CNN’s article on last week’s jobs report was a negative one, where the article avoided mentioning how many jobs were added to the U.S. economy (209,000 jobs were added, per CNBC), but admitted that the unemployment rate is at a sixteen-year-low.

This is the liberal media’s new narrative: President Barack Obama left a strong economy behind for President Donald Trump to enjoy.

Economics and common sense means less jobs when the minimum wage is hiked: Washington, D.C., is getting a real life lesson in economics as the city moves closer to implementing a $15 per hour minimum wage. During the first six months of 2016, restaurants in D.C. shed 1,400 jobs. That’s a 2.7 percent decline in […]

The article highlighted the criticism from Hillary Clinton of Donald Trump’s economic plan, which Clinton called “regurgitated trickle-down economics of the typical Republican, but worse.” Yet, CBS News did not report how ‘Reaganomics’, as Ronald Reagan’s economic trickle-down theory was nicknamed, actually worked and led to an economic recovery from the Jimmy Carter years.
