Media Nearly Unanimous: 'Recession' Inevitable
by possibly noteworthy at 11:07 am EST, Jan 26, 2008

Recent polls of economists by leading financial publications have predicted a less than 50-percent chance that the U.S. economy will enter a recession in 2008. But the media’s coverage of “recession” makes it seem inevitable.

“Everyone’s talking about a recession,” Amy Robach reported on the “Today” show January 12.

The broadcast media mentioned the economy or a recession in 54 stories during the first two weeks of 2008. The segments predicted a recession or reported fears of a looming recession four times as often as they reported optimism about the New Year, even though recent surveys of economists put the chance of recession at 40 percent to 42 percent.

The media says this?
