The unemployment figures were conveniently off by a few million last month too. Clearly they are being manipulated to prop up the stock market. It's so obvious.

A lot of things look suspicious if you've never noticed them before and have no frame of reference. Official statistics have always been revised over time, and any given person may or may not have ever noticed, and nothing forces the media to notice or be consistent about it.
