[Peace-discuss] Media: Play Fair With Economic Reporting on Greece

[Robert Naiman]

The OECD disputes the Greek government's projections of a return to
(modest) economic growth in 2014. Reporting that is fair game. But if media
are going to report that the OECD disputes the Greek government's
projections, they should also report that the IMF's projection for Greece
in 2014 agrees with that of the Greek government, not with the OECD.
Failing to report this key fact is bad economic reporting, and could
contribute to keeping Greece in recession.
