Reader comment on: An Extremely Good New York Times Article

Submitted by Irwin Chusid (United States), Dec 11, 2019 10:45

The Times article contains this observation: "If you go back even further, to the late Obama years, there was an even more pessimistic tone about the outlook for American workers embedded in the fine print of both public and private-sector forecasts." So when Obama was around, the outlook was dire. Now, several years later, the "big-picture numbers are so good." I gather from the first observation above that Obama is no longer President. Who is? That person isn't mentioned in the Times article. Even in writing about a robust US economy, the Times can't overcome its ingrained bias about Trump to give him some justified credit. This isn't an "extremely good New York Times article." It's typical.
