I don't see a lot about the economy in the online version of the Post, either. (Hey, sue me -- I like Page Six.)
I think that you give the NYT too much credit for controlling the political discourse. The economy isn't the issue, not because Pinch wants Speaker Pelosi, but because voters are more interested in other issues.
The economy was doing pretty well leading up to the elections in 1968, too (the Dow was up for both 1967 and 1968), but you didn't hear too much it. Was that because the press wanted Nixon to win?
