‘Great news on the job front!’: Watch Fox and Friends give Trump credit for Obama’s last jobs report

Fox and Friends host Heather Nauert said that “the first jobs report under President Trump” is “fantastic news” and held it up as proof that Trump’s presidency is already boosting the economy.

This is “great news on the job front,” she crowed.

“Unfortunately for Fox’s pro-Trump narrative,” wrote Alex Morash at Media Matters, “the job creation in this report does not belong to his administration. University of Chicago economist Austan Goolsbee, a former chairman of President Obama’s Council of Economic Advisors, pointed out that the ‘reference week’ for the latest jobs data ran through January 12, meaning the entire report predates the Trump administration by over a week. Washington Post reporter Glenn Kessler, who runs the paper’s fact-checking research, also noted that the report ‘still reflects the Obama administration.’ Fox also neglected to mention that the report marks 76 consecutive months of job growth — the longest on record — for Obama.”

4. Similar lies today from Sean Spicer and Breitbart.

But you can bet the first bad jobs report will be blamed on President Obama.

5. Everything good is you know, everything bad is you know.

We have gone so far off the cliff it isnt funny at all anymore.

6. And as soon as there is a bad jobs report, they'll say its Obama's fault.

You can bet on it.

ON edit: just saw earlier post making same point. Great minds and all that...

7. Darn -- some technocrat just robbed #45 of credit

for Pres. Obama's last Job's Report. Now, if the next quarter's job report is bad, #45 will have a flimsy base (this jobs report) to blame the black guy who previously held the Office.

8. This isnt Obama's last one.

Impact on Trump wont be felt for almost a year.

10. Are Fox and Friends hosts ever bothered by how easily they are replaced?

They do apparently have issues with some inappropriate expectations.
