CNN slammed the Joe Biden administration for denying the definition of a recession and said, \u201cyou can\u2019t fake this!,\u201d during a segment on CNN\u2019s \u201cThe Lead\u201d with Jake Tapper on 7\/25\/2022. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A panel on CNN Monday slammed the Biden administration’s attempt to change the definition of a recession as incoming GDP numbers may signal an economic downturn. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, several White House officials have already pushed their talking points as a preemptive spin on the likely bad headlines they will face. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
On “The Lead,” CNN anchor Kasie Hunt began the discussion by telling the panel she’s “struggling” with what the White House is putting out there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
