The main media, namely ABC, CBS and NBC, dedicated 62 times more coverage to Trump tariffs and market reaction than excellent work numbers, according to a Newsbusters analysis.
The United States Labor Statistics Office published job numbers earlier this month, and crushed expectations. American employers added 228,000 workers to their payrolls in March, while expectations were only established for 140,000 jobs. As detailed by the Breitbart News Economy editor, John Carney, “the hiring of the private sector was much stronger than expected. Economists had predicted 115,000 jobs. Companies added 209,000 jobs.”
However, the main media could not be bothered to cover excessive figures, at least compared to the initial consequences of the historical announcement of the “day of release” of President Donald Trump of the reciprocal rates of reciprocal tariff after the decades of Uleair armor.
“Reciprocal rates, again, reciprocal, round trip, round trip, and we would call this reciprocal child. This is not complete reciprocal. This is reciprocal of children,” Trump said convert the announcement of the Rose Garden on April 2.
“We charge you, my answer is very simple, if you complain, if you want your rate to be zero, then build your product here in the United States, because there is no rate if you build your plant, your product in the United States,” Trump explained.

“In the same way to all foreign presidents, prime ministers, kings, queens, ambassadors and all those who soon call to ask for exemptions from thesis rates, I say, thermaten their own tariffs, release their barriers,” the president continued.
Wall Street initially panicked with liquidations, and all the main media worried. According to the federalist, “on April 4, the day when the UU Labor Statistics desktop reported in March had increased by 228,000 hard and expected jobs, the transmission networks during the 24 -hour period dedicated 62 times more coverage to Trump, according to Trump, excusively provided to the federalist.”
It does not end there:
Hyperbolic networks dedicated 10 times more coverage to the history of rates than to the report last week to reduce consumer prices. While the consumer price index fell, led by lower prices in the pumps, ABC News had nothing to say about the CPI decline added, according to Newsbusters. The transmission news network was issued 16 seconds in the slightly prices of the eggs, according to the report.
…
The tariff transmission coverage between April 2 and April 11 totaled 422 minutes and 45 seconds more than 7 hours-vorth.
ABC News was responsible for 148 minutes and 41 seconds for that coverage alone in that period of time of April 2 and April 11.
In comparison, these conventional transmission networks only gave 45 seconds of coverage to the job report of April 4 in a 24 -hour period, while offering 46 minutes and 50 seconds in the Tariff coverage in that same period of time. Again, ABC dedicated 14 seconds to work numbers versus 17 minutes and 53 seconds in rates. Similar figures are true for CBS News and NBC News too.
