“Online Encyclopedia” Runs Cover For Biden’s ‘Recession’ Gaslight

All of America witnessed the Biden administration’s desperation as they attempted to convince the public that we are in fact not in a recession.

Officials from Biden’s regime relied heavily on the collective ignorance of the American people, plus major help from mainstream media outlets, to convince voters that progressive fiscal policies aren’t to blame for a recent economic downturn.

But the American people aren’t ignorant. We know all too well what a recession is and how it affects families nationwide. That didn’t stop insidious liberal weasels working within the evil mainstream media industry from running cover for the Biden administration by allowing them to redefine recession in the hopes of quelling America’s concerns.

Wikipedia was once a reputable media company relied upon by a large portion of the American public. Somewhere down the line, however, they started carrying water for the Democrat Party. Any individual who happens to run counter to the mainstream progressive narrative is viscously maligned and defamed on Wikipedia.

For example, the rampant use of “far-right”, “conspiracy theorist”, and/or “white nationalist” on Wikileaks to describe public figures who happen to adhere to Trump’s America First agenda is a not-so-subtle way of promoting liberal bias since none of those descriptors happen to be true in many cases.

The recession scandal, which is at the forefront of every American’s mind, is now being watered-down thanks to the help of Wikileaks.

The far-left media company quietly introduced restrictions to prevent new and unregistered users from editing the article about the economic recession. Wikileaks users are typically permitted to log on and edit articles on the site, but not anymore.

The “online encyclopedia,” which has demonstrated its leftist bias on many occasions, became the subject of intense criticism last week after editors made dozens of changes to the recession article to de-emphasize the broad consensus definition of recession — two consecutive quarters of negative GDP growth — instead parroting the Biden Administration’s talking points.

It was announced last week that Biden’s economy shrank for another quarter, meeting the technical definition of recession. But regime officials were desperate to create confusion in the media so as to stave off any criticism from likely midterm voters.

Editors of the leftist-dominated online encyclopedia are pushing a definition of “recession” that is unusually broad and favors the Biden administration’s claims that no recession has occurred.

The White House-approved definition of recession comes from the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER), which states: “A recession is a significant decline in economic activity spread across the market, lasting more than a few months.”

The broadening of the definition actually creates more headaches for the White House as current economic conditions meet NBER requirements as well.

The article continues to note, further down the page in a section on the definition, that “in a 1975 New York Times article, economic statistician Julius Shiskin suggested several rules of thumb for defining a recession, one of which was ‘two down quarters of GDP.’”

In response to the edit war, senior Wikipedia editors have locked the page on recession, preventing users from making further snap edits to it. Articles that become the subject of contentious “edit wars” are often locked in this manner by Wikipedia administrators — but the lock comes after leftists successfully muddied the waters.
However, Wikileaks is not the only insidious media company with a left-wing bias protecting the Biden regime from criticism over America’s harrowing economic conditions.Facebook recently placed a “fact-checking” label on a post written by top economist Phillip Magness, the research and education director at the American Institute for Economic Research, after he stated that America is now in a recession.

No matter which way you slice it, there’s no mistaking the evil nature of mainstream media.
