I was listening to a focus group sponsored by NPR of people who don't like Biden or Trump. They asked one person who was leaning towards Trump about what she saw happening in a second Trump term. She answered, he would create jobs.
Given that we have created jobs at an incredible pace under Biden, this would be like saying that they want to see Trump in because he would nail Osama Bin Laden.
What an incredible indictment of the media that people literally have no idea of the basic facts on the economy. And don't tell me this is based on their lived experience. They don't know lots of people who are unemployed. They get this from what they hear, not from what they see
I was also more than a bit disgusted by the reporters who treated this as a problem of "what is Biden going to do?" Obviously, it is a problem for Biden, but their lack of interest in the fact that the public is completely misinformed about the economy is incredible.
I guess I am old-fashioned but we used to think it was the responsibility of the media to inform the public. I realize that can be hard, but their incredible failure in this case is not something to laugh off.
