If you’re feeling a little down about your personal finances — which is to say, absolutely decimated by Biden-driven inflation — don’t you worry. The news media are here to tell you just how wrong those feelings are!
The Guardian this week published the results of a laughable poll that asked respondents to share their feelings about the U.S. economy. Surprising to no one, Americans’ feelings are the opposite of good. Yet the Guardian saw the results as an opportunity to declare public sentiment about a subjective topic unequivocally WRONG!
“Nearly three in five Americans wrongly believe the US is in an economic recession,” the article said, “and the majority blame the Biden administration.” It further highlighted what it said are voter “misconceptions,” including that the economy is in recession and that unemployment is at a record high. Most irksome of all, The Guardian said the survey showed nearly three-fourths of respondents “think inflation is increasing. In reality, the rate of inflation has fallen sharply from its post-Covid peak of 9.1%.”
Technical limitations won’t allow me to insert two massive middle fingers right here.
It’s unclear whether journalists really are too stupid to understand the compounding effect of inflation — regardless of whether its rate of increase has “sharply fallen” — or if they’re simply engaging in their usual mass deception and manipulation to help a Democrat. (In this case, Joe Biden.) Of course, it could be a mercurial mix of the two.
For any of them reading this right now, inflation doesn’t “fall”
