Earlier this week the New York Times published an editorial in which the author calls President Obama’s 2.0 GDP a “’Slow but Steady Improvement’ and at this pace there’s enough momentum to keep unemployment, currently 7.8 percent, from getting much worse.” We will find out if the unemployment rate goes up or down on Friday when the October job reports comes out. Twenty years before this, the New York Times also published an editorial in which the author calls then President George H.W. Bush 2.7 GDP, greater than Obama’s 2.0 GDP, a “’Gross National Letdown’ and that it almost certainly exaggerates the health of the economy, which continues to creep along at a painfully slow pace.”
Both of these articles were published within a week of each candidate facing the presidential elections. Fox News Channel, Bret Bair, added during his Tuesday night show: “The New York Times seems to be changing with the time when it comes to interpreting the country’s economic outlook.” I think that the New York Times is a very bias newspaper, and has this to run off of that assertion, among many other instances. This is also just another example of how the media doesn’t just report the facts; they all have to add their own propaganda. When Bush had a better GDP rating that Obama, he was criticized and it was reported negatively, I’m not saying that he shouldn’t of been criticized, I am saying that Obama should have had the same criticism and negativity reported when he had a lower GDP than Bush.
