...buries these sorts of good news stories. It's how I chalked it up to how you would always hear stories from them about how Trump's approval ratings were improving and how you now normally hear how Biden's approval ratings are always falling. How can that be? Well, for Trump, they emphasize when they rebound and not when they fall. And Biden, they emphasize when they fall and not when they rise. That's how it happens.

Same thing with positive news about inflation and other similar issues when it comes to the media.

As to your comment about Democrats championing their success on these issues, the media point I mentioned above is another reason why it's hard for them to do so. You basically have conservative media that absolutely will not give them any credit and then you have so-called """liberal""" media that wants to downplay their successes or try to credit others for the success.
