I don’t know if it’s the newspapers or economists I dislike more but I am pretty sick of watching these people incorrectly predict everything for the last 15 years and then turn around and say they are right when ONE thing sort of looks like the thing they kind of predicted.

It’s a convenient symbiosis: Doomsday economists get cited by newspapers, which serves him/her in publicly and the newspaper in clicks.

Simple heuristic: if it’s easily digestible, it probably doesn’t serve true understanding. I think that especially true for newspaper articles related to economics.
