Well, its just 1 example because BBC and Reuters were only in your Imgur link with a timestamp saying in 2020 that it was a recession.
And in your only example the person (Ben White -- CNBC) explicitly call out a double digit decrease in their claim of recession. The current situation is not a double digit decrease so it's not hypocritical. Certainly somebody is going to be hypocritical in when they call a recession but Ben White's two comments you've quoted aren't.
