Do you think the Guardian would run the honest version? Would it make the front page of HN?
Does it matter if we blame the chicken or the egg? The effect should more people like GP exposing that this isn’t real. Not that someone has to cover for the poor defenseless media that seemingly can never be held accountable for their part.

Otherwise economically literate folk look at the headline and say not true while the others won't understand what they are on about. The misuse of language and accounting is annoying because if prevents clear discussion and analysis of the problems in an area where that is important.
