And they wonder why they're so stupid
Happening Now Reagan Employment"Fox News host Jon Scott ...claimed that when President Reagan took office, unemployment was 8.2 percent, and by the time his first term ended, it had dropped to 6 percent."
Does it really matter what the fuck Fox News reports, anyway? At what point does Roger Ailes and Rupert Murdoch just admit they are the National Enquire of television?

The unemployment rate when Ronald Reagan took office was 7.5%, not 8.2%. And, it was 7.3% at the end of his first term, not 6%. That information is very easily attained. You have to go out of your way to ignore it.
