Fox News buries the jobs numbers, again By DYLAN BYERS \| 7/3/14 10:23 AM EDT We won't do the screen shots this time, but per usual FoxNews.com is the one major news site downplaying Thursday's positive employment report. CNN, MSNBC, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and The Washington Post are all leading their sites with the news (in large fonts, no less). Fox News has it buried in fine print on a sidebar. It's hard to argue that such a decision is a matter of unbiased editorial judgment. Fox News is all-too-eager to hit Obama when the jobs numbers fall short of expectations, and their on-air personalities often point out that jobs and the economy are the most important issues to American voters. For the record: the economy added 288,000 jobs in June while the unemployment rate dropped to 6.1 percent, per the Labor Department. Analysts had expected job growth of about 215,000, according to a Bloomberg survey of economists. politico.com
