Tell Media: Stop Overselling “Blowout” Job Numbers
The Fox News and its affiliates celebrated a so-called “blowout” jobs report — touting 119,000 new jobs in September — while conveniently ignoring or downplaying negative revisions that showed the economy actually lost jobs in August. Such cherry-picked reporting misleads the public and undermines trust in economic coverage. When major outlets present selective data without context, they aren’t providing news — they’re shaping narratives. Journalists and news executives must hold themselves accountable: clearly acknowledge full data sets, note economic caveats, and avoid amplifying political spin. Add your name to demand that media outlets stop overstating job-market strength and start delivering honest, nuanced economic reporting instead.
