Economy

On Monday's The 11th Hour show, MSNBC host Brian Williams devoted a segment to letting liberal New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof cheer for the U.S. to embrace more European-style socialism as he looked for a silver lining in the country's current problems with the economy, race relations and the pandemic.

I laughed when I saw The Washington Post headline: "Minneapolis had progressive policies, but its economy still left black families behind." The media are so clueless. Instead of "but," the headline should have said, "therefore," or "so, obviously." Of course, progressive policies failed! They almost always do. "If you wanted a poster child for the progressive movement, it would be…

Another astounding market rally, another big chunk of good market news ABC’s, CBS’s and NBC’s evening news shows censor because it isn’t anti-Trump.

On Wednesday’s New Day, CNN co-hosts John Berman and Alisyn Camerota brought on former Democratic presidential candidate and CNN political commentator Andrew Yang to bash President Trump and campaign for Joe Biden -- though viewers could have easily mistaken all three of them for washed-up Democratic politicians. Spurred on by his media allies, Yang celebrated Biden’s lead in the polls and…

I am not in the habit of quoting leftist Noam Chomsky, but this line seems relevant when one considers our growing national debt: "When you trap people in a system of debt, they can't afford the time to think." Perhaps now is not the time in the middle of a pandemic, job losses and threats of even higher unemployment, to mention the national debt. Or, perhaps it is.

You wouldn’t know watching ABC, CBS and NBC evening news shows that top investment banks reported record revenues in the second quarter.

When it comes to the size of government, the media tend to take an Oliver Twist view of it -- "Please sir, can I have some more!" MSNBC provided a prime example of this leftist ideology on Tuesday morning, when anchor Stephanie Ruhle had on far-left Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren and urged the potential Biden VP pick to expand government into the lives of ordinary Americans, spending huge…

Conservatism should no longer be the standard for business journalism. At least that’s what a loopy op-ed by Quartz Editor-In-Chief Katherine Bell suggested. Bell’s op-ed was headlined, “It’s time for business journalism to break with its conservative past.”

Media outlets like CNN and The Daily Beast have decided it’s wrong for a Hispanic business owner to support President Donald Trump. Both CNN and a Daily Beast op-ed attacked Goya Foods CEO Robert Unanue for voicing his support for Trump July 9 at the White House. CNN said Unanue’s actions were a “betrayal” to Latinos and The Daily Beast op-ed called him a “moron.”

Between 2 million and 3 million Americans will die! That was the prediction from "experts" at London's Imperial College when COVID-19 began. They did also say if there was "social distancing of the whole population," the death toll could be cut in half, but 1.1 million to 1.46 million Americans would still die by this summer. Our actual death toll has been about one-tenth of that.…

All three broadcast network evening news shows have been derelict when it comes to reporting good economic news during the Trump era. That continued with good news about sale of new houses.

Elites are literally begging world governments to raise taxes on the wealthy in a pathetic attempt to appear generous. In a letter headlined, “Millionaires for Humanity,” liberal progressive signatories like Disney heiress and Emmy-winning director Abigail Disney and Ben & Jerry’s co-founder …

On Friday, CBS This Morning co-host and wealthy Democratic donor Gayle King declared that “we all need to take a class” from a radical Black Lives Matter activist who justified looting, rioting, and property destruction during a profanity-laced tirade posted to YouTube. Apparently CBS thinks someone making such extreme statements and part of a group founded by “trained Marxists”…

Good news. Bad news. It’s obvious which Bloomberg News prefers. Bloomberg News published a relatively positive economic report with the headline, “U.S. Initial Jobless Claims Fall, Ease Worry of Worsening Market.” Then, by 1:57 pm on July 9, the headline was changed to reflect a much more doom-and-gloomish outlook: “U.S. Jobless Claims Fall While Corporate Cuts Signal More Pain.” Even the…
