Economy

Washington Post White House Bureau Chief Toluse Olorunnipa had a bout of the heebie-jeebies over history potentially not giving President Joe Biden the, er, “credit” his economic policies deserve.

The anchors of NBC’s Today spun themselves dizzy on Saturday as they tried to give credence to two separate liberal talking points. First, Laura Jarrett memory-holed the COVID lockdowns as she proclaimed President Joe Biden to be the best jobs president “in history” while Peter Alexander tried to tie the current Los Angeles wildfires to climate change.

Our readers are well aware that one of MRC Business’s biggest pet peeves has been the extent to which the leftist media went to bat for the insanity of Bidenomics the past four years. But The Washington Post’s pseudo-conservative columnist Jennifer Rubin is arguing like they just discovered its made-up stroke of genius yesterday.

Someone needed to fill the delusional, pretentious void left by Paul Krugman at The New York  Times to tell Americans they’re too stupid to realize the God-Bless-America awesomeness of the Biden economy. It looks like Chief White House Correspondent Peter Baker volunteered.

On Morning Joe, Scarborough climbed up on his hobby horse, and for the umpteeth time since November 5th wailed about how it was only a "1% election." Forget that Trump won EVERY swing state. That he won the popular vote. That the overwhelming proportion of districts, red and blue, swung right. Scarborough also tried to make the case that things were better under Biden than he was given credit…

Since the 1980s, the Media Research Center has chronicled lefty journalists’ contempt for capitalism and free markets. Here are the top 20 quotes from our archives demonstrating the radical perspective that’s become all-too-commonplace within the liberal media.

As America heads into the final days of the lame duck administration under President Joe Biden, there are still clueless members of the media trying to sell the clownish concept of Bidenomics to the public as if the 2024 elections were still in full swing.

As the Trace Adkins song goes, you’re going to miss this, you’re going to want this back. Deep down, that’s surely the way at least some feel about the bizarre, entertaining, meandering, only occasionally informative, and stammering White House press briefings in 2024 under Karine Jean-Pierre. With part one having covered 10 moments from January to May, this blog contains the second 10…

With the networks having had over a decade to prepare their graphics and obituary packages for former President Jimmy Carter, the Georgian’s death Sunday at 100 years old came as no surprise (despite having been under hospice care for years) and thus the broadcast and cable networks merely had to dust off their files and hit play. In the first 45 minutes since the Carter Center announced his…

There’s no doubt at least some of you out there will miss the antics, hardballs, stumbles, and throwdowns that came to define Karine Jean-Pierre’s 2024 at the White House Briefing Room podium. With over 70 blogs from our press briefing tag to choose from and the topics ranging from the economy to foreign policy to Biden’s mental slippage, Jean-Pierre and the press corps made it difficult for…

Watching MSNBC the past few days, you’d have heard a cacophony of journalists insisting that democracy was already being supplanted by “oligarchy,” suggesting a handful of super-rich villains are on the verge of taking over.

In this final year of the Biden presidency, the ever-inept Karine Jean-Pierre provided a litany of verbal stumbles and word salads when under tough questioning from Fox’s Peter Doocy, Jacqui Heinrich, Edward Lawrence, and even from liberal legacy outlets. Thankfully for her, there were also times when she had assists from the press corps in peddling the left’s preferred storylines (to hide…

CNN keeps stamping on their sour grapes over the Trump victory. In a CNN This Morning segment on corporate donations to the Trump inauguration, host Danny Freeman touted how The Wall Street Journal  "identified at least 11 companies and trade associations who are backing the inauguration, despite once saying they would not donate to him after the January 6th attack on the Capitol."

Last week, we caught Joe Scarborough banging his desk in frustration as he inveighed against "billionaires" and wondered how the Democrats could possibly have missed the "layup" of beating the Republicans in November's election, given the disparity in income between those billionaires and working class Americans. Today, Scarborough made it clear that he has signed on to the project of…
