It\u2019s the most widely anticipated recession in history. The recession hasn\u2019t arrived yet \u2013 and may not do so anytime soon \u2013 but the mainstream media still can\u2019t stop talking about it.<\/p>\n

Consider this strange article<\/a> from NBC News. It purports to show that young adults are posting dark, ironic memes to social media in reaction to a \u201cpossible recession looming.\u201d It\u2019s a possible, undated, undefined downturn of unknown severity that millennials are supposedly now coping with in advance!<\/p>\n

CNN<\/a>, meanwhile, sees \u201csigns of a potential looming recession\u201d \u2013 more severe in scope, presumably, than the network\u2019s actual viewer ratings recession.<\/p>\n

The free-flowing recession talk in the media can create something of a self-fulfilling prophecy.<\/p>\n

If consumers and business owners begin to fear an oncoming recession, they may pare back spending and put capital investments on hold \u2013 which in turn will cause GDP to weaken.<\/p>

\u201cThe snowball of a recession has begun to roll,\u201d writes<\/a> former U.S. Senator Judd Gregg (R). \u201cWhen the mindset of American business shifts from expansion to defensive restructuring, a recession cannot be far behind. It becomes a self-fulfilling event.\u201d<\/p>\n
