The Q2 GDP estimate came out on Thursday. Nobody said we weren't in a recession following that, only that the current economy is not like past recessions. If you try following the news, you might be less confused.

They said that there are reasons NBER might not call it a recession when they make their determination. They did not directly say that we aren't in a recession, by the two quarter rule or otherwise.
