Psy-ops.
I want an honest media for Christmas this year.
Standard operating procedure when a Republican is president. When Biden was potato in chief, it was silence, silence, silence as gas, food, and interest rates skyrocketed.
The “doom and gloom” LSM garbage started the day Trump was elected. Actually well before then. It hasn’t stopped, nor will it.
I see it on my Google Internet feed on my Google Pixel phone. I constantly get stories about a trucking company going out of business. Now, it might be that I had read an article about a trucking company going out of business. So, they send me every story going under even if it is one man owner operator trucker.
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.
Regarding the markets…if you took away the 7 tech stocks and looked at the rest you would have seen modest growth at best. The economy has been on the skids for a while.
To continue, this has been going on for at least 30 years.
The first time I really noticed it was when GHW Bush lost to BJ Clinton. Its the Economy Stupid(good Ol Snake Head) was broadcast 24/7. As soon as BJ got elected(due to Perot) Peter Jennings announced on ABC News that the economic news was showing signs of improvement. Literally the day after the election.
The interesting thing is that we had seen improvement in the home building business months prior to the election. Which tends to be a leading economic indicator. Yet, they held back data until the AFTER the election.
Funny they hid all the recession talk during the installed pedo’s regime. Even with two quarters of GDP down.

That’s the part that your average, apolitical, or low-information person doesn’t get.
It is less of a surprise that the MSM is going to try to blow up the negative stuff during a republican regime (and especially Trump), but it’s less obvious to most people how they would hide so much negative stuff during a democrat regime.
Propaganda by omission came into full light after four years of hiding Biden’s cognitive deficiencies after it blew up in their face, and that may have contributed to people’s skepticism, but they have no real clue how deliberate the bias is.
Turn off the tv. Stop doomscrolling. Tune it out. The reality of your situation and the situation of the world at large is much better than the MSM wants you to believe. As the great QB Aaron Rodgers once said, RELAX🤣
Yes, and I dare state that the administration should address this as well.
Long overdue for someone to make the case in a court of law that the msm is nothing but a tool of special interests, overwhelmingly the left.
To what end is debatable. But it needs to happen. Clearly, they are collectively an enemy of the state and the free market has been corrupted.
Just as the the media ONLY posts war-dead when Republicans are president. I remember that going back to Vietnam.
Like Charles Dickens, they get paid by the word. Writing words pays even if they don’t really contribute to the main story
Danielle DiMartino Booth and others were reporting all the closures and layoffs and mortgage defaults and lots of other ominous news in 2024. The MSM of course ignored it.
It made me think at the time that if I were a Democrat, I’d want to lose the 2024 election so that a Republican would be in office when all those ugly economic chickens came home to roost (along with the Ukrainian war chickens).
Well, Kamala lost which is a very, very good thing. Chickens just inevitably will roost, though.
Doom and Gloom sells.
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!
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.
