    No, they are spinning the news. A headline like that when the report goes into detail how damaging it was is deliberately misleading.

    They are focussing on the fact that larger companies seem more resilient. That’s the one positive in the research. The rest is pretty brutal.

    That’s like reporting a headline “Child escapes school shooting” and then mentioning the fact that five others died in the body of the text.

    They are not “just reporting the news”.

      It’s not misleading at all. The title says it wasn’t good for trade, albeit not as bad as expected.

      I can appreciate that might be confusing for you though, some struggle with parsing information.

          I never claimed to be. But clearly I can understand the title and I understand that FT is reporting on a study that somebody else did.

          It seems not everyone can work that out.

          FT is just reporting the news. It’s unfortunate that the news offends you, but they’re not really obliged to put out news that tickles your schadenfreude.

            Got 13 downvotes on the article. Not sure why. FT is not a bad source.

              A lot of people seem to confuse the downvote button with “i don’t like the news”. That’s not what the downvote button is for. The news seems legit, and i’m glad you posted it because it’s interesting to know.
