Another Half Fast non apology, only after Backlash, and only to BLS, not President Trump.
The Times columnist apologized in a follow-up tweet after he was hit with significant backlash.
“Getting a lot of outraged pushback over even allowing the possibility of something amiss at BLS. I was just covering myself, because so many weird things have happened lately. But I apologize for any suggestion that a highly professional agency might have been corrupted,” Krugman wrote. “And as I look at the data, I'm starting to believe that the modest job gains may well have been real, not an artifact of the models.”
