Sure is. We’ve basically given back all the jobs created during the recovery from the Great Recession. A decade of growth gone in 4 weeks.

You are ABSOLUTELY correct. Unequivocally. The press would never mislead the American people in any way shape or form. They’re beyond reproach.
CBS admits to using footage from Italy in NYC coronavirus report
CBS News has admitted that footage of an overflowing ward used during a report on the coronavirus crisis in NYC hospitals was actually shot in Italy.www.google.com
OMG, a mistake!!! Sacré bleu! The smoking gun!!! That alone caused mass panic and is causing people to panic and the economy to crash!
CNN isn't the media as a whole, lots of media outlets have covered the story.
We could go 'round and 'round about media mistakes and biases, simple fact is though blaming the media for causing panic and mayhem in the streets is a cop out because it is easy to blame some large and amorphous entity for SOMETHING, ANYTHING!
The vast majority of medical professionals and the political leaders who are listening to them didn't decide to wake up one day and start panicking because they turned their TV's on to the news and saw VIRUS! Nope, they decided on advice from those medical professionals. Shocking, some still listen to experts.

Sure would be nice to have all those jobs back that we’ve been shipping to Mexico since the 80s.
I guess we’ll see how USMCA works out.

Yup.
People who disregard news media as fake or untrustworthy may as well renounce faith in the merits of the United States based on MKUltra and the Tuskegee syphilis experiments. Something something babies and bathwater.
It's not hard to read (I know, words can be tough) multiple news sources to sift for data, but Americans insist on cherry picking stories from their platform-opposed talking heads of choice and using those instances as an open-and-shut thesis and conclusion against "the news."
It's getting easier and easier for members of the hegemonic power structure here to do and say whatever they please, and we're all doing it to ourselves.

Interesting that you used Governor DeWine as your example earlier. I’m assuming you’re ready to praise his willingness to lean forward while listening to his chief medical advisor? Phrased another way, is he doing this because because of panic or in spite of it?
I'm no economist but beyond reflecting on the bad numbers has anyone seen any sort of analysis about how this is different because it based on force of nature? I heard someone smart (name escapes me) a few weeks ago discussing how the impacts to the job market are different than a standard recession because of the causal factors.
The only way that would be the case is if we just hit pause on the economy and nobody paid bills. Tenants don’t pay landlords, landlords don’t pay mortgages, all the way up to the lenders. That’s not happening. We have no such agreement. Additionally, I think that’s the only way you could convince America to stay home past May 1st no matter what the data shows the next two weeks. People will start starving.

Well, for starters there is no systemic problem with the "system" like we had in 2008. If you look at the 1980s, the 2000s and 2008 those were all economic bubble that burst resulting in recessions. This is a self-inflicted wound. I'm no expert on viruses, but if things clear-up and stay that way I think the economy will bounce back once people (states) are given the all clear to return to normal. Human nature and all.
Yeah, I had heard this clip weeks ago so not sure how well it's aged. I agree that the machine needs money to run but this situation is unprecedented so I doubt many economists have spent much time figuring out the nuances of a pandemic prior to JAN20.
