- US Q2 GDP grew at a 1.5% annualized rate, with June core inflation at 3.3%, per CNBC
- Outlet framing splits: Fox Business called the deceleration 'unexpected,' ABC News attributed it to the Iran war, and one truncated headline countered 'GDP Growth Is Stronger Than It Looks'
Why it matters: The CNBC headline carries the only hard numbers in this aggregated coverage — 1.5% Q2 growth and 3.3% core inflation — while the rest of the cluster argues over whether the print is a growth scare or a beat underneath the surface, with ABC's headline pinning the slowdown on the Iran war.
