The Media's Questionable Reporting

Larry Elder discusses the impact of media bias on public perception, particularly focusing on the economy and coverage of Donald Trump. Elder uses a psychology experiment as an analogy to illustrate how media narratives can skew public opinion. He presents data showing that despite positive economic indicators, a significant percentage of people believe the country is in recession due to negative media coverage. Elder also examines how media coverage changed dramatically before and after the 1992 election and how similar patterns have appeared during Trump’s presidencies. He concludes by highlighting the prevalence of left-biased news in major aggregators, affecting what people read and believe.
