In reply to the discussion: Trump fires commissioner of labor statistics after weaker-than-expected jobs figures slam markets [View all]wiggs
(8,609 posts)30. We won't see any bad news or reports or studies coming from this administration. Whether it's jobs, climate, illness,

Not only will only good reports come from the WH...I can see that the WH will stop REPORTING of bad reports from other sources independent of the Feds. Not only will they chill reporting....I can see that federal research and investigations that others would depend on for their own studies has been cut or controlled so that the base information is just absent.
The stage is already set.
