- π‘ Newsmax is accused of confidently lying about July's jobs report, calling a catastrophic outcome "good news all around."
- π― The report showed jobs growth collapsed to 73,000, a 33% shortfall from the expected 110,000.
- β οΈ The previous two months were revised downward by a combined 258,000 jobs, the largest revision since early COVID.
- π€₯ Newsmax failed to mention these downward revisions, which are described as inconvenient truths for protecting Trump's image.
Discrepancy in Reporting
- π The unemployment rate ticked up to 4.2% in July.
- π£οΈ Newsmax characterized the report as "mostly in line with expectations" and "good news all around."
- π This contrasts sharply with how they would report similar numbers under a Democratic president, where they would likely scream "depression."
Impact on Viewers and Democrats
- π§ Viewers who don't fact-check are led to believe Trump is a strong jobs creator, despite data to the contrary.
- π The situation is described as "gaslighting in 4K."
- β The challenge for Democrats is to motivate voters who might otherwise not vote, to turn out against this narrative.
- π’ The speaker expresses concern that Democrats are ill-equipped to substantively counter this propaganda.
