CNN and the other media companies do a disservice by not calling this to viewers' attention.
Media is culpable because they're the ones broadcasting/streaming Inflation! Gas Prices! Supply Chain! or Biden's Economic gains, or infrastructure bill. They're not covering higher wages except as a negative, They're not covering Ginni Thomas' insurrectionist activities, The Justices perjury, or Abbott's multi billion dollar stunt at the border.

We still hear every word out of the loser's mouth, and from his supporters. Everyone loves a freak show, but that's not news.
