The media sure is trying to create a recession! Have you paid attention to this? Every election year in which there's a republican in office, the media tries to create a recession. They want people to believe a) it's the president's fault and b) it's only because it's a republican president. They're so full of it!
This week the financial announcements have been positive, at least 7 out of 10 of the leading indicators. Jobless claims were down, unemployment up, stock market up, higher-than-expected profits from numerous major companies. Then right after the financial news in which these things are almost begrudgingly reported, some announcer comes on with a report about some survey in which "seven out of ten Americans believe we're either in or headed to a recession."
Please, make your own decisions. Don't let the media lead you into believing what they want you to believe because of whatever their agenda happens to be. If you're a liberal, at least be a liberal on whatever merits there are to be a liberal, instead of being led blindly along the media's propaganda path.
If you're conservative, I hope you understand the media's bias. Even Fox is biased, they just happened to be biased our way (I'm a conservative, in case you're wondering).
