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.”

It looks like mental illness is in the air. The millions of people suffering from it shows by what comes out of their mouths. I have NEVER seen this level of instability in the populace of this country EVER in my lifetime.

“Who is more likely to kill you over a fast food order?”

Rather, look at the dude who tried to attack the store clerk because his woman didn’t have, what, 50 cents to buy some chips???

“Who decides if the US is in a recession?”

I hate these bastards. They spent Trump’s entire 4 years yelling “recession” during a record economic boom.

Two consecutive quarters of negative growth decides we’re in a recession, stupid b*tch, and we have that.

Isn’t a recession simply two or more consecutive quarters of negative growth?

It’s really strange how conservative media constitutes the majority of CNN’s viewership. It is time to ignore CNN and use that free time on productive matters, like stories on the best ways to end inflation and recession.

The Left’s Core Strategy #1: Scream accusations of racism (or racist attacks) at anything you don’t like or which slows your agenda.

The Left’s Core Strategy #2: “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it. “

The Left’s Core Strategy #3: Passionately attack Republicans for actions you are undertaking.

The Left’s Core Strategy #4: When all else fails, deploy violence.

The Left’s Core Strategy #5: Repeat.

Here’s a Caucasian economist stating that two negative GDP numbers is a recession. Revised or not 2 weeks later.

To the twits at cnn, please take some basic economics courses at your local community college.

In the fwiw department for you millennials, gen z etc, we are currently in stagflation. See Jimmah Carter in the dictionary.

This week's line: Complain about the economy == you're a racist.

Last week's line: Complain about the economy == you're a Russian stooge.

I guess last week's line didn't get enough traction.
