When propaganda does not stand the test of time

Nobel economics recipient Paul Krugman, in his NY Times column after Donald Trump won the Presidential election in 2016:

Practice factfulness much?

Today, the Dow 30, the S&P 500 and the NASDAQ Composite are at all time highs and a lot of us now ignore Paul Krugman.
