The internet is forever! At least that’s a concept most people on the internet besides CNN seem to grasp. On Tuesday, CNN made its double standard on inflation so nakedly apparent it needs an NC-17 rating. Inflation under Biden was "falling," but under Trump it's "persistent....as high prices continue to weigh on many Americans."
The Bureau of Labor Statistics released a report January 13 finding that core consumer prices — which excludes volatile food and energy prices — increased less than expected at 2.6 percent year-over-year in December. The all-items index increased 2.7 percent on an annual basis, in line with expectations.
It's a welcome report for sure, as it provides more evidence that the Trump tariffs did NOT have the disastrous effect on inflation that CNN and others were swearing up and down would materialize in the past year.
But CNN, true to form, immediately tried to make a relatively good report out to be a bad one in a January 13 X post: “US inflation remained at 2.7% in December, underscoring persistent cost of living challenges.”
But as Daily Wire senior editor Cabot Phillips pointed out, this just stinks of hypocrisy. When inflation came in at a whopping 6 percent in February 2023 under President Joe Biden, which was just a few ticks down from the January 2023 6.4 percent number, CNN tried to spin that report positively: “US inflation is still high, but it's falling. Last month's Consumer Price Index measured 6%, down from January's 6.4%.”
But now? "Persistent cost of living challenges." It's true that Americans are still feeling Bidenflation, so another 2.7 percent is more of the same. What's sick is that Democrat-friendly networks want Democrats to win on "affordability."

Why would anyone expect a fair report on anything from CNN? The good news: When CNN’s airport contracts expire, chances are that CNN will too.
If it wasn’t for double-standards, CNN would have no standards at all.
On “X” yesterday, somebody posted a fawning CNN video story of a ride-along with ICE capturing illegals and spoke glowingly of deportations...back in the Obama era. The double-standard hypocrisy was glaring in that area, too.
Inflation could drop to 1%, but what are those prices based on? Until something is sold at an actual “sale price” meaning it has been reduced, then what have we gained ?
In fairness, Biden was falling or described as falling a lot during his years in office.
CNN
COMPLETELY NOT NEWS (CNN)
The death throes of a dying news network. I remembe the Falklands war on CNN. It was so cool watching it unfold live. Now, it’s just a cranky old man, soon to assume room temperature, yelling at the kids to get off the lawn.
It’s not just CNN, the other networks too. Just listen to the five o’clock news.
