I believe you missed the sarcasm in his post...

I caught the sarcasm, I just don't understand why people care about what the spin of the day is within the media. For every bullish article you can find a bearish article. My point was that it matters not what the headline of the day is, whether it be bullish or bearish.
 
Olias, the media has a very large liberal bias. They love the dumbocrats. They know that if they can keep the Country torn/divided, they will be able to sell sensationalistic stories that pumps their ratings, sells ads, and puts more cash in their wallets.

MKTrader, you nailed it! Agreed.

I agree with your statement in general, but I don't think this is a case of the liberal media trying to form public opinion. It is the role of the NBER to study the data and determine when we're in a recession or not. I don't consider this 'looking under every rock' either.

The media was reporting the findings of the National Bureau of Economic Research. I don't see evidence of some vast liberal conspiracy

The Economist contacted all the economists in the National Bureau of Economic Research (N.B.E.R.) — a sample that would include just about every top economist in the United States

Remarkably, only about 10 percent of these economists self-identify as Republicans. Nearly half of economists called themselves Democrats; the rest were undeclared. Since when did economists get so liberal?
