Deflation Shock

The world reeled in disbelief last night when it emerged that the media's ability to accurately report economic facts was deflating for the first time in half a century.

News agencies reported that the USA's Press Consistency Index had registered a decline of 19,256,940,333%.

The Truth's economic correspondent Charles le Tan issued the following statement:

"Period of falling prices can be absolutely devastating to the economy.

"On the other hand, so can increasing prices.

"Basically, we're fucked either way."

Charles will be on hand to continue issuing sensationalist warnings without the slightest appreciation of the issues behind them.
