This is pretty much the standard pattern under any Democrat administration, although this one takes the cake.
- Some alphabet-soup agency releases statistical evidence that the economy is up, or anything else that puts the Democrat tricycle-riding President and his band of armed theoreticians in a good light...
- State-controlled MSM goes bonkers, shouting the news from every rooftop, making it the top story in every talking-heads panel discussion, etc....
- This goes on for one or two news cycles, until the next bread-and-circuses story comes out...
- After a couple of weeks, the Administration issues a "correction" that shows that the data is being "revised downward" or "revised upward" in such a way as to take away most if not all of whatever was encouraging about the original story...
- The "correction" is printed at the bottom of page DD19 of the New York Times, where no one notices.
