The NYT can just be so shitty & petty

[Nevilledog]

Bunch of knobs.

[elleng]

1. Petty complaint.

[Nevilledog]

3. Like 6.5 million new jobs in a year before 1939 wasn't an impossibility.

[Walleye]

6. Yeah that's what I was trying to say

[Nevilledog]

7. It was a stupid fact check. I think it's petty to take something so positive & label it like this.

This the shitty & petty

[Walleye]

10. If that's all they could pick on, then we're going to have to assume the rest was 100% true

[PatSeg]

20. Yeah, super petty

[Lovie777]

2. 1939 and? . . .

Biden is correct on the numbers . .. . ..

[Nevilledog]

5. They're labeling it as Partially True

[Walleye]

4. So what, it could still be a true statement, probably is

It’s a records weren’t kept before then, they can’t prove it isn’t true

[DURHAM D]

8. Made themselves look stupid.

[The Roux Comes First]

9. When Did the Times Hire Republican Propagandists as Fact-checkers?

Oops, never mind. I forgot those earlier episodes.

The Sleazy Lady strikes again!

[RockRaven]

11. NYT editorial staff are fucking shitbags.

They have some good investigative journos, and foreign coverage and arts which few papers can even afford anymore, and puzzles 'n shit, but anything public-facing like headline writing and story placement and editorial page and social media seems to be populated by humanoid garbage piles.

[mzmolly]

12. Is the NYT suggesting more jobs were created

pre 1939?

[Hoyt]

13. That's unfair. I do think it's tough to compare 2021 growth after pandemic year.

Think we need to concentrate on touting better pay, etc.

[uponit7771]

22. That growth wasn't a forgone conclusion, it's Biden admins leadership that got us to that number

... and couldn't imagine if a GQP was in we'd be anywhere near that by now.

Putin's Whore killed hundreds of thousands of Americans with his lies about the bugs lethality.

[Diablo del sol]

23. Bullshit

Repukes don't fucking care if they flat out lie.

What Biden claimed was true. Technically your argument has some merit, but we are way past playing nice with those Mother Fuckers.

DONT EVER ALLOW ONE FUCKING INCH WITH THESE ASSHOLES.

[Hoyt]

24. I'm for truth and facts, no matter where they fall.

[BeyondGeography]

14. "Shitty and petty"

I think that’s what Peter Baker calls his two dogs.

[LT Barclay]

15. And pre-1939 if there were better numbers than that it would probably be during FDR's

presidency and I’m sure they really didn’t intend to bring that up.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

16. That's it?

I'd say given population the number is probably accurate

[DemocraticPatriot]

17. "only in 1939" ?????

wtf

"only" nearly a century ago...

[GregariousGroundhog]

18. Biden's record of 6.5 million jobs probably approaches what FDR did with the New Deal.

In absolute numbers, Biden probably did create more jobs than FDR. In terms of percentage of population employed though, I suspect FDR has Biden beat.

That said, I'm not going to scoff at the jobs creation in Biden's first year. Joe has done a hell of a job.

[gratuitous]

19. This the same New York Times that couldn't call a lie a lie during the last administration?

Unimpressed.

[canetoad]

21. Were there more than 6.5 mil jobs

Created in any other, previous year? I thought not.
