Politico, like the rest of the leftist media, has franticly attempted to assist the Biden administration’s quest to rewrite the definition of recession. So much so that they’re now gaslighting their readers into believing that even if tomorrow’s GDP report shows the second quarter was negative, the report is inaccurate. In Wednesday night’s Politico Nightly newsletter titled

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. It was ridiculous to watch the White
The Federal Reserve hiking interest rates by three-quarters of a percentage point on Wednesday is more evidence the Fed was asleep at the wheel on inflation and is whiplashing America into a deep recession.
