KNEE-SLAPPER: The Economist Praised Bidenomics as ‘Unfinished Revolution’
NewsBusters ^ | 1/31/2024 | Joseph Vazquez

The Economist was either trying to have a good sense of humor or was really just dropping serious acid when it celebrated Bidenomics as basically an incomplete, pro-government stroke of genius that just needs four more years to be perfected.

“Bidenomics is an unfinished revolution. What would four more years mean,” read the laughable Jan. 30 Economist headline. The depth to which the outlet went to try to sell Biden as some kind of economics savant was a feat unto itself. The Economist fawned how Biden “has presided over perhaps the most energetic American government in nearly half a century.” The magazine added, “He unleashed a surge in spending that briefly slashed the childhood poverty rate in half. He breathed life into a beleaguered union movement. And he produced an industrial policy that aims to reshape the American economy.” The outlet must have realized that it took its pro-Biden slobbering a bit too far, as it would stealth-edit its headline to remove the “unfinished revolution” language. But that didn’t prevent the outlet from dubbing Biden as the — er — “Captain of industry” later in the propagandized drivel.

The Economist is populated with people who have no clue how economics work.

The Economist used to be considered a serious magazine.

The British publication is joining the effort to move fast- forward America’s decay.

LOL, The Economist is a joke. No credibility whatsoever.

100% correct. It used to be quintessentially conservative and one of the few sources of international news worth the trouble of reading. I’m curious as to who/what bought it to silence it/convert to another DNC propaganda outlet.

I noticed the change some years ago and let my subscription expire. When I subscriped I read it from cover to cover.

As has been pointed out several times on this board. The Economist went from being THE best English language news source to unreadable utter and complete globalist establishment trash at least 20 years ago.

Me too. In the 90s I used to read it cover to cover every week. I didn’t get a subscription because I could get my hands on it a couple days faster by buying it in bookstores or news stands.

I really noticed the change in the early 2000s around 2003 or 2004.

That was about the time I stopped reading it as well.

I also let my subscription to the Wall Street Journal expire after an article by one of their contributors praised Bill Ayers and Bernardine Rae Dohrn
