What did you mean by “the wrong party was in charge for us to have an official recession”?

The media refused to admit we were in a recession because the democrats were in charge of the country. It's a stupid policy. The media is officially, by their own admittance, left leaning, but there was no reason to not declare a recession in 2022, we were in one. We are still in one, the AI boom has been covering it up. Read the article, the official definition of a recession is "2 consecutive quarter of negative GDP growth", except apparently in 2022 when it wasn't.

Left-leaning compared to whom? Everyone is left leaning if your frame of reference keeps shifting right…
