CNN: We're Headed for Recession, But the Good News Is It Will Hurt Trump!
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 08/15/2019 9:12:52 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Look at the bright side! Sure, a recession could throw millions of Americans out of work, and shrink retirement portfolios. But an economic downturn would also hurt President Trump in 2020!

That was CNN's theme this morning. The 6 am New Day hour led with co-host John Berman trumpeting yesterday's stock market drop. CNN economic analyst Rana Foroohar then said of a recession: "it's here."

[snip]Catherine Rampell, a CNN commentator and Washington

John Avlon then weighed in to crow: "if the economy goes south, [Trump] is in a world of hurt."

Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

I was on an Italian Fakebook Group and one of the Posters blamed POTUS Trump for her 401-K going down because of his hardline with Tariffs on China.

Those people are so radical they will stop at nothing to regain power, even if they have to burn the house down around themselves. Wow....

Yeah.. best economy since Reagan and we are “heading into recession”.. dumbasses

They didn’t recognize the 8 years of Odumbass’s stagflation as a recession.

If there is a looming recession.. Isn’t that EVEN MORE incentive for ICE round ups and deportations?

To keep Americans employed and have more possible job opportunities?

“Do you think Dagen is an anti-Trumper? I’ve never gotten that feeling.”

I think she’s a social liberal, but also a capitalist. I don’t think she’s a never Trumper, but I get the strong feeling she’s not fond of President Trump.

Dagen McDowell has that presence that reminds me of Megyn Kelley or Alisyn Camoratta.

That was CNN's theme this morning.

This type of headline and thinking, in the end, will lead to the DEMISE of CNN completely.

As far-fetched as that statement may sound to some, it is the current course that CNN is on.

Take a look at their current ratings. You CANNOT pedal this kind of "fake news" to Americans continually without paying the ultimate price.

I don’t think the market volatility presages a recession in the US. Maybe overseas but the US economy has a pretty good head of steam.

I'm with you on that score.

She does hate juan williams. When juan vomits his usual screed, Dagen looks long daggers at him, and then gives him a snarky backhand.

juan is usually too slow and too stupid to understand that he has been de-balled.

BTW, I think I hate juan more than shepy...it's close, but since I NEVER watch the 3:00 PM FAG, it is hard to keep a long term hate for him.

I do watch the 5 on occasion {less and less} because between juan and donna I see no reason to waste my time on that show.

Since I DVR all shows, I am now just FF to One more thing so I can watch, "Animals are Great" and skip all the rest of the bullshit, including that little blonde that has sex with her dog and is married to an English beard to give her cover.

No CNN doesn’t need to be viable—it will be floated by George Soros and his Leftist billionaires. It is the new Pravda —Party owned News. The day will come when it will be the only news permitted.

As always, what hurts America is good for Democrats.

Actually, it much worse than just that.

The prevailing philosophy of the Progressive is the current US economic, political and social system needs to collapse and be destroyed entirely so it can be rebuilt by them, for them and in their image.

Destruction is their end goal under any scenario, so what difference does it make. As they say, the issue is never the issue, the real issue is furthering The Revolution

Are they insane?

Probably some are, but this is what is being indoctrinated into young people in University since at least the mid 1980s so for them it’s reality and the “ normal” people are the ones who are crazy in their world view.

The upper level people like the talking heads on CNN are just revolutionaries who are using words as weapons

Once CNN reaches critical mass (rock bottom ratings) even a George Soros money machine would stop funding it.

You cannot convey propaganda if the vehicle designed to do it is NO LONGER connecting with an audience.

Why do you assume that America loses to a media 'fifth column?'

The intention of most of us, here, is to steer America back to her functional purpose!

Wait, didn’t the same thing happen late December too? But this time President Trump is done for!

And does anyone else’s phone pull up Barack Obama as soon as you type in “President.” It never defers to Trump.!
