Some may call it “spin”. Some may just call it an “honest” mistake. Some may say it’s just having an opportunity to have a closer look at all the data. I call it a premeditated & deliberate attempt to make things look better than they really are in an effort to minimize the negative impact on the current administration and the market. [...]
