‘No. Just no.’ Journo learns ‘new word’ at WH press briefing (only ONE problem)
The journalistic profession isn’t polling so well these days. Stuff like this isn’t likely to do it any favors:
The Trump administration has 133 nominees waiting for a vote and we learned a new word in the briefing, "stagflation"!

Granted, nobody knows everything … but it seems like as a White House correspondent, April Ryan should know that “stagflation” is hardly a “new word.”
c'mon. https://t.co/oui9sWaTWQ

C’mon, indeed.
Well that's embarrassing for you

A NEW word? How young are you???

It isn't her youth that's a problem, it's her ignorance.

No. Just no. Not everything is new and shocking. Look up Carter. https://t.co/kUrEH2vg7C

Stagflation is totally a new word and not a textbook economic term that has been around for 50+ years. https://t.co/CSnItVpoCP

Dear April. That word has been around since the late '70's, early 80's. You are still young, unlike some of us!

Oh lord. Public history will tell you that we who remember the term, is not a new word. You youngs need to read history from say the 70s…

Stagflation is the term that comes from Carters era. Even I know this AND I AM NOT EVEN LIVING IN THE US FFS.

"Stagflation" disproved Keynesian econ and was quite a bit of How You Got Reagan. Would not be shocked journos never learned about it. https://t.co/FfKFbMZC02

Absolutely inexplicable.

Sadly, totally explicable.
