So we are back to this again?

Unexpectedly good numbers? Upward revisions? Must be a Republican in office!

You can take it to the bank, folks. Analysts always overestimate the economy when a Democrat is in office and always underestimate the economy when a Republican is office. Even our Government tracking of these like jobs and unemployment are not immune as "revisions" during a Democratic regime are almost exclusively "downward" while they are almost exclusively "upwards" during a Republican presidency. This means that the headlines will always show something bigger and better when you have a Democrat in office, then the downward revisions are lost down in paragraph 17 in the new story about how well the current month did (only be be revised down next month). Obviously the opposite occurs when you have a Republican president.

This story here is a typical example of suggesting that good news was somehow muted because it was unexpected, while people "brace" for the impact of the horrible policies enacted by a Republican. You cannot hate the media enough.
