Economy

Lefty outlets like Bloomberg News have shown a tendency to dial up the economic scareporn in a midterm election year precisely so they can swing the electorate, regardless if they eventually end up looking like idiots when their half-baked foreboding falls apart.

In a college psychology course, my class studied an experiment. This is an oversimplification, but the experiment went as follows. A group of college students was shown a paper on which a six-inch line was drawn. The paper was passed to the students sitting around the table. They were asked to estimate the length of the line. Now, this experiment was rigged. The instructor and all but one of…

From soft drink choices to fashion style, President Donald Trump just needs to burp and the fanatics over at CNN will be triggered into trying to concoct some pseudo-scandal out of it.

On Friday, the “Big Three” of ABC, CBS, and NBC chose not to show on their top morning newscasts a single instance in which any of the Democratic senatorial candidates who debated Thursday night – Georgia incumbent Jon Ossoff, Maine’s Troy Jackson, and Michigan’s Abdul el-Sayed – were put on the defensive by their Republican opponents. Rather, they chalked it up to “personal” attacks, and the…

Comedy Central’s Jon Stewart’s effort to drag America into socialism continued on Wednesday’s edition of The Weekly Show podcast when he and economist Kathryn Anne Edwards both claimed that conservative economics “treat people like shit.” Later, during the audience Q&A portion of the show, Stewart would also claim those policies are killing people.

On Thursday's CNN This Morning, host Audie Cornish did not let a conservative panelist finish her thought. Abigail Jackson had just called James Talarico a bad candidate. Cornish came in with "Whoa, whoa, whoa," and went on to argue that the Democrat is doing just fine. Cornish played a current Talarico ad: "Ken Paxton is lying about my record, even making fake AI videos of me. No, I'm not a…

The media don’t really care about high oil and gas prices in principle, because they had no problem spinning it as a climate virtue voters should appreciate when President Joe Biden was in office.

How much money should any one person have? When Elon Musk became the world’s first trillionaire, people got mad. “He will own everything!” claims a popular YouTuber. “He will own your house ... your country ... your government.” Comedian Bill Maher, lately a voice of reason, asked, “Would it be crazy to have a law that said, ‘You can’t go above 1% of gross domestic product?!’”

On Wednesday, ABC’s Good Morning America and NBC’s Today waved the proverbial pom-poms for Democrats who took to debate stages Tuesday night against key Republican candidates, heralding them for “pushing back” and “tying” Republican Senator Susan Collins (ME) and gubernatorial candidates John James (MI) and Rick Jackson (GA) to Trump, seemingly as wholly-owned subsidiaries.

With less than a month to go before the midterm election, the Elitist Media have fabricated a new hoax to play with and it’s a doozy, taking a portion of a statement from President Trump out of context to suggest that he’d be fine with letting the homicidal Iranian regime bomb Los Angeles and San Diego. In CNN’s case, some of their hosts do so even after the network’s own fact-check.

On Sunday, CNN’s State of the Union with Jake Tapper hosted Director of the National Economic Council Kevin Hassett. Tapper began by blaming President Trump for the 3.4% inflation which Hassett responded was 1.5% in 2021, when Biden took office. Tapper went on to question Hassett about Trump's alleged failures on unemployment and mortgage rates.

On Monday, MS NOW’s host of The Last Word, Lawrence O’Donnell, dialed in on Donald Trump’s presidency and the state of his economy, even going so far as to compare him to President Herbert Hoover and the Great Depression. Using Trump’s characterization of the economy as the “Golden Age” of America, O’Donnell criticized the Trump’s words, and inferred that he “had obviously lost his mind” and “…

When the networks try to drive President Trump's approval rating as low as possible, they avoid presenting any positive news. In the first term, they routinely skipped good news. Now we've compiled “Five Economic Facts the Media Don’t Want You to Know” as we head into midterm elections. The good news is Not News.   

At the end of Monday’s Morning Joe, the premier liberal morning show on MS NOW had on former Biden Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre to promote an opinion piece she wrote in the New York Times that lectured President Trump on the economy and political messaging around it, as she claimed Biden at least had “facts,” but Trump was just “making it all up.”
