Big 3 Censor Small Business Confidence CRASHING After Election Results
NewsBusters ^ | 12/1/2020 | Joseph Vazquez

The ABC, CBS and NBC evening news shows are trying to insulate former Vice President Joe Biden from bad news that could undermine confidence in his leftist economic agenda.

Small business confidence fell to an “all-time low” after traditional media sources and Big Tech declared the election for Biden, according to a November 10 - November 17 Q4 CNBC|SurveyMonkey Small Business Survey cited by CNBC November 30. The survey, which interviewed 2,200 small business owners nationally, yielded a confidence index of 48. This means that “Main Street’s outlook is now below where it was during the second quarter of this year (49) when lockdowns across the nation were increasing amid the first wave of Covid-19.”

Fifty-three percent of those surveyed said that “they expect tax policy to have a negative impact on their business in the next 12 months.” Forty-nine percent said that “government regulation will have a negative impact.” Furthermore, the survey found that a majority (55 percent) of small business owners believe Biden would be “bad for small business.”

These results are an indictment on the expected effects Biden’s atrocious economic plans of high taxation and regulation will have on the U.S. economy if implemented. But, like the good liberal networks they are, ABC’s World News Tonight, CBS Evening News and NBC Nightly News all ignored reporting the story during their Nov. 30 broadcasts last night.

The same media that attacked Trump on virtually everything he said or did will run cover for and protect Biden every step of the way. These networks are nothing more than purveyors of propaganda.

Watching the stock market as I usually do during the day. Big tech is near an all time high (QQQ specifically).

The FANG is obviously salivating at the idea of getting fully involved with China again.

I don’t know how exactly, but I think the MSM is controlled by China, either directly or just through China’s U.S. proxy, the Democrat Party.

Lay off the media. Nobody cares what they have to say.
Nobody wants to watch fake news.

I was responding to another poster's comment about the media and how they are covering for Biden.

And as to "nobody" caring what they have to say, about half of the U.S. (brain dead though they may be) is still watching the MSM.

Our government (read Deep State) could find out if they really wanted to know. Or maybe they do know and suppress it.

Whatever, I think you’re right about China being a wellspring of money that funds a lot of activities on the Left.

If you can move money or assets overseas do so after December 15 if the Biden steal is successful.

Re reading “Vampire Economy” Gunter Reiman.
No wonder Big Business and Big Government are so giddy.

Businesses have to start cutting back on staff and on expansion plans...RAT policies will kill them otherwise.
