This year, the media has spent very little time discussing the remarks Powell makes in his speeches.
They have spent an extraordinary amount of time repeatedly presenting quotes from Fed members. Little, bite sized quotes.
No mention of the sentence or paragraph the quote was a part of (context).
They did actually take a quote from Powell's speech this time. They isolated a fragment of his speech, separated the comment from the paragraph, and presented it as a headline.
This is usual practice for journalists.
However, in this instance, removing the context changed the meaning entirely.

Compulsions can be hard to resist
