HERE'S A PERFECT EXAMPLE FROM REUTERS: NOTE THE USE OF THE TERM "UNEXPECTEDLY" AND HOW THEY DOWNPLAY THE FACT THAT UNEMPLOYMENT CLAIMS HAVE RISEN FOR THREE STRAIGHT WEEKS, A DEFINITE TREND:

The number of Americans filing new applications for unemployment benefits unexpectedly rose last week, but the trend continued to point to a strengthening labor market. 

Initial claims for state unemployment benefits increased 5,000 to a seasonally adjusted 274,000 for the week ended Aug. 8, the Labor Department said on Thursday. Claims for the prior week were revised to show 1,000 fewer applications received than previously reported. 

Though claims have risen for three straight weeks, they have remained below the 300,000 threshold, which is associated with a firming jobs markets, for 23 consecutive weeks.
