According to respected experts, America’s middle class is doing terribly—and wonderfully. Huh? In better newsrooms across America, associate producers are counseled to avoid building segments around “the latest study”—that inevitable report, issued by researchers boasting boilerplate credentials, that’s guaranteed to get a rush of eyeballs or shares before disappearing down the memory hole.
