Haters will hate unless their guy (or woman) is in office, nature of the beast, works on both sides the same way, its been that way since before I was born and will probably be that way after I pass.

Just curious...what are your trusted news outlets?

news channels that are not biased. Real . Stations. Fox news is not really news. When a station only gives one side of the story and makes up things, such as, the President initiating martial law (2012), and sending drones to steal our guns then I don't take that outlet seriously. I also don't like outlets that go to court to invoke their first amendment right to lie.

You can't trust a news channel where the whole staff is Republicans/democrats...Fox/msnbc out off the 3 CNN has to be considered the most fair.


Fox has lots of liberal regulars such as Jaun Williams, Bob Beckel and Kirsten Powers to name a few.

None of the liberal outlets feature nearly as many (if any) conservatives.

Liberals hate Fox because they are #1 ...if you hate it simply change the channel...or actually watch it and draw your own conclusion rather than go on the talking points you hear by other outlets Fox is killing.

None of that will explain the FACT that this economic recovery is the weakest since WW2.  If one suggests that it is because the decline was so deep, the deeper the decline, the bigger the recovery.  It hasn't happened.  GDP over the last 5 years has run at about 1/2 of what the average recovery has done.

 

To your point:

From the article:

 

When compared with those in the past, the Obama recovery has been the slowest and weakest since the Great Depression. As The Wall Street Journal notes, the average quarterly GDP growth for all post-1960 recoveries was 4.1 percent, with total growth of 21.1 percent. Compare that to the anemic Obama recovery, which posted an average of 2.2 percent quarterly growth and a total of just 11.1 percent—about half the historic average.

 

Even more marked is the difference between the Obama recovery and the 1982–1983 Reagan recovery, which resulted in GDP growth of 23.1 percent over 17 quarters (25.6 percent for the entire recovery). According the Joint Economic Committee, this translates to a growth deficit of $2 trillion between Obama’s recovery and that under President Reagan. That is $2 trillion more that would be in the hands of U.S. businesses and workers today, when—despite the Obama supporters’ cheery sentiment—many American families are still aching financially.
