resident Biden criticized news coverage of the U.S. economy as he faces growing backlash from voters over his handling of inflation.
In brief remarks Saturday before boarding the presidential helicopter, Biden expressed confidence in the economy and ripped the reporters for the way it has been portrayed.
“All good. Take a look. Start reporting it the right way,” Biden said when asked about his economic outlook for 2024, according to a transcript released Sunday by the White House.
Biden’s criticism is the latest flash of frustration from the president over how Americans view the U.S. economy.
The economy has roared back from the COVID-19 recession under Biden, who enacted legislation for trillions of dollars of economic relief and investments shortly after taking office in 2021.
The U.S. unemployment rate was just 3.7 percent in November - barely above the pre-pandemic level of 3.5 percent, which was a five-decade low. Annual inflation has also fallen sharply from a peak of 9.1 percent in June 2022 to 3.1 percent in November, and the economy has defied widespread predictions of a recession.
Even so, Biden’s standing with voters has fallen throughout the year as they’ve become increasingly frustrated with the economy under his leadership.
Biden’s approval rating fell to a record low of 34 percent in a Monmouth University poll released last week, with nearly 70 percent of respondents disapproving of his handling of inflation.
**SNIP**
Biden and his Democratic allies have largely blamed the media and Republican critics for skewing the public’s views on the economy by exaggerating recession fears and dismissing record-setting job growth.
After the monthly jobs report for September far exceeded economists’ expectations, Biden ripped reporters - ”not the happiest people in the world,” he said - for hyperfixating on inflation and recession speculation.

That one made me check to see if it was the Babylon Bee.
Defätismus ist Verrat
The Hill: LOL
The media should be reporting what is being done to this country by Biden, with a little help from his friends.
Demanding support for his propaganda.
Biden doesn’t retain the obozo’s cheer leading squad chanting ,
Everything’s good everything’s fine!!
In fact he never had the braindead cult like following that the fawned after won had while he was ruining our country.
Unfortunately it is the puppeteers behind the uniparty pulling all their strings.
The media must not have much influence, if Trump is still leading in the polls. Who believes the media? It would be nice if they loved the country and put our country first.
Maybe you should do a little research on controlled opposition.
Sylvan Lane. That’s a road in London, isn’t it?
I had to look it up: Sylvan Lane is the assistant business and finance editor at The Hill, where he helps lead coverage of financial, economic, technology policy.
Assistant Editor at The Hill = Junior Propagandist.
Lordy. Consumer debt all time high. Rates all time high. Savings all time low amd wages are STILL not keeping up with inflation. 😂. But Jeff Bezos is rocking it so…..
The issue Joe cant effectively lie about this because filks can see their own bills and paychecks
“Start reporting it the right way,” Biden said”
The Democrats can’t win if they only control 95 percent of the fake news media, they have to control at least 99 percent.
We view it based on things that are no longer used to compute for the government. Food and energy. Remember when the dems told us the stock market was not to be used for how good the economy was?
ST*U you damn thief. There’s already enough lying going on in your “media” about a real president, President Trump. You should be happy that they ignore your failing presidency and political BS. They’re already out there glorifying your worthless VP who allegedly “set a new record breaking ties in the Senate”. A chimpanzee could have done the same exact thing had Joe Pedo chose a chimp for his VP. All she had to do was sit there on her keister and wait for another tie that needed to be broken. These were no brainers. Harris didn’t do Jack.
So why don’t you explain to us what your “right way” is, mein Führer!
Maybe prices aren’t going up as fast as they were, but prices of many things has doubled and they’re not coming back down.
Fake News 24-7 every day of the year President Retard good. Trump bad. Rinse repeat and throw up
“Start reporting it the right way,” Biden said”
....or else....
And start reporting it the right way!
