Analysis of news coverage of economy is incomplete w/out factoring in measurably more negative stories when Rep’s are president vs. Dem’s. Also, similar economic conditions under Clinton were reported consistently worse than under Bush. Example: “recession” as a topic showed up much more infrequently in 2000 when economic contraction actually occurred, compared to, oh, say, most of the last year as growth has gone from great to slow–but still growth.
