(Every day I read articles on corporate media sites trying to convince me that the economy is doing great)
JUST like the “take the jab” lies.
We live in an age of lies. /Captain Obvious

It is indeed an “age of lies”.
As to corporate economic media, the WSJ is the worst of all. Many people call them a conservative site, but they are far from it. They still have a few conservative editorial writers, but the economic reporters are nothing but shills for the Biden administration. They will write articles on the front page practically repeating word for word Biden’s statements on the booming economy to the point that they actually report bad economic news as a Biden “success”.
In addition, they jumped on every accusation against Trump with both feet, while ignoring the democrats’ malfeasance. As an aside, it is very telling as to which stories to which they allow comments and which they do not. To date, there has been no reporting by the WSJ on the FBI’s Charles McGonigal and his “collusion” with Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska, although there was one (and only one) editorial on the charges.
Decades ago, you could depend on the WSJ for fair reporting on the economy with just the facts cited in their articles. Now, they do a great disservice to the readers who depend upon them for economic reporting. More often than not, they are headlines in the mornings with a headline such as “Stocks poised to go up on good economic news”, only to have the DJIA open down as people delve into the actual numbers and realize the latest economic numbers aren’t that good at all.
