The Trump administration declined to provide a guest to ABC News after the leader of the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) was fired over a poor jobs report.

On Sunday, This Week host George Stephanopoulos revealed that ABC had contacted the White House after President Donald Trump fired BLS Commissioner Erika McEntarfer.

"After the president fired the head of the BLS on Friday, we invited the White House to provide a guest to respond," the host explained. "They declined."

Instead, Stephanopoulos spoke to former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers about the BLS shakeup.

1. CENSORSHIP IS HERE

[C Moon]

2. If you want to work in this administration, you must be willing to lie.

[bucolic_frolic]

3. Denial, delusion, fantasy, invincibility. "Let them eat cake" soon.

[Mz Pip]

4. I'm surprised

Trump usually finds someone to go out and lie for him.

[hildegaard28]

5. That's because

They can't defend it, and they know it.

[Captain Zero]

6. ABC Should invite the fired commissioner

Next week.

If Mickey Mouse still has any balls left.

12. I am hoping she has some good lawyers working on her case.

7. But Hackett, I mean Hassett, was willing to go on MTP

and do his "we're just into transparency" schtick because he knew he wouldn't have his feet held to the fire.

8. THEY. ONLY. LIE. ANYWAY!

When news programs have on republicans all they get is foxnews propaganda. Always. Unceasingly.

There should be a moment taken after each segment with a republican spox to debunk their BS. Otherwise no service is being provided.

9. Let's cut to the chase. It was a shitty jobs report. Call it that.

[Buddyzbuddy]

10. So what, it's all going to be B.S. anyway.

There is no defense, only lies and misdirection. I've said it before and I'll say it again, stop giving them a platform.

Print or report news and information from other sources or not at all. If anything, let them respond directly and the minute they begin to lie, cut them off and tell the audience they are lying. Not misspoke not exaggerating but outright lying. Then point out to them, the guest and audience, that's what Faux news and niche max are for.
Enough of this crap, take back the control and re institute entegrity and real news. Not talking heads with "drama at 11" or "breaking news" every 5 minutes.

11. We will all certainly know better......

than to believe any "jobs report" from here on out.

Hopefully, no media will report whatever silliness the faux officials give them.

13. False economic projections lead to bad decisions at all levels and you end up with a Soviet-style liar's economy...

where no one can depend on any of the numbers, no one knows how many units can be made, how much they will cost to produce, or even whether consumers want to buy them or can afford them.
