GUYS, the Times wrote a piece abt inflation (I know, right??) and said it "could" hurt Dems in elections that are 345 days away.

nytimes.com/2021/11/21/us/…
facts abt economy:

crude oil down
supply chain easing
jobs way up
wages up
consumer demand red hot

media: but inflation!!
more here; pressrun.media/p/everything-t…
NYT could easily do a story on how Biden restoring Thanksgiving and family gatherings after they were canceled last yr bc of Trump's gross negligence "could" help Dems in elections.

but they never will
actually, NYT ran two big inflation stories today

bc, of course

another Biden “crisis” evaporates
reminder: pressrun.media/p/everything-t…
"What’s revealing is how the Beltway media remain overly fixated on inflation, while often turning a blind eye to all the signs of a surging economy. In other words, if it’s bad news for Biden, then it’s treated as Big News."

GUYS they finally did a Biden Voter story….abt ones who won’t vote for him

you can’t make this stuff up.
oh that highlighted quote? came from lifelong Republican who voted for D first time ever in 2020
“amid economic woes” is a nice touch

-huge jobs gains
-unemployment projected to be 3.5% 2022
-unprecedented increase in worker wages
-soaring consumer demand

already so bored of Dems Doomed Midterm coverage for elections 50 wks away

notice how none of the reports note it’s entirely possible unemployment rate Nov 2022 will be 3.5% and Dow Jones sitting at 45,000?
good grief this is same Beltway press that thought “caravans” were going to save GOP during 2018 midterms

they lost 40 seats
press after Va Gov race: everything is going to be exactly the same in Nov. 2022! nothing in the political landscape will be altered!

meanwhile, Fox News hasn't mentioned CRT once in two weeks.

my latest—the media wheels are coming off; pressrun.media/p/washington-p…
“The Post hit Biden for not inciting general panic with his public comments regarding the challenges the U.S. faces today, as we come out of an unprecedented global pandemic, which has scrambled economies around the world.”
something has gone seriously wrong w/ the WashPost newsroom this year

he took US vaccination rate from 1% to 75%

but that always gets flushed down memory hole in media “messaging” stories
can’t make this up. premise of WP piece is Biden refuses to talk abt how awful everything is !
last president lied every time his lips moved

WP hits Biden bc he’s not pessimistic enough

re-posting this from 13 months ago in light of news that (surprise!) Trump team hid Covid info and let people die on purpose; pressrun.media/p/of-course-tr…
all of this was painfully obvious in 2020 but press was too scared to say so
"Relentlessly giving him the benefit of the doubt, the press stressed Trump was "slow" to respond, and "missed" the Covid-19 warnings — he just didn't "see" it coming, which is why America's response has been so pitiful, incoherent and deadly. "
