not *one sentence* in this article abt how every major economy on the planet today is battling inflation bc of pandemic
amazingly bad journalism
NYT Politics
@nytpolitics
Inflation closed out 2021 on a high note, troubling news for the Biden White House and for economic policymakers as rapid price gains erode consumer confidence and cast a shadow of uncertainty over the economys future. https://nyti.ms/3fgy341

(51,567 posts)so much that I can't differentiate between the real story and the BS of major media companies, liberal or not. The big $$$ media corporations are pushing the bad economy BS as much as the conservatives. And people are buying it too. I am so pissed off, as usual.

(256 posts)They have no interest in providing
context.
Global inflation, nope just Joe
Bidens policies.
Global pandemic, nope Joe Biden
has lost control of testing.
Jobs report, missed expectations
but no mention of upward revisions that meet or surpass
the actual job figures.
It all comes down to messaging.
Democrats have to control the
messaging as a collective, not Just Joe Biden.
...and it doesn't help to undermine
him either, "may have gone a little too far in his speech today". Really?!
