Bad Joke! Poll Highlights How Liberal Media Missed Mark on Biden Boom Propaganda
NewsBusters ^ | 10/26/2021 | Joseph Vazquez

The liberal media slobbered over how President Joe Biden could return the U.S. economy to glory. So far, their optimism has been a bad joke, and a new poll highlights just how badly they missed the mark.

New York Times foreign affairs columnist Tom Friedman spewed in an absurd March op-ed headlined, “The Biden Boom,” that Biden had a “chance to supercharge the economy.” He argued: “Biden’s stimulus will fuel an already restructuring economy and supercharge it.” He said concerning Biden’s gargantuan stimulus that “there are lots of signs that we could be headed for just such an explosion in entrepreneurship.” But Friedman wasn’t alone. A number of snake oil salesmen in the media have been trying to sell Biden’s leftist economic agenda to the American people as some sort of miracle panacea.

A new Axios/Ipsos poll of 1,038 U.S adults found that “[c]onfidence in President Biden's ability to rescue the economy from COVID-19 has dropped since January.” Confidence has dropped from 52 percent at the beginning of the Biden presidency down to 44 percent now.

Somebody supported these stupid Democrat sons of bitches.

Probably the same idiots who come here and write that the Republicans are in charge.

The liberal media didn’t “miss the mark”. They deliberately lied. After all, their mission is not to report the truth. Their mission is to protect Democrats in general and Biden in particular.

All hail the Dear Leader!

My observations regarding Tom Friedman, are that he goes to the party where he thinks the wind is blowing favorably. It was Republicans, and now he thinks it’s the Democrats. He has no real beliefs, except for the beliefs he thinks will enrich him the most.

I’ve made a lot of money off of Tom Friedman. Whatever he says, I invest the opposite. He’s like the near perfect wrong-way muse. Keep it up, Tom.

Zakaria fawned: “Trump claimed he wanted to ‘Make America Great Again,’ President Biden is attempting to actually do it.”

Yep, he sure has:

Gas prices up 47%

Food prices up 17%

inflation rate the highest since the Carter years

unemployment almost doubled in less than a year

clothing up 12%

wage growth net of inflation: -0.2%

Nice job, Joe. I'm sure China will pay you handsomely.

*Anything* Tom Friedman praises should be cause for concern. This is the same guy who thought single party system like China’s CCP was oh so efficient. The guy is an out and out fascist.

We need to file a class action lawsuit at CNN for deceiving their audience. They are responsible to Americans for the oversight of government activities. If they are lying, they aren’t doing their jobs. Pull their credentials and force them to highlight every opinion piece as LIBERAL.

That’s a start.
