2. I'm surprised the headline hasn't been picked apart to death by now

Jobless claims: Weekly claims rise to 202,000

Only talking about a rise in claims. No mention in the headline that this is up only slightly from a multi-decade low, that was "buried" in the first line of the report that a lot of people don't read blah blah blah. Did you know that for every person who reads a headline, only 10% or 5% or whatever percent even get to the first line?

No mention in the headline or article of President Biden and Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and the rest of the administration's economic team in bringing this about.

And on and on and on.

At least she didn't use "another", for the first time in however many long weeks. Hmm, maybe she reads DU
