          1. Here's the thing about the 'economy is doing better' pieces. They actually *help* Trump. Why? Because his supporters don't see it.

          It's just one more thing he can point to The Media lying about. 'The economy is better? If that's the case why can't you get a job!'

        In some ways they're right though. Is the economy *really* getting better if it is only getting better for the same people it did last Q?

      Bad economic reporting, without nuance, plagues the industry. And it shouldn't. Little is more important to get right than that.

    Filter bubbles aren't magic. People wrap themselves in them when they can't find someone telling the reality *they* see.

      What is an economic upturn when it all goes in the pockets of the people who need it the least? Can you even report it as such then?

        Earnings don't just happen. Money comes from somewhere & that somewhere is usually other people. Every economic growth has a cost somewhere

          That's the story. To make this economic growth happen, someone paid for it. Someone always does. Who, where, why, what and how did they?
