Covering the Coverage (Hour 2)

In a New York Minute (Hour 2)
The New York Times has been strangely hostile in its coverage of President Biden—to which the Wall Street Journal said “Hold my beer” before publishing a hit piece that was surprising even by its already low expectations.

The Self-Fulfilling Recession Prophecy (Hour 2)
A new public opinion survey shows the power of political communication: Despite the strongest economy on the planet and numbers not seen in years, many Americans who say their own finances are good are also believing that a recession is at hand or already here—thanks to a certain political class planting that false message and rooting for a recession to actually materialize.
