Jobless claims fall to a 52 year low. I suspect this will just be a side-line mention from the MSM

though, because it is good news since the Democrats have taken over the WH and Congress

1. Last week they said November job growth was "sluggish"

While completely ignoring the fact it is “sluggish” because almost everyone looking for a job has one!!!

The media is despicable.

2. And the market is at an old time high too.

BTW I doubt this will even make the media.

3. From Google News:

The data were released at 8:30.

Emily McCormick had her story written yesterday afternoon. All she had to do was change a few numbers. She updated her story and had it out the door at 8:31.

The OP showed up in LBN at 8:32.

The story is there if you want it.

4. of course, but I wonder how much the visual and audio medium outlets headlined this

5. All the sources I cite are online. The story will be in tomorrow's

print editions of the national newspapers.

As for radio and TV, I expect that the news will rate one or two sentences on tonight's national TV news on the three commercial networks and maybe a bit more on PBS.

My local all-news radio station, WTOP, will cover the news twice an hour. They get CBS Radio news on the top of the hour. That broadcast should mention it. Bloomberg radio will have it.

In the middle of the country? No broadband access? I don't know what listeners do. Hear about how they're going to hell, catch up on the latest conspiracy theories, or listen to someone chant "let's go, Brandon." Beats me.

Thanks for the thread.

Update: there was no mention of the report on the truncated version of the hourly CBS Radio news carried by WTOP.

Admittedly, it is one of those things that you have to go out of your way to find.
