VANITY--Has anyone noticed the "doom and gloom" articles in the MSM?

Posted on 04/18/2025 5:29:55 AM PDT by AbolishCSEU

Has anyone noticed the MSM is now broadcasting store closings, lay offs, recession, etc. to frighten the sheeple. Meanwhile, legitimate job creation (private sector) is on the rise, prices are dropping!

Funny they hid all the recession talk during the installed pedo's regime. Even with two quarters of GDP down.

True enough, yet even the Wall Street Journal this morning carried a positive article on their front page: Anxious Trading Partners Promise to Buy American to Stave Off Trump’s Tariffs

Tell that to the leftards. I have two businesses to run so I’m definitely not glued to the drive by media. But it is disgusting to see when you open up a browser the “news feed” which I generally shut off and their chicken little syndrome.

--- "I think the only people paying attention to anything the MSM says at this point are a die hard collection of 70 yo lefty women sporting blue hair, and some Conservatives who are reporting on the MSM’s lies du jour."

The two images merge into a single image for me, at least for a few....

This spawns the conundrum that some "lefty women" cosplay as conservatives, and some few conservative women have been conned into lefty talking points.

It happens every time a Republican moves into the White House. Nothing new.

It’s all about Trump. The left is obsessed with hatred for Trump. They are going to blame everything on Trump.

I understood even in high school why my parents in the 1950s, 60s and 1970s always took a big city newspaper but never read the editorial page.
My grand-uncle, on the other hand, listened to the news on TV and radio, had a constant worried look on his face. No wonder he was a drunk!

Thank you for that response. It has been doom and gloom for quite a while. The fact it is finally being reported?

There’s a lot of big money sitting on the sidelines right now. And they’ve been pulling it out of the market/companies for months since before the elections.

Gold being over 3300 is very telling on how the global economy is doing, not just here in the United States.

The China supply chain is broke again as well, but this time the charts are showing a deflation?

Look the Fed Bank and their actually bankrupt too. Literally Powell can do nothing, he is absolutely in frozen status. https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/RESPPLLOPNWW

It looks like we have entered some deflation as well: https://tradingeconomics.com/united-states/inflation-rate-mom

First Quarter Bankruptcies: US large bankruptcies jumped 49 year-over-year in Q1 2025, to 188, the highest quarterly count since 2010. Even during the onset of the 2020 pandemic, the number of filings was lower at ~150. This comes after 694 large companies went bankrupt last year, the most in 14 years. https://x.com/KobeissiLetter/status/1912678281993752604

I want the ones running that propoganda machine in prison, STAT. And, start arresting those involved in government or NGOs who have stolen taxpayer money.

The LAAP-dog media needed a new narrative after their "regretful" Trump voter story collapsed.

What really makes them happy is when the stock market goes down. They also love the insane decisions by their lunatic federal district judges. Any good news for Trump and US is very bad news for them.

Yeah even some articles here are pimping that nonsense.

Stagflation...

grocery prices are dropping FAST.

The PPI and CPI were lower than expectations and one was negative for the first time in a very long time.

Hate to ruin things for the lovers of bad news :)

The country is gonna rock.

Having read Bias: A CBS Insider Exposes How the Media Distort the News, by Bernard Goldberg back in 2001, I can tell you this has been going on for a very long time. When Reagan and Bush were in office, stories about the homeless were constant. The minute Clinton became president, they stopped. And more. It was an eye-opening book, and was instrumental in waking me up, personally.

The corrupt 'press' are butt boys for the democrat party. It's disgusting.
