How the media covers two recessions Betsy's Page Frank Strategies has put together a video to contrast how the media covered our recovering from a much milder recession in 2003 and how it's covering what we are undergoing today. Economic Reporting: Then and Now youtube.com <<< Has anybody else noticed that the media stubbornly refused to fairly report improving economic news in 2003 and 2004, as President Bush prepared for a tough re-election battle, while the same media is now euphorically jumping on any sign of economic improvement with President Obama in the White House? Just a coincidence, I'm sure. >>> Quite a difference, eh? And the difference doesn't lie in the statistics, but in the party of the president. (h/t Hot Air) Frank adds, <<< As I watched more and more of this massive change in the tone of economic reporting recently, I decided to produce a little compare-and-contrast video. I did so not in the hope that the media will now start talking down a possible economic recovery the way they so obviously and unfairly did a few years ago, but just to shine some light on the almost cartoonish nature of media coverage both then and now. And maybe to convince a reporter or two to not ask Obama how enchanting it is to be President, and instead maybe ask him how in the world we’re going to deal with this chart. >>> betsyspage.blogspot.com
