Is the media lying to you about the economy?

Don't let anyone pull the wool over your eyes... Is the media lying to you about the economy?    Dear Reader, Is the media lying to you about the economy? And if so, why would they ever do such a thing? I'll let you ponder those questions and ultimately reach a conclusion on your own... But I've noticed an interesting pattern heading into this year's election cycle I can't help but point out. Legacy media outlets seem pretty keen on telling us that things aren't quite as bad as they seem. And I'm sensing a bit of bias or, at the very least, wishful thinking in their rosey narrative. Here are just a few of the articles I've seen over the last week: [Washington Post on Economy] [CNET on Economy] [The Economist on Economy] [CNN on Economy] For one reason or another, legacy media wants us to believe the economy is fine. And personally, I find this all a bit fishy. The weakness of the American consumer is undeniable (something we're going to show you in more detail very shortly) yet the prevailing narrative coming from the mainstream is that all is well. There's nothing to see here citizen; move along. It makes me wonder; Could this patronizing attitude have anything to do with the fact that American's [number one issue hitting the polls]( this year is the state of the economy? Or that a market downturn is a MAJOR [vulnerability for democrats](? Maybe it's just me... But when I see Trump urging the Fed to not make any moves ahead of the election. And democrats writing letters to the Fed [begging for cuts]( (the exact opposite)... I can't help but think that there's way too much at stake here for all these interested parties to be giving us an objective take. We could debate for hours about media bias and where they all lean. Different outlets have their own agendas... But one thing we know for certain is this: the economy is going to be the driving issue in November. And while politics and media bias are ultimately not our primary focus, it's important to understand how this whole machine operates. Because the reality is that markets are heavily dictated by information flow. And information flow is heavily dictated a small handful of media conglomorates... Ones that don't exactly have a great track record of being honest with the American people. So here's my prediction, you can take from it what you will: legacy media will continue putting a positive spin on the economy until November. But after that, all bets are off. Whatever happens, the whole point of this letter is to help you prepare for what's coming. Because no amount of media spin can cure the economic realities facing the American consumer right now. The only way forward will be to face the fallout head on, then rebuild and invest... Keep an eye out for a more detailed presentation on the true state of the U.S. economy soon. And, most importantly, for the profit opportunities hidden in this impending crisis...
