Former President Barack Obama’s National Economic Council director has slipped from being the voice of reason on inflation to going full Cocaine Bear by screeching that President Trump was killing people with his economic agenda.

CNN keeps getting hit like a punching bag with good reports that continue to blow its scare porn about President Donald Trump supposedly destroying the economy to smithereens. But this time, they got hit two days in a row.

The Washington Post once again proved why its journalists know as much about good economics as they do about “austere religious scholar(s)” by arguing President Donald Trump’s illegal immigration crackdown would somehow cause inflation to skyrocket. Just try unraveling that oxymoron.

CNN always wants to say left-wing radicals are less radical than you think, according to "some experts." They're never going to perform that trick for conservatives. CNN reporter Nathaniel Meyersohn attempted to mainstream socialist New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani’s demented push for government-owned grocery stores.

CNN is the latest to suffer from the utter humiliation of prophesying Armageddon-level economic catastrophe as a result of President Donald Trump’s military strikes on Iran, only to have their predictions collapse faster than Biden on the steps of Air Force One. 

The rapidly fleeting shelf-life of the half-cocked doomist agitprop from lefty outlets like The New York Times desperate for an anti-Trump banger of a story is comedic gold in its own right. 

The Associated Press chose to be one of the first to wave the white flag and admit what anybody with a pair of eyes and two functioning brain cells could deduce: The media hurly-burly about how President Trump was supposedly going to destroy the U.S. economy has so far looked like Fake News. 

The New York Times is still force-feeding its readers agitprop that the long-awaited inflation Armageddon it's been hawking for months is still nigh. That’s despite a bevy of welcome economic news in recent weeks that has defied the retrospectively stupid predictions of President Donald Trump’s most pompous critics still high on their bloated egos.

It’s one of the most amusing aspects of MRC Business’s day-to-day routine when staff watch liberal media talking heads forced to eat crow over their blind adamancy that President Donald Trump is going to wreck the economy. CNBC senior economics reporter Steve Liesman is the latest to be found wearing the clown nose.

For a media talking head that had no issue selling Americans on the snake oil of Bidenomics, CNN host Fareed Zakaria clearly exhibited why he has no idea what the term “destruction” means. 

If you come at a career business savant like Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, you better not miss. CBS Face the Nation moderator Margaret Brennan hilariously had to learn that the hard way yesterday.

Arguably one of the most smug reporters at the flailing CNN network tried once again to locate the bad news where there's good economic news for President Donald Trump.

On Tuesday night’s episode of CNN’s The Source with Kaitlan Collins, Jim Scuitto spoke with Laura Barron-Lopez of PBS NewsHour and Reuter’s Jim Mason, who called President Trump “authoritarian” and blamed the MAGA movement for fundamentally changing the Republican Party for the worst, simply over the Trump administration’s tariff policies.

The typical suspects in the leftist media ether have been spitting out Armageddon-level economic scareporn about President Donald Trump’s trade war like clockwork. But Axios is now admitting that may have all been just pathetic attempts to get people to jump at shadows that aren’t attached to anything.
