No matter what MSM outlet one chooses we see political pundits telling Americans the U.S. economy is doing great, thriving even.
They tell us breathlessly that inflation is down, which it is, from its peak, yet it is not only still above the target rate of 2%, but is beginning to rise again as of March’s release of February’s numbers. They claim that unemployment is down, yet those numbers are on the rise again as well.
The reason why the media is so desperate to convince Americans that they can’t believe their own eyes, wallets or bank accounts is simple. They will do anything, including straight up lying, to protect Biden and get him reelected, rather than see four more years of Trump.

Then we get to their methods of dishonesty, such as using the peak of inflation, which was 9.1% in June 2022, to compare the 3.2% inflation seen in February 2024. This allows them to claim how much better “inflation” is, despite the fact that the 3.2% for last month, was on top of the 4.1% yearly average for 2023, one top of the 8% yearly average of 2022, on top of the 4.7% average for 2021.
So yes, inflation is down to 3.2% in February 2024, from the 9.1% in June 2022, but prices are still 20% higher than when Biden took office.
This is the reason that no matter how much the media tells Americans how good things are for them economically, the polls are not reflecting that for Biden, because Americans tend to survey and vote using their wallet.
Those facts are encapsulated in one headline by the NYT, where they tell Americans the economy is doing better, and there is a “bright economic mood,” but isn’t “translating into support for Biden.”
Let me fix that headline for them: “Media’s claims of a brighter economic mood is their own wishful thinking, hence Biden economic poll numbers sucking.”
Is that blunt enough?
