CNN Should Zip It on Lecturing Trump Over Inflation After What It Pulled with Bidenomics
NewsBusters ^ | 11/5/2025 | Joseph Vazquez

Here’s a serious question: Who on God’s green earth made CNN believe it has the credibility to finger-wag at President Donald Trump over inflation after salivating over Bidenomics for four years?

CNN Executive Editor David Goldman and Senior Reporter Matt Egan positioned themselves to lecture Trump over his recent 60 Minutes appearance on CBS where he said “We have no inflation” and “Our groceries are down,” which the network castigated as false.

Of course, any journalist who’s been following Trump around for any length of time knows he almost always speaks in hyperbole like a second language. But even so, the authors railed that “Trump is repeating a political mistake that haunted his predecessor, former President Joe Biden, and contributed to the Democrats losing the White House: Trump appears to be denying the economic reality that people are experiencing in their everyday lives.”

We had to rub our eyes a few times before we realized Goldman and Egan actually wrote that with a straight face given CNN’s incessant love affair with former President Joe Biden’s economically illiterate spending agenda.

“Denying economic reality?” Is that what Goldman was doing when he ran this stupid headline just before the presidential election October 24, 2024: “America won the war on inflation. You still think the economy stinks.”

We have a lower inflation rate than under Biden. Fuel prices are lower, and egg prices have come down. Now if we could get the meat oligopoly to lower their prices (or break them up)

No one ever calls them on it. Calling them, “fake news.” every time they lie is not effective. They are immune to facts and reality. If I were Trump, I would call them LIARS after every time they lie and also threaten more law suits.

If the conservatives would use this, it makes great ammunition. But they probably won’t.
