Bloomberg columnist Matthew Yglesias:

"Antoni’s commentary on economic data over the past few years has been some of the absolute worst around. For the sake of the country I hope this guy is a huge liar and his various statements don’t reflect sincere incompetence."

Every accusation is a confession when it comes to these people. Expect the next report to be highly misleading or outright fabricated.
