President Trump triggered the liberal media with his tweet teasing the May jobs report which was released Friday.
Ahead of the expected report release, the president said he was “looking forward” to seeing the numbers Friday morning, a move that sent the media into hysteria over what they claimed was unprecedented presidential behavior.
Looking forward to seeing the employment numbers at 8:30 this morning.

An MSNBC panel blasted Trump for his “deeply suspect” and “unprecedented” tweet while CNN’s John King joined the media circus trying to negatively spin the report which showed low unemployment and better-than-expected job growth.

Trump’s jobs-report tweet broke a protocol designed to prevent giving early hints to investors https://t.co/vLR7LELRXl

If the president just tipped that the numbers are good, he broke the law https://t.co/8MDJZAS22j

In fact, King issued a challenge after declaring “there is no excuse for what the president did today.”
“I dare you, go back and look, ” King said speaking to a CNN panel gathered Friday to discuss Trump’s tweet. “Find a president of the United States talking about, tweeting about, communicating about the unemployment report before it came out.”
Though none of King’s liberal panelists offered any journalistic skills in response, his wish was soon granted via the Republican National Committee which posted multiple examples of a president touting the monthly Jobs report.
Wonder where King and the rest of the media were during the eight years former President Obama was in office.
GOP out with response to @JohnKingCNN‘s dare that no one could find any president commenting on jobs numbers ahead of release. President Obama, who usually had weak numbers, sometimes warned about them a day ahead, for example: https://t.co/lpJbMiCopZ

Instead, the CNN panel spent the rest of the segment blasting the president and asking if he “called any of his rich friends” to tip them off about the report numbers.
The glaring media bias could not be more obvious and social media users were happy to point out the brutal truth to CNN and others in the mainstream media.
This is an example of the proper way to use social media to fight poor journalism and false claims. @JohnKingCNN at #CNN needs to go on the air and let people know that he made a mistake. I think if journalists would admit errors they could regain some credibility. https://t.co/G98q9mf0tq

Maybe its a YUGE conspiracy.. Maybe CNN secretly wants President Trump to be re-elected in a landslide.. Why else would they post such nonsense, day after day after day??
