Do you find this amusing?

One story from two different news sources:

CNN homepage (CNN.COM) headline:

US jobs recovery takes a massive hit and is still down nearly 13 million jobs

links to

https://www.cnn.com/2020/08/07/economy/july-2020-j...

Fox News homepage (FOXNEWS.COM) headline:

Unemployment rate falls to 10.2% in July as US adds 1.8M jobs

links to

https://www.foxbusiness.com/economy/july-jobs-repo...

Neither story is "fake news" or deceptive.

I think it is amusing. If you reaction is to get angry at one of the sources I recommend you lighten up. You will live longer.

    The CNN article is deceptive. They deny new jobs being created.

    The Fox headline is deceptive.  It implies that those jobs are brand new.  Most are not.  They're people who been layed off due to the pandemic and have since returned back to work.  The CNN headline is saying that you need to look deeper than the top line number in order to get a complete picture.

    Although unemployment is still high, job growth was very good in july. The biased media only focus on bad news.

    To me, it’s a sign that some jobs are lost forever.
