When the employment news is as good as it was in January, even CNSNews.com can't figure out a way to make it look bad.
Thus, Ali Meyer was forced to play it pretty much straight in her Feb. 6 CNS article:
The labor force participation rate increased from 62.7 percent to 62.9 percent in January as the number of people not in the labor force declined from 92,898,000 in December to 92,544,000 in January, and the unemployment rate ticked up from 5.6 percent to 5.7 percent.
However, Meyer does show her bias in one way: she refused to note that 257,000 jobs were created in January. Instead, she complained that "The number of unemployed and employed both increased in January," failing to explain to her readers what significance, if any, those numbers have.
