It's certainly not objective journalism, that's for sure. You have to be vigilant and have a filter because there are things reported that are worth noting.
For example, it was said in the one article:
"One place the economy is showing a weakness is the labor market. January had a blowout jobs report, adding 353,000 jobs to the economy. But Hollenhorst noted that if you scratch beneath the surface, the number of hours worked is falling, the number of full-time workers has decreased, and sectors such as the restaurant industry have stalled on hiring."
Let's presume that's true, or at least 80% true. That changes all the hype around "adding jobs".
We all know, it's easy to lie and deceive with data and stats. The gov and the economy is no exception.
