Let the Snobbery Flow: NYT’s Baker Cries Biden Economy Great Whether Voters Know It or Not
NewsBusters ^ | 1/8/2025 | Joseph Vazquez

Someone needed to fill the delusional, pretentious void left by Paul Krugman at The New York Times to tell Americans they’re too stupid to realize the God-Bless-America awesomeness of the Biden economy. It looks like Chief White House Correspondent Peter Baker volunteered.

Baker used a Jan. 5 news item to clap back at President-elect Donald Trump for denigrating Bidenomics and wound up insulting Americans in the process. “President Biden is bequeathing his successor a nation that by many measures is in good shape, even if voters remain unconvinced.” In other words, darn those uneducated plebeians! But it got worse. Baker took his insulting nonsense a step further: “[T]he America that Mr. Trump will inherit from President Biden when he takes the oath for a second time, two weeks from Monday, is actually in better shape than that bequeathed to any newly elected president since George W. Bush came into office in 2001.” Uh, What?! [Emphasis added.]

just watch, these EXACT same people will soon start whaling about how bad the economy is as soon as Trump takes over. It will be wall to wall of retirees having to eat cat food etc.

I initially read the title as an actual baker saying this... then realized that ZERO bakers in America would say such a thing.

Even if they weren’t getting sued over fag-cakes or smeared by Whoopsy.

They know a crash is coming. They need to talk up the present situation and paint it at an Economic Utopia. Then, when things get bad in a few months, they can say that Trump destroyed Utopia.

Baker is a hard core leftist propagandist—co authored a hit piece book on President Trump’s first term.

The question is—is Baker part of Mockingbird?

See my tagline.

I was thinking “the New York Times has a baker? Like, down in the the lobby, or maybe a food truck outside?”

Who are you going to believe, the New York Times or that lying cash register?

The effect of the permission structure machine is to instill and maintain obedience to voices coming from outside yourself, regardless of the obvious gaps in logic and functioning that they create.

David is using “1984” as a blueprint.

See Lippman’s ‘manufactured consent’.
There always comes a time that the people bravely speak the Truth that the emperor has no clothes.
More and more articles are being written about preference fabrication and then preference cascade. Maybe it’s a cycle in human development. (I hate Fourth Turnings, too many square pegs are fitted into round holes. Ugh!)
