DUNCE: LA Times Admits Recession ‘Inevitable,’ Then Spins ‘It May Not Be that Bad’
NewsBusters ^ | 6/23/2022 | Joseph Vazquez

Posted on 06/23/2022 8:28:22 AM PDT by JV3MRC

The Los Angeles Times singlehandedly proved that the liberal media will go to asinine lengths to protect President Joe Biden’s political image even if the economy tumbles into a recession.

The Times released a tone-deaf story that reeked of economic illiteracy. The story was headlined: “Yes, a recession looks inevitable. But it may not be that bad. Here’s why.” Times staff writer Don Lee trivialized the 40-year high inflation crisis that could legitimately plunge the nation into recession: “Whether it’s President Biden insisting a recession is avoidable or his critics arguing that the wolf is at the door, both sides are acting as if the nation faces an unprecedented catastrophe.” Perhaps Lee missed this June 17 headline from the liberal The New York Times warning Americans about how dangerous the inflation situation really is: “This Is Going to Hurt.” [Emphasis added.]

But Lee, illustrating a new talking point for some media leftists, attempted to make it seem like a recession typified by skyrocketing prices and supply shortages isn’t that big of a deal.

I suspect we'll all know how big a deal it is based on the Nov. election results.

Mom grew up in the depression on a cotton farm, she said even in good times they did not have much money but the kids were all chubby. The banker asked her dad if he needed a little money to buy some clothes for the kids, grand dad said, no just for the seeds, my kids may be naked but they’ll be fat.

Unexpectedly
Inflation is transitory
Safe and Effective
Died Suddenly
Unemployment is good allowing people to spend time with family or on a hobby
Recession is good. It helps the planet.
Up is Down
Evil is Good

This would never be happening if Trump was still in office....but imagine if he was and this was happening.

I’ll give a quick example of the supply chain fiasco.

A neighbors AC went out a few days ago. The AC company says the air handler needs a new evaporator coil. They’re telling my neighbor
they can’t get the part for....TWENTY SIX WEEKS. WHAT??!!

We live in Florida and it’s gonna be right at 100 degrees here today.

Thanks brandon

“proved that the liberal media will go to asinine lengths to protect President Joe Biden’s political image”

Imagine what would be happening right now it someone found Ivanka Trump’s diary in which she said Trump took showers with her when she was a young girl.

(proved that the liberal media will go to asinine lengths)

This became more that obvious back in 2008. Jaw-dropping.

Ping to remember one Freeper we lost I guess.

Of course, it's like a handicap system depending on the shade of Blue. The deeper Blue the higher the number you need to overcome.

With a recession comes the possible collapse of the Dollar and loss of the World Reserve Currency.

It’s not a recession, recession. But if Trump were in office it’d be the biggest economic downturn ever.

It’s their way of breaking the bad news gently.
