WATCH: CNN Hacks Can’t Stop Treating Americans Like Idiots On the Economy
NewsBusters ^ | 6/27/2024 | Joseph Vazquez

CNN drooled over the news that 16 leftist “Nobel” economists came out swinging in a letter against President Donald Trump’s economic agenda, labeling it as — wait for it — an “inflation” threat. The network left out key context that blew up the supposed experts’ credibility.

CNN co-anchor Kate Bolduan joined forces with Bidenomics flunky and CNN Reporter Matt Egan to make sure the 16 economists’ anti-Trump mudslinging was spread far and wide during the June 26 edition of CNN News Central.

With his signature smirk, Egan bleated that the economists were warning that “Trump’s policies wouldn’t just fail to fix inflation. It would actually make matters worse.” Forget the already enormous damage President Joe Biden’s spending policies did to stimulate the inflation crisis, right Egan? He proceeded to elevate the rambling of the cohort led by liberal economist Joseph Stiglitz, whom Egan said was arguing that Trump would “‘reignite inflation.’ They point to what they describe as ‘fiscally irresponsible budgets.’”

Even in the face of the economic nightmare Americans have been living under Biden for the past three years, does CNN really think Americans are that stupid? Egan even decried how polling showed Americans’ were putting a vast amount of more trust in Trump than Biden on economic issues, “despite the fact that some of these leading economists are warning that the Trump agenda could actually make inflation worse.” The network might as well have just prefaced the entire segment with a condescending, “Attention, idiots!”

Local gas prices jumped 20-cents this week.

That isn’t going to help Biden.

To me the Nobel has become something you fish out of a Cracker Jack box.

CNN and NBC are the CIA. They are one and the same. They share many employees. There are lots of employees that work at both simultaneously. And they take direction from one another. So tonight they are set up to try to destroy Trump. They have a plan. Not sure how they plan to do it. But they will pull something. And at the end they will say Trump is worse than horrible. And they will say Biden is great. Or their plan is to hurt Trump but to replace Biden. Not sure. But the people who gave us J6th and George Floyd and Covid and stolen elections are up to something here. This is not a real debate. Its a scripted and choreographed trap. The only thing we are sure of. Is that the result will be fake. And if you realize that this setup is by design, as will be the resulting news reaction, you will be quicker to analyze what is happening.

In another article which went into a little more detail blamed the potential Trump inflation on him imposing tariffs on China.

People want to believe what they want to believe.

Any economic information needs to be reviewed in context. The pandemic screwed up a lot of stats. There is a ton of blame to be placed on both parties on the money spent, the stimulus, and the shutdowns.

But if these are not explained, with context, a person could literally make up stories that are simply absurd.

I think if either want to win, they need to stop talking about the past and start talking specifically about what they can do to bring down prices and grow good jobs. And just talking in grandiose terms isn’t going to swing anyone’s attention.

“The person responsible for writing the letter is Columbia University professor Joseph Stiglitz.”

“Elsewhere, the Wikipedia page calls Stiglitz a “Georgist.” Georgism is a movement where people get paid based on their labor, and the state owns everything else.

Georgism is like communism, except you can choose where you go to work. You don’t own your house; you rent from the state. You don’t own or start a business; the state owns all businesses. The state owns everything, including your corpse when your soul has moved on.”

Most Americans are stupid, uninformed, clueless, morons with no personal or political awareness. The latest dress style today is “homeless gangbanger” featuring John Fetterman from PA.

These same deep state trash has to pay bills. This is ideology over reality. I hope a lot of the employees of CNN and the rest of the alphabet soup media go broke and never recover.
