It’s apparently Opposite Day. A leftist economic think tank funded by George Soros is crying that the media lied about President Joe Biden’s economy … by trying to convince everyone that it was bad. What is this, the Twilight Zone?
Center for Economic and Policy research co-founder Dean Baker put out a nutty blog March 25 headlined, “Yes, the Media Lied About the Pre-Election Economy.” At first glance we would agree with that, but digging into the finer details reveals that Baker wasn’t referencing how much leftist media outlets simped for Bidenomics to the point of beclowning themselves into a poorly choreographed circus act. In fact, in Baker’s upside-down world, the media was supposedly just telling the public that the Biden economy was actually a disaster.
Soros funneled at least $1,011,518 into Baker’s outfit between 2016 and 2023 alone.
“As I’ve argued many times, a big factor was the media (the NYT and WaPo, I don’t mean Fox) had poisoned the well, continually highlighting or even inventing bad news about the economy,” Baker railed. Uh, what?! Is that why outlets like Politico were adamant that Vice President Kamala Harris was riding a so-called “dream economy” into the election because they were just continually “highlighting” or “inventing bad news?”
And the ‘progressives’ will swallow this hook, line and sinker. They are psychotic enough to believe the BS put in front of them as long as it reinforces their views.
There’s no way the Praetorian Guard would allow negative information about Bidenomics.
