I genuinely cannot tell if this is genius on the side of the media, or Hubris on the side of the media?

they don't want to scare the markets. if they all say the economy is doing bad, the markets will react negatively which is bad for stonks.

it doesnt even have to be a human reading it and going 'shit i should sell'. there are bots which scrape business news sites and do sentiment analysis to check if a news is positive or negative.
