my latest—the press shrugs; pressrun.media/p/slow-walking…
“The coup blueprint still has not appeared on the front page of a single major American newspaper, nor has any influential editorial page weighed in. Republican members of Congress have not been repeatedly pressed to explain the document”
“We’re learning about it slowly and reluctantly by the Beltway press, which instead of touting the PowerPoint as a smoking gun that reveals the GOP’s proudly anti-democratic ways, is treating the demented proposal as an oddity that doesn’t require much attention.”

of course, no mention here abt what role the press has played doing the GOP’s bidding for last two months by trashing the economy; nytimes.com/2021/12/10/bus…
Biden just magically has a messaging problem re: economy, media’s hysterical. relentless coverage isn’t a factor
when US jobless claims fell to 52-yr low this week, NYT covered it w/ one paragraph in a story shoved inside the biz section

but gee, why don’t Americans think the economy is doing ok?

this is as bad and dumb as you think it is
NYT: gee, why do Americans think economy is bad?

could it be bc NYT ran 130+ inflation stories last month?

My latest— the press pile on; pressrun.media/p/new-poll-con…
“Weekly jobless claims in the U.S. haven’t been this low since Jimi Hendrix played at Woodstock. Yet for most Americans, there’s only one economic story being told — a doomsday one.”
“By a staggering ratio of six-to-one, Americans say they are seeing and hearing bad economic news more often than they are positive reports. The new polling results confirm the deep disconnect the media have constructed”

the Biden “crisis” of full employment….
if a Republican had Biden’s economic record after one yr in office the press would put him on Mt Rushmore
btw, I guarantee behind closed doors Republicans are panicked abt Biden’s red-hot economy and specifically what press coverage will look like next spring, summer, fall when unemployment hits 3.3%

Biden coverage has been awful and unfair since August.

this isn’t even debatable; pressrun.media/p/consumers-ar…
I mean…. pressrun.media/p/washington-p…
fun fact: when economy added 530K jobs in month of Oct. NBC Nightly News did not cover the story .

when economy added "disappointing" 220K jobs in Nov, it was the third story on NBC Nightly News.
