One of the crowning moments of the Clinton campaign’s descent into insanity was when Media Matters honcho David Brock put out a pamphlet claiming that the New York Times was a right-wing outlet in the tank for Donald Trump.
When leftists claim that the media has a right-wing bias, conservatives assume that they’re telling outrageous lies, but they really believe this stuff. No matter how much the media is laboring to help them, it’s never enough.
And considering Biden’s unpopularity numbers, it really isn’t enough.
Unfortunately, even the same media that claimed that he was bringing decency back by sniffing womens’ hair is having trouble selling the public on this miserable economy.
So far the media has tried claiming that the public is too deluded to realize how good Bidenomics is because they’re too obsessed with the price of food.
No wonder Joe’s mad at them.
“All good. Take a look. Start reporting it the right way,” Biden said when asked about his economic outlook for 2024, according to a transcript released Sunday by the White House.
Comrades, the economy is wonderful. The stores are filled with ersatz milk and toilet paper. The latest harvest is projected to bring in 96% of the wheat that isn’t sabotaged by the counterrevolutionary agents of CIA imperialism. Any day now the world will realize that Communism is the ultimate economic system for all mankind!
Is that the kind of reporting that Joe’s looking for? Or this kind.
The U.S. unemployment rate was just 3.7 percent in November — barely above the pre-pandemic level of 3.5 percent, which was a five-decade low. Annual inflation has also fallen sharply from a peak of 9.1 percent in June 2022 to 3.1 percent in November, and the economy has defied widespread predictions of a recession.
Even so, Biden’s standing with voters has fallen throughout the year as they’ve become increasingly frustrated with the economy under his leadership.
More than half of respondents also disapproved of Biden’s record on jobs, even as he presides over a historically strong labor market.
Biden and his Democratic allies have largely blamed the media and Republican critics for skewing the public’s views on the economy by exaggerating recession fears and dismissing record-setting job growth.
Comrades, comrades. The lies aren’t working. Start reporting it the right way!
