LET THEM FIGHT! Jake Tapper and fellow blue-check journo get into HEATED back-and-forth over #JobsReport

Of all the CNN talking heads, Jake Tapper is the most bearable.

Don’t get us wrong, he can definitely be as annoying as his cohorts, but in comparison, he’s usually the first (and only) one to in any way say something positive about the country with Trump as president. And really he’s just sharing the facts of the actual Jobs Report:

Good economic news: The US economy added a strong 201,000 jobs in August. The unemployment rate stayed at a historically low 3.9%.

Ok, sounds good.

But for some reason, this angered Daniel Dale.

Maybe because Jake said it was good economic news?

Don’t look at us, we just work here.

CNN journalists are calling the 3.9% unemployment rate "historically low." It is one of the lowest ever, but it's not a record: the rate was 2.5% in 1953, and the rate was lower than 3.9% as recently as 2000. https://t.co/bHye7fFXj5

Jake didn’t say it was a record.

He said it was historically low.

That’s what “historically low” means, Dan.

Oops.

I didn't say it was false, just providing context – since "historically low" can also be read as "record low."

That’s not what he said and trust us, we’re usually the last group to defend Tapper.

Daniel just couldn’t deal with any positive news about American jobs it seems.
