Bonkers: Bloomberg News Co-Founder Champions Biden Economic Performance as ‘Unbeatable’
NewsBusters ^ | 12/20/2021 | Joseph Vazquez

Posted on 12/20/2021 11:48:38 AM PST by JV3MRC

Bloomberg news co-founder Matthew Winkler had arguably one of the most ridiculous takes on President Joe Biden’s performance on the economy yet.

Winkler wrote a Dec. 20 op-ed with an outrageous headline, “Biden's Economic Performance Has Proved Unbeatable.” The piece read like a press release from the Biden White House itself. Winkler based his absurd assessment on 10 economic measures he spun to serve the pro-Biden narrative. Here was his hot take: “America’s economy improved more in Joe Biden's first 12 months than any president during the past 50 years notwithstanding the contrary media narrative contributing to dour public opinion.” Winkler attributed his glowing praise in part to Biden’s disastrous $1.9 trillion stimulus.

The biggest distortion came from a subsection headlined, “Jobs Boom,” where Winkler claimed that “Only [former President Jimmy] Carter tops Biden for best growth in payrolls in their first year in office.” The BBC fact-checked Biden for making parallel claims concerning his performance on job growth in a Nov. 24 piece: “[T]his job growth comes from a low base point, given that in April last year, unemployment hit its highest level since the Great Depression of the 1930s.”

This is beyond absurd.
Surreal, maybe?
Dada used to be a rather revolting art form. Now we have Dada reporting.

Pravda-level communist propaganda. The USA is the new Soviet Union. I want a breakup, just like they did.

Recall that recently F Joe sent out economic advisors to get the media to adopt their positive spin on the economy. You can tell who is a member of the ChiCom paid propaganda machine by their servile obedience.

And we used to think Pravda was bad back in the day.
Bloomberg makes Pravda look like they were in kindergarten in the disinformation and propaganda department.

I know him, but haven’t talked to him since the 90s, but never remember him bringing up politics.

He’s just gaslighting the stupid that America now has way too many who qualify for that category. Note: Education plays no part as the educated are among the most stupid.

Unbeatable, right. You couldn’t beat this BS with a stick.

Wandering about in a fever swamp is no way to go through life.

“I want a breakup, just like they did.”

Funny you should mention that. On the Todd Starnes radio show just today the question of a national divorce was discussed. The guest said America has reached or is close to reaching the point where a breakup is inevitable.

Glad people are discussing it. Of course, some of us were discussing it a dozen years ago, but it takes people time and suffering to come around.
