GDP is expected to slow to a barely discernible 1.5 percent or even less in the current quarter.
Growth at such a slow pace would increase the risk that the country could dip into a recession,

It's completely true; and yet since recession is two quarters of dropping GDP, one would only phrase it this way if one truly did not understand what one was writing about. Sort of as if a sportswriter were sent to cover a game and they wrote
In the third quarter, the hometown team scored a touchdown and point after, collecting seven points, increasing the chance they would win.
You'd read that and tear your hair out. But it's all true. There is nothing incorrect or nonfactual about it. It simply doesn't tell you anything about the game, and informs you that the writer is clueless.
