Given that

(A) Trump (seemingly personally) fired Dr. Erika McEntarfer from her role as the Commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics last August for a bad jobs report

(B) There have been reports that the Pentagon is at least shading and maybe plain concoting numbers about Iran war

(C) Ellison Bezos, Soon-Shiong and Murdoch have done a lot to reverse media's liberal bias

Can we believe this report of "strong job gains"?
