Economy

In an effort to instigate their viewers to feel economic doom over the current U.S. military operations in Iran, ABC World News Tonight committed what could be charitably described as an egregious act of fake news. Anchor David Muir linked the just-released Consumer Price Index for February to rising gas prices, and achieved this by omitting a key phrase.

The latest inflation data for consumer prices in February effectively kneecapped all of the media fear porn over the Trump tariffs. So what does the media do? It’s very simple: We won’t admit we were wrong, but Trump’s war in Iran is sure to make prices go up now!

Inflation held steady and mirrored analysts’ expectations in February, Consumer Price Index (CPI) data released Wednesday show.

CNBC’s Mad Money host Jim Cramer has reached semi-divine stature! His ability to use his bird brain to effectuate the inverse of what he prophesies will happen to the market continues to prove itself legendary and unmatched!

The New York Times was apparently so eager for an economic win to skewer President Donald Trump’s military achievements in Iran that it ended up making itself look foolish. 

Victoria Guida of Politico argues Trump is unusually “lucky” with the economy, saying his risky policies—tariffs, stricter immigration, attacks on the Fed—have worked out so far, defying expert predictions. She points to rising global tension as a possible end to his streak, though the strong U.S. economy seems hard to derail.

The Washington Post editorial board shocked the internet by vigorously thwacking the nutty socialist tax proposals by one of the left’s most radical icons in Congress: Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT).

Like a good neighbor, The New York Times is there... to dump a bucket of ice water on your parade! The lefty newspaper is trying to whip out — get this — economics to lambast President Donald Trump and Israel’s historic military toppling of arguably the most murderous regime in the Middle East. 

One of the most exhausted methods employed by the media to tear into the Trump economy has been to whip out the narrative that it is “K-shaped” -- wealthy Americans propping up consumer spending while poorer consumers increasingly pull back. But a new report from Axios just blew up that whole talking point.

Mortgage rates have fallen below the 6% level for the first time in more than three years, according to results of Freddie Mac’s Primary Mortgage Market Survey^® (PMMS^®) released Thursday.

Not content with Monday’s edition of The Daily Show, Comedy Central’s Jon Stewart took to The Weekly Show podcast on Wednesday to continue his Olympic-sized hot takes about Team USA’s gold medal-winning hockey teams, where he also threw in some bad takes about health care in a capitalist system for good measure.

It’s been proven that CNN will never give President Donald Trump an inch on a “strong” economy without taking logic and twisting it into such an amorphous pretzel to take nonsensical jabs at his record anyway.

Despite having been painted a picture by the liberal media that the new CBS News would become something akin to MAGA TV, it has been anything but. Wednesday’s CBS Mornings reacted with negative narratives about President Trump’s “contentious” 2026 State of the Union speech, “clash[ing] with Democrats” and painting a supposedly dour economy as strong.

As we’ve documented recently at NewsBusters, CBS’s flagship newscasts have shown little wholesale changes under editor-in-chief Bari Weiss that we both initially saw and as had been reported. Instead, it’s been more of the same liberal drivel. But ironically, there have been a few moments at NBC where it’s come across as this was the network she actually leads and such was the case on…
