Because it has been debated...one of many articles where this was discussed in prior years. The idea of inheriting the recession and the timeframe has been a SUBJECTIVE discussion meaning not everyone agrees with what constitutes this. https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/recessions-and-the-presidents-who-inherited-them 1 Link to comment

Do you click on/support articles from the NY Times, Wash Post, CNN, MSNBC or other outlets like Huff Post, Slate, etc...? Or do you disengage from the debate when you see such an article was posted? 1 Link to comment

I certainly never have because I like to find sources that can hold up to my own scrutiny which is what everyone should do. 1 Link to comment

I certainly never have because I like to find sources that can hold up to my own scrutiny which is what everyone should do. I agree with you but there is also context needed when looked at strings of data. As I think many of us have found in the football forum, when a prior coach was running the show (let's say Bo Pelini) and we all had the same data to work with (win/loss record, defensive stats, offensive stats, etc..), not everyone drew the same conclusions regarding where the program was headed and whether it was on a positive trajectory or stuck in neutral. Moreover, in the case of something larger like the US Economy, there are many data elements to look at. You can have great GDP but not so great unemployment, so copying a graph only focused on one variable and trying to tell a story around that variable can be just as misleading as some links from outside news organizations. Plus, with politics, there tends to be a lot of emotions and feelings and opinions on here. I have seen plenty of tweets posted trying to blast Trump in one way or another that is someone else's opinion...not a fact. I am not saying you have ever posted tweets as I don't really follow everything you post, but I do know many do post tweets. Link to comment

TGHusker Posted November 16, 2018 Author Share Posted November 16, 2018 Could Trump dump Pence for Haley? This article note it may be a possibility. Trump no longer needs Pence as a tie in to the evangelical vote (so sad) and he needs help with suburban women voters. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/11/16/us/politics/mike-pence-trump-administration.html Link to comment

There are articles and opinion pieces on nearly all sites.. NY Times, Fox, Wash Post, Breitbart and more. Pretending they only exist on sites that lean to the right is naive at best. Link to comment
