool report.
      “Economists forecast that the unemployment rate, as I said, would be about 19 percent, and they were hoping for 20 percent, the opponents of ours. They’d rather have things be bad so they can try and win an election. So they were hoping it would be 20 percent. Instead, it’s 13 percent. That was good. That — we made up a lot of time, a lot of distance. It’s really great,” Trump said.
      “Even I was surprised by this one. This was better than I thought. I thought it would be OK but I didn’t know this.”
      Democratic Party and the mainstream media, Trump said that the United States is currently in a period he calls “transition to greatness.”
      “And our stock market is booming, and our jobs are booming. And, you know, you just have to look at a place like this. You just have to get off the plane and ride here, and you see the spirit of Maine and other places — other places. It’s amazing. It’s amazing,” Trump said.
      “So we absolutely shattered expectations. And this is the largest monthly jobs increase in American history. American — think of that: That’s a long time, right? By far. I think it’s more than double or about double of what our highest was before,” Trump said.
      Trump said that even though lockdowns imposed to respond to the coronavirus had severe economic consequences, the economy will bounce back.

      “I built it once, now I’m building it again,” Trump said. “We had to close it down. We did the right thing. We closed it down and we saved millions of lives.”
      Trump was upbeat about the future.
      “[T]his next year will be better, I think, than any year we’re ever had. That’s how I feel about it,” Trump said.
      “America’s economic comeback has begun. The next year is set to be a year, and — I remember I said it, but it’s going to be an amazing year,” he said.

      If the economy continues its turnaround, carrying Trump to re-election in November, it will be the best last laugh of all.
      And it will be a very bad day for the editors of the anti-Trump Washington Post.

              The New York Times finally confessed the one truth conservatives always suspected

              The New York Times is among the many institutions in America engulfed in chaos.
              But on Thursday, the paper finally broke.
              And The New York Times finally confessed the one truth conservatives always suspected.

              Arkansas Senator Tom Cotton published an op-ed in The Times calling on the President to invoke the 1807 Insurrection Act to deploy the military to American cities to put down the left-wing insurrection looting businesses and starting fires in the streets.
              The TimesThe TimesThe Times wrote.

                Days After Censoring Riot Tweet, Twitter Removes Trump's Video Tribute to George Floyd

                Donald J. Trump glorifying violence


                Trump responded by signing an executive order targeting social media companies for unfairly censoring certain users.
                Last year, Twitter also removed a Trump tweet featuring a Nickelback music video clip that took aim at former Vice President Joe Biden, after receiving copyright complaints.

                The Associated Press contributed to this report.

                  You seem to copy and paste a lot of "news" articles, yet none of them are accompanied by source information, or a link to the original article. For all we know these articles coming from known fake news or parody sites.

                  Being a copier tech, you should already know that reprinting someones else copyrighted works can be illegal. At the very least, you should be giving credit to the copyright owner in your posts.

                        No need to get snippy. I never stated who I was referring to, though there is a missing word in my post so I can see how it would appear that I was referring to you. My first line should have started, "You all seem to...". When I posted that, I had read a good chunk of the thread, and you weren't the only one I saw doing it. Apparently you just happened to be the last poster in the thread when I replied from the bottom of page 13.

                        My statement applies to anybody copying an entire news article without a reference to back it up. A huge chunk of the "news" that's posted on the internet these days is bogus. Without a reference to indicate that it came from a source that can be trusted, your efforts to share it are fruitless.

                        Life is busy and I don't have time to hunt down every article before I can reliably believe that what is being shared has at least some semblance of reality to it. It's just my opinion, but if an article doesn't have a point of reference, I don't even bother to read it. I'm not looking to fill my head with fake news, the real news is bad enough as it is.

                          Just tell him you do it's because almost all of what you post as "news" comes from one or another of the flaky sites you follow and is simply made up.

                            I think the real ugliness of the media is becoming apparent, it tried to terrify us with China19 and has now helped deliver a greater worldwide problem. People of all races should see it for what it really is. They are trying to create a division where one did not previously exist.

                                Google bans website ZeroHedge from its ad platform over comments on protest articles - NBC

                                Google has banned ZeroHedge, a far-right website that often traffics in conspiracy theories, from its advertising platform over policy violations found in the comments section of stories about recent Black Lives Matter protests.
                                Google also issued a warning on Tuesday to The Federalist over comments on articles related to recent protests.
                                A Google spokesperson said in an email on Monday that it demonetized the websites after determining they violated its policies on content related to race.

                                After publication of this story, Google backtracked Tuesday, clarifying that The Federalist had been warned about policy violations but still had time to address them. (NBC news was pimping this story after The federalist reported on some NBC goings-ons).

                                Now google and NBC are under fire from the Feds and other Senators/ public people.
