Media coverage of the economy has finally broken into positive territory

By Kevin Drum | February 20, 2024 – 3:35 pm

Today I learned that the Federal Reserve Bank performs daily tracking of economic news sentiment.

news-sentiment-index
/

Here it is since 2011 (Bank’s original graph goes back to 1980):


The index is currently at 0.17, roughly equal to the peaks between 2014 and 2020. However, it only rose above zero about three months ago. It took a long time for objectively good economic conditions to finally filter into the press.

The SF Federal Reserve Bank's index covers only newspapers. On the one hand, this is bad because it doesn't count TV news shouters that lots of people listen to. On the other hand, it's good because it doesn't count TV news shouters, who are mostly out of their minds. Call it a wash.

Fuck you, Kevin.

All the media has done for 3 years is say the economy was great.

They denied that inflation was even occurring for a year, and they're still not calling this a recession when it has been for 2 years.

What do you care anyway? You're going to die of cancer before 2028.

Recently heard a poll.
In 2016, Obiden held a 50% advantage over Trump from "non-white" voters.

Now, that figure is 12%.
