The AP’s Monthly Mantra: Bad Economy Coming
Here’s the latest in a long line of Associated Press reports (”Retail Sales for March Rosy, Even as Outlook Cloudy”) whose message is: “Today’s news is good, but tomorrow’s probably won’t be, so don’t you DARE feel good about the economy.”
It seems like a negative version of the “Free Beer Tomorrow” signs you see in some bars. The AP should just headline all their reports “Bad Economy Coming Next Month — Trust Us.”
