-----------------------
Paragraph 7 is even preceded by a sub-head to the government statement that Verizon was not the reason for slight change in new jobless claims. Bloomberg has already headlined and framed the story claiming the opposite:
"Nothing Special
There were no special circumstances affecting last week’s claims data, a Labor Department spokesman said as the figures were released, adding that there was
- no indication that striking workers at Verizon influenced the numbers. "...
