'Liberal' media keeps dropping its big 'but' in good news

Interesting headline in The New York Times: “In an Unequal Economy, the Poor Face Inflation Now and Job Loss Later.”

This headline appeared on Aug. 8, after more than 50 straight days of falling gasoline prices, the biggest inflation fear. Once exceeding $5 a gallon, the price of gas in many states was already down below $4 a gallon.

As for “job loss later,” what do we mean by “later”? Later includes eternity. What we do know is that more than 500,000 Americans were hired last month, greatly exceeding economists’ predictions. The unemployment rate is at a 50-year low, and employers remain desperate for help.

We must recognize that it takes a good deal of mental dexterity to write successful clickbait headlines. But when the headline contradicts the reporting — much of it in the same news source — you have an alternative facts situation.

1. NYT has consistently run down Biden

From the start of his administration they have gone out of their way to find ways to portray everything in a negative light.

It’s all part of their insistence on hewing to an ‘objective’ middle where one side has slid all the way over to overt illiberal authoritarianism.

2. Media is owned by the Reich Wing

Let's face it, almost all media is slanted to the extreme Reich wing. That is why I laugh when the Qpublicans talk about the left wing, liberal MSM. If that were true, we would be talking about income inequality, lack of healthcare, union busting, etcetera, every day.

3. Rather than reporting that the inflation rate in July was zero they disregard July

and say the yearly inflation rate is 8.5%. Now if the inflation rate was 1% in July it would be prices increased
at a 12% annual rate in July. They always find a way to make Biden look bad.
