Mainstream media manaage to trivialize the best factory utilization in 13 years

The people who run all the "mainstream" media companies all hate Trump and Republicans and capitalism with a passion.  This is also true of the people who work for the Reuters "news agency."

Wanna see how that affects what they put out as "news"?  Ok, here's an example: the government just anounced that the "U.S. factory index"--a measure of how busy factories are--hit a high not seen in 13.5 years.  That's tremendously good news, and unless it could be countered, average Americans might get the idea that Trump's policies lead to...uh...more prosperity.  

Lord knows Democrats can't have that!  So Reuters needed to work hard to find a headline that would trivialize this great news.  And they ran the story under the following headline:

  "Hurricanes Harvey, Irma lift U.S. factory activity index to 13-year high"

But that headline is crap.  Utter, complete crap.  Because virtually no factory can gear up by a measurable amount in response to the hurricanes in the month or so since they hit.  Oh sure, the folks that make bottled water might add a shift, but that wouldn't make a blip.

But see how cleverly the media trivialized great news:  So most Americans think the great news isn't due to improved business confidence because of Trump's policies, but to the twin disasters of the two hurricanes.

In fact I'm a little surprised that they didn't spin the headline even more, spinning the record factory utilization as *bad news* because of the hurricanes--which of course would be blamed on Trump pulling the U.S. out of the Paris climate agreement.

Rat-bastard Lying Media.
