Today the for GE CEO twittered that BLS stats. were rigged. He's been shilling for Romney for a while now.
All the major news outlets picked up on Jack Welch's latest Tweet:
“Unbelievable jobs numbers..these Chicago guys will do anything..can’t debate so change numbers,” Welch wrote in a message posted immediately after the U.S. Labor Department reported that the economy added 114,000 jobs last month, pushing the unemployment rate to 7.8 percent, the lowest since President Barack Obama took office in January 2009.
Roseanne Badowski, Welch’s secretary, said the retired CEO is the only one with access to the Twitter account and is now unavailable for the rest of the day in meetings.
It's worthwhile noting his earlier Romney propaganda two weeks ago on CNBC. The network had him on for an hour of Fox News-like "analysis". See:
