Biden has the best first year economic indicators of any president over the last 4 decades…but the worst first year economic poll ratings of any president over that same period.

Only explanation?

A mainstream media dedicated to pushing false narratives abt this administration.

1. The GOP propaganda machine is quite effective.

2. I can't even watch Stephanie Ruhle (Ms. Wallstreet) anymore...

Not that she's the only one, but her tone, tenor, attitude, and voice have just sent me over the edge--especially on economic stories.

6. I agres.

She screws up her lips and looks like Dana Carvey doing the Church Lady. So sick of the condescending spitballing.

3. Is there a photo of Andrea Mitchell in this article?

Time for that tired old hag to retire.

I mean fuck it, Chris Matthew's and Brian Williams were both better than Chuck Todd and Mitchell. But they're gone and we're left with the right wing scum.

4. I agree but wonder why given the recent coup attempt.

7. The corporate media don't like

Trump, either. But they equate Dem economic policies with socialism. Corporate media still favor unregulated markets and businesses, serf wages for workers, privatization of public services, and intrrventionary, indefinite wars.

So they are throwing their weight behind the non Trump Republicans and pushing nonstop negative narratives of Biden and Dems.

8. I think you nailed it.

5. Inflation is real and has always been a problem politically, but also a big opportunity

People know when they are paying more and dislike it, despite low unemployment and a high GDP growth rate.

However, when inflation ends due to solving the supply chain problems and increased fuel production, inflation should recede, hopefully by the Spring. At that point we can declare the Biden "economic miracle", just like Reagan did in the 80s for himself, though Jimmy Carter actually began the process of controlling inflation by appointing Paul Volcker Fed chairman, whose drastic money supply and interest rate measures hurt Carter.

9. Whoever said there's a "liberal bias" in the media?

It's total bullshit and we all know it!

The media might have been slightly liberal back in the 1960's, started the change in the 70's, but by the 80's and EVER SINCE THEN, they've been totally aligned with the Repukes.

10. These who spout this shit on air

willingly or not are just as bad as the insurgents, trump, Bannon, Flynn and all the rest. Misinformation is misinformation any way it's delivered.

11. Right on. Corporate media seem to want a dictatorship. They may regret it.
