Chris Hayes ridicules the Fox News reaction to the good November jobs report with economic reality.

December 16, 2023 By Egberto Willies

Fox News did not know what to do with themselves as the jobs report turned out better than expected every month. Their coverage is partially responsible for Americans’ angst.

In a recent analysis, Chris Hayes, host of MSNBC’s All-In, shed light on the positive trends in the U.S. economy, explicitly highlighting the decrease in unemployment to around 3% and a similar reduction in inflation. As discussed by Hayes, this news suggests that the economy might be heading towards a “soft landing,” effectively avoiding a recession. That said, the persistent struggles faced by many Americans due to the inherent structural challenges of the capitalist system must continue to be acknowledged. The pain afflicting many Americans who have yet to recover from the systemic destruction by supply-side economics persists.

Hayes’ commentary delves into a comparative economic analysis. He notes that the current economy under President Biden is faring relatively well compared to other global economies and past U.S. administrations. Despite a decrease in the average American’s purchasing power, an ongoing trend since the inception of the current supply-side economic model. One must note that the economy is performing as well as can be expected within the constraints of the existing capitalist framework. This perspective suggests a nuanced understanding of the economic situation by recognizing its achievements and inherent limitations.

Much of Hayes’ analysis focuses on Fox News‘s reaction to these economic developments, a good jobs report. He points out that despite the positive indicators, commentators on Fox News appear to be spinning the news negatively or expressing skepticism, highlighting a perceived bias against the Biden administration. This observation by Hayes underscores the politicization of economic news and how different media outlets may portray the same data in divergent ways, often influenced by their political leanings.

Adding depth to the discussion, an economist and professor, Justin Wolfers, explains the concept of a “soft landing” in the economy. He notes the remarkable achievement of maintaining low unemployment while reducing inflation, a scenario contrary to the expectations of many economists. Initially, there was a belief that reducing inflation would necessitate an increase in unemployment. However, the current economic scenario defies these predictions, maintaining a balance that was thought to be unlikely.

In conclusion, this segment analyzes the current economic situation and serves as a call to action for greater engagement with progressive media. It emphasizes the importance of understanding and disseminating a progressive perspective on economic and political issues, advocating for the support and sharing of progressive platforms. This call to action is framed as a way to ensure that a broader audience is exposed to a progressive analysis of the economy, which aligns with the views and desires of many Americans. Thus, the segment informs and mobilizes its audience towards a more engaged and informed participation in economic discourse.
