AllSides Media Bias Rating: Lean Left
It’s quite possible that, by the end of this week, we could be having yet another hugely important political debate over the definition of a word: “recession.”
The Bureau of Economic Analysis on Thursday is set to release the second-quarter gross domestic product (GDP) numbers. And if they’re negative, that will mark two consecutive quarters in which the economy has contracted — something that is generally understood to mean a recession.
How real and politically sensitive is that possibility? Real enough that the Biden administration is seeking to preempt it.
