Did news networks speculate on the potential for looming recessions prior to Trump?

I’m 28 so I might not have been paying attention earlier in my life, but did the news networks used to have segments repeatedly (like every week or every day) about the potential for recessions during a booming economy prior to Trump taking office? Watching Fox this morning and they’re talking about it but I realized I have heard this shite countless times over the last few months.
I’m not talking about economists predicting them and an article being written about it. I’m talking about panel discussions and hosts on news networks having segments on it.

Trade war chatter on CNN had recession all over it.

Of course not. Just like the war death tracker went away while Obama was president. These nut jobs are so deranged they want this country and economy to fail so they can blame trump

I know they weren’t talking about it with Bush prior to the collapse but I think that’s only because virtually no one saw it coming

Damn, you beat me to it. I remember all three networks back during the Viet Nam war ending their broadcasts with a body count.

Yeah, about 16 years ago. And before that in 1990. See a pattern?

They kept a tracker during Vietnam? Or is this sarcasm?
Posted on 3/23/19 at 9:46 am to OBReb6
It's coming. Yield curve inversion is an indicator. Just don't know when....

Like I said, every day they ended their news coverage of how many were killed and how many were wounded.
Posted on 3/23/19 at 9:49 am to Homesick Tiger
So when was the point that they all dropped it?

I'm 52 and have been watching cable news since cable went big in the early 80's and have never seen things like we see today. I watched the same segment you're talking about on Fox this morning. It's like these people want a recession. Hope and pray for a recession. Its crazy because we are in an economic boom right now and all they spew is negative bullshite.

Yes, they do. Given the yield curve inverted yesterday, it’s an appropriate discussion to have.
16 years in the industry so I’m always in tune to it on the news.

Yes that’s exactly my point. I would understand if there had been sustained downward trends and then start reporting on it, but that is not the case here. And this has been ongoing for months.

I'm not sure. I don't remember if it was broadcast by them or not during the Gulf and Iraqi wars.

The yield curve inversion yesterday is what changed. It’s a big change in the forward outlook. Also the global markets have all been slowing. We (the US ) are the largest single contributor to world GDP, but only account for 25% of the world GDP. The other areas have been having the downward trends you’re mentioning.
Yes, the U.S. has been strong, but the reason the federal reserve backed off of raising interest rates is the downward global pressure. Add the yield curve inversion yesterday, and the wrap up of an “unsatisfactory” in the medi eyes outcome of the mueller investigation and a potential recession is the natural next big news story.

Just remember The Fed is political. I predict they will pull some shite before the election. Watch.

The pentagon stopped providing the data. Turns out bringing the news of American deaths into the home on a daily basis wasn’t good for the war effort.

They are wishcasting the shite out of an economic downturn

Stop watching MSM.
IT IS NOT NEWS. IT IS ALL PROPAGANDA.
