INSANE: CNN Argued Recession Proclamations Are Racist
NewsBusters ^ | 7/6/2022 | Joseph Vazquez

Posted on 07/06/2022 8:26:57 AM PDT by JV3MRC

CNN attempted to fool Americans into believing the reason the U.S. economy isn’t officially considered in a recession is because eight “white economists” didn’t say so. Confusingly, CNN also wrote that if leading economists do end up declaring the U.S. to be in recession, it’s also because those economists aren’t racially sensitive.

CNN senior markets reporter Nicole Goodkind published a story with an insane, racist headline that needs no explanation: “Who decides if the US is in a recession? Eight White economists you've never heard of.” What does race have to do with anything? Goodkind complained liberal economists like Moody’s Analytics Chief Economist Mark Zandi and investors like JP Morgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon could warn about an impending recession “until they're blue in the face, but their guidance will remain just that — an economic forecast.” Then came the kicker: “That's because, in the United States, the economy isn't broadly and officially considered to be in a recession until a relatively unknown group of eight economists says so.”

CNN reporter explains how economists define a recession… and in the same breath tells us there is no hard and fast rule about what constitutes a recession.

No surprise there. CNN argues that everything is racist.

I am beginning to think that “racism” is another word for truth.

CNN has long slid down the toilet, it’s fast heading for the septic tank.

“Who decides if the US is in a recession? Eight White economists you’ve never heard of.”

Isn’t is based upon data like negative GDP growth, inflation, etc?

this is literally how both the communists and nazis did “science”....they would confirm first that the “scientists” -were part of the Party, or, were not part of the anti-party (ie, wrong race or class) and then go from there

They will fudge the data beyond recognition in an attempt to keep it being declared a Recession. The MSM allowed Biden to remove gas and food from the inflation calculation and MSM let him. CNN and the rest of them will do the same with this.

IF and that is a big IF, the repubs win back control of the house and senate, then the day they are sworn in the msm will declare a recession and it will be the fault of the majority republicans.

yes they are that stupid.

Uhmmm....the definition of a recession is two back to back quarters of negative growth. But then again, a vaccine among many things in the lexicon from DC have merely been redefined to suit their agenda.

OMG! I hope they didn’t advocate urgency in fighting the recession. In Oregon, a state agency has found that urgency is a sign of white supremacy.

Apparently the Great Northwest thinks that people of color have a kick the can down the road approach to issues which is best for equal social justice.

On this topic however, what would happen to end inflation we the public just refused to spend anything as best and as long as possible? Reconnect with complete frugality.
