In a college psychology course, my class studied an experiment.

This is an oversimplification, but experiment went as follows. A group of college students were shown a paper on which a 6-inch line was drawn. The paper was passed to the students sitting around table. They were asked to estimate the length of the line. Now, this experiment was rigged. The instructor, and all but one of the students, were told to say, “About 3 inches.” Again, the line was clearly longer than 3 inches.

The point was to determine whether these obviously wrong guesses would cause the unsuspecting student — the one not in on the scheme and the last one at the table to offer a guess—to also say, “About 3 inches.” In the overwhelming majority of cases, the unsuspecting students also said, “About 3 inches.”

Now there are a few ways to look at this. But one explanation is that the consensus, though clearly wrong, altered the way the final student viewed the length of the line, as in, “If everybody sees it that way, I must be wrong.”

How much of current pessimism about the economy is driven by what the media tells us about the economy and how we should feel about it?

For example, the standard common definition of a recession is back-to-back quarters of negative economic growth. In 2025, the first year of President Donald Trump’s second term, every quarter after revisions had positive economic growth. So far, this year, each quarter has seen positive economic growth.

But a July 2026 Economist/YouGov found that 41% of adult Americans believed the country was in a recession, with Democrats three times more likely than Republicans to feel this way. A Napolitan News Service/Rasmussen poll conducted at the end of September 2026 found that 39% of registered voters believe the country is currently in a recession.

Consider the media coverage of the economy the month before the presidential election of 1992, when President George H.W. Bush ran against Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton. There had been 19 months of positive economic growth leading up to October 1992. A Gallup poll, however, found that a majority of Americans thought the economy was in a recession.

Investor’s Business Daily noted that in October 1992, 90% of the economic news in newspapers was negative. The election was held on Nov. 3. Clinton won, and that month only 14% of the economic news in newspapers was negative. As to the ABC, NBC and CBS nightly news, about 90% of the news about the economy was negative. After the election, for the remaining two months of the year, 60% of the economic news in the same newscasts was positive.

Yes, gas prices since the start of the Iran War have gone up. But at 2.5% of income, the amount Americans spend less on gas is less than during the gas spikes of the 1970s. And Americans drive twice as far on a gallon of gas compared to the 1970s.

The average income is at an all-time high. The percentage of those living in poverty is at an all-time low. The stock market indices have hit record highs, and 401(k)s have seen large increases.

Consumers are spending. People who fear an economic downturn, and who fear the loss of their jobs, typically do not spend the way consumers have been doing in recent months. The Atlanta Fed’s GDPNow model estimates a third quarter 2026 growth of 3.7%.

The Media Research Center found the Big 3 nightly news coverage of Trump was negative in both terms.

“News aggregators” like Microsoft, Apple, Google, Yahoo, TikTok and YouTube are where Americans now primarily get their news. In 2025, Google curated 73% of articles from outlets with a bias to the left—and just 1% of articles from outlets biased to the right. For all the aggregators, less than 10% of their curated articles came from outlets on the right.

In “Lessons from the Recession: A Management and Communication Perspective,” published in 1997, the authors write: “… the highly negative view of the economy in 1992 was due in large part to widespread misperceptions about its performance and prospects, and that unduly negative coverage on network television played some major role informing those misperceptions.”

The anti-Trump media clearly influences how people think and feel about the economy. The only question is to what degree.

A recent seizure by Mexican authorities unmasked a new development in which the Sinaloa Cartel is now obtaining state-of-the-art combat attack drones similar to the ones being used in the Russia-Ukraine war. The issue comes at a time when social media videos have surfaced showing Sinaloa Cartel gunmen fighting in the war as a way to get trained in the newest attack drone technology.

The radical rock ‘n’ roll leftists threw a concert in Maryland titled—what else?—the “Power to the People Festival.” The organizer was Tom Morello, the guitarist of the band Rage Against the Machine. The most celebrated guest, as it leaked out on social media, was former Biden-appointed special counsel Jack Smith, who just days earlier told a Senate hearing, “I am not a politician, and I have no partisan loyalty.”

Leftists were delighted at pictures of Smith at this exceedingly anti-Trump hootenanny, wearing a Bruce Springsteen “Land of Hope and Dreams” tour T-shirt with the words “No Kings” at the bottom. You can find it at the Bruce Springsteen store on the internet for … 50 bucks. The crowd was thrilled over the Smith sighting: “People were high-fiving him and taking selfies.”

Dave Grohl of the Foo Fighters dedicated his song “My Hero” to Smith: “This one goes out to my new friend Jack.” Grohl was wearing an Iowa Hawkeyes T-shirt to mock Republican Sen. Eric Schmitt for claiming Smith had gone to an Atlanta Hawks basketball game instead of a Maryland Terrapins game against Iowa.

“Power to the People” is always a funny slogan for people who revere communists like Morello does. The insincerity of this event was everywhere. Morello proclaimed on stage: “This land does not belong to the billionaires and the oligarchs. It does not belong to the racists and the warmongers. It does not belong to the fascists and the would-be dictators. Brothers and sisters, this land belongs to you and me. Power to the people!”

Morello has an estimated net worth of $40 million, which sounds like “oligarch” money. He was wearing a “Power to The People” T-shirt sold on his internet store for $45. Or you could get the commemorative poster for just $70. He’s always looked like a money-grubbing Marxist.

In 2007, a Washington Post reporter wrote up a little concert at the Jammin’ Java coffeehouse in Vienna, Virginia. “He’s so far left on the political spectrum that labels cease to apply,” he wrote. He sang a song wishing for the death of President George W. Bush: “I pray that God himself will come and drown the president if the levees break again.” The Post warned “the Jammin’ Java crowd’s attitude was chilling. People were praying.” For death.

When Cuban dictator Fidel Castro died in 2016, Morello praised him on Instagram for “defying Yankee imperialism for 50 years, instituting the best healthcare, child immunization and literacy systems in the Western Hemisphere (surpassing the US and Canada).” As “an unrepentant advocate of the poor and exploited, it is no surprise that millions will mourn his passing.”

National “Public” Radio is a hub of Morello fanboys and fangirls. On the Sept. 29 “All Things Considered” newscast, they aired no feature on the Senate’s Jack Smith hearing, but lovingly interviewed Morello for eight minutes about his new solo album. He told NPR’s Juana Summers, “I do fear this may be the last record I make before they throw us all in jail.” The champion of Fidel Castro added: “This is rebellion as self-care, honestly. You know, this is like radical rock ‘n’ roll as a way to, one, resist the rising tide of tyranny and authoritarianism.”

Summers lauded his “politically explicit music” and lobbed softballs like this: “It’s clear that you feel like this is a moment of urgency and potential peril for our society. I wonder what gives you hope right now?” Then he promoted his Maryland concert.

This is what “public” broadcasting is. An ongoing “Power to the People Festival” for the radical left.
