(Mandel Ngan Pool via AP) The media’s desperation for cleaning up the Biden record is reaching a hysterical level.
At the moment we are watching the press complex in this country making strained efforts at recalibrating the economy, in order to avoid having Joe Biden saddled with the yoke of a recession. This is not automatic fealty to Joe, but a desire for a wider benefit to the Democrats. Before we go further, let us understand – the need to dress up the economy is being done with an eye on the coming midterms. Biden is an anchor, as far as candidates are concerned, so anything that can float his image so it is not underwater by November is a needed boost.
Regardless of anything promoted as beneficial, everything hinges on the economy . The hope is that if they can stave off that recession kind of talk, possibly the next GDP report just before the midterms would show a slight uptick, giving the media a claim of an improving economy just ahead of the voting. While that is a long shot, the desperation seen today is the setup for that miracle play. The amusement is in the tactics being used.
The initial narrative comes from Brian Deese, Biden’s hack of an economic advisor. Deese, you may recall, had been ardently trying to sell us his low-octane gas lighting on gasoline prices for some time already. Deese was out on Monday ahead of the release of the GDP numbers, with his insistence that the traditional measure of a recession – two consecutive quarters of negative growth – is not an accurate measure.
This had been initially mocked as indolent thinking. Except in the media. As the numbers arrived, numerous players in the press followed this White House script of questioning the long-held […]
They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
