In what looks like a rare correction prepended to their usual bullshit, Fox Business News on Tuesday seemed to try to at least partially walk back the framing of what creepy incel EJ Antoni, Trump’s new Bureau of Labor Statistics chief, said after real economists freaked out in response to Antoni saying that “until it is corrected, the BLS should suspend issuing the monthly job reports but keep publishing the more accurate, though less timely, quarterly data,” as though he said that this week.
“Editor’s Note: This article was updated to clarify that the interview with EJ Antoni was conducted by Fox News Digital on Monday, August 4, 2025, and not during an on-air appearance on Fox Business Network. The story has been corrected to reflect this distinction,” the top of the article now says at the top, emphasis theirs, trying to make it clear this happened before the Orange God Emperor nominated Antoni to pretend to lead the bureau even though they presented it as new on Tuesday. It’s not clear whether “this distinction” actually matters and whether Antoni still wants to do it – hell this might’ve been exactly why Trump hired the rapey-looking skell three days later – but obviously Fox Business felt like they should at least make said dispositive difference clear.
