This was evident in the recent U.S. presidential race, where the narrative surrounding the state of the economy underwent a significant transformation.
During their campaign, President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris painted a picture of an ideal economy, one that was thriving and robust. However, post-election, a different narrative has emerged, one that suggests the government may have been less than truthful about the state of the economy. This revelation has led to a growing sense of dissatisfaction among the American populace, who felt deceived by the pre-election narrative.

The Federalist highlighted the stark contrast between the media's pre-election and post-election coverage of the economy, suggesting a concerted effort by the media and the establishment to deceive the electorate.

In one such article, Politico lauded the "dream economy" that Harris was riding into the election, citing positive statistics such as the unemployment rate, the stock market, and the gross domestic product (GDP).

The discrepancy between the government's economic statistics and the reality on the ground was further highlighted by the former U.S. Comptroller of the Currency.

His observations led him to question the accuracy of the government's statistics. He assembled a team of researchers to delve into the most frequently cited economic statistics and found that they were fundamentally flawed. The filters used to compute these statistics were painting a much more positive picture of the economy than what was actually the case.

One of the most glaring examples of this was the unemployment rate, which was misleading in several ways. It counted underemployed people as employed, ignored those who had given up on finding a job, and did not take into account the inadequacy of individuals' income. As a result, the government's unemployment statistics were painting a false picture of the state of employment in the country.

The rising cost of living, stagnant wages, and increasing unemployment are realities that many Americans face daily. Yet, these realities are often obscured by the government's statistics and the media's narrative. This disconnect between perception and reality is not only misleading but also damaging to the public's trust in the government and the media.
The recent election and its aftermath have highlighted the need for a more honest and transparent approach to reporting on the economy. The public deserves to be informed about the true state of the economy, not fed a narrative that suits the political agenda of the day. Only then can they make informed decisions and hold their elected officials accountable.
