With “fake news” a dominant conversation topic in recent months, we would like to remind readers that “non-GAAP reporting” has only recently became a distinctly political phenomenon, although it has been present in economic and financial circles for a long, long time. Nowhere is this more obvious today, than in the following “headline” revision from MarketWatch, summarizing today’s GDP report, before and after the infamous “tap on the shoulder.”
