Reuters Cites Biden Donor to Assure Readers GDP Won’t Impact Election

The way the media handled the reporting on U.S. GDP growth having its fastest growth ever in the third quarter yesterday was atrocious at best. But the way Reuters handled the expected growth a day before the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) report dropped was just pathetic.

Reuters downplayed the expected GDP growth: “[I]t will do little to mitigate the human tragedy inflicted by the coronavirus pandemic, with tens of millions Americans still unemployed and more than 222,000 dead.” After knocking President Donald Trump for the possibility that he will “seize on the [expected] stunning rebound in GDP,” Reuters pivoted to citing Cornell University Associate Professor of Government Christopher Way to make a completely arbitrary claim: “‘The figure for estimated GDP growth in the third quarter will be dramatic, and will have absolutely zero effect on the election.’” Reuters never mentioned that Way is a Joe Biden donor, having given the Democratic presidential nominee $500 so far. In fact, Federal Election Commission records show Way has donated exclusively to Democrats this cycle.

Did Reuters even think to consider that Way may have a monetary interest in downplaying the expected GDP numbers in order to boost his preferred candidate?
