I’m about fucking sick of “falsely claimed”.

Is it so hard to say "lied". Like give me a break

"Job Data" isn't created by the Federal Government, dipshit.

Strictly speaking, it's assembled and released by the Bureau of Labor and Statistics, which is absolutely a federal agency.

But the sources for the data are diverse, public, and easily reproducible. It's not just the commissioner pulling numbers out of a hat.

Look at this Sharpie. Donald Trump literally thought he could draw what the weather had been according to himself.

Lemme guess. He noticed that someone had drawn on the report with a sharpie.

Fuck I can't wait till he's an after thought. Only whisperd about in dark alleys and hushed tones. America's darkest and dumbest set back

The Poynter Institute is the center for the IFCN, an organization that holds fact-checking organizations accountable, and includes respected organizations like Snopes, Mediawise, and FactCheck.org. MBFC is not a signatory to the IFCN's code of principles, and its determinations of factuality and bias have little to do with the work of these organizations, despite right-wing 'independent voter' Dave Van Zandt's claims to the contrary.
