The Media Is Colluding With the Biden Administration to Redefine Recession

For many decades, a recession has been defined as two consecutive quarters of negative GDP growth. This definition has never really been disputed until now: Joe Biden, who has spent the past year boasting about his historically unmatched economic record, doesn’t want to admit that his economy is actually garbage.

The White House has been bracing for the official announcement of the second straight quarter of negative growth by insisting that the long-accepted definition of a recession is not the true definition of a recession. But, unfortunately, they also refuse to offer their own alternative definition, because an objective standard for defining a recession isn’t politically advantageous at the moment.

It was ridiculous to watch the White House make this claim, but now the media is joining in on the ruse.
