The media are not reporters but are Marxists/democrats/liberals.
The media controls 99% of people so much that if they put a picture of a grape fruit on the screen without any commentary then that’s what people would be talking about. Then the media would blame Bush, capitalism and Republicans for why no one is eating these “healthy” fruits and all the sheep would believe it and repeat it.
People bought the global warming hoax , BP oil “disaster”, swine flu “pandemic”, e-coli , and a thousand other fake threats.
“The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.” Mencken
George W. Bush and Dick Cheney were getting hammered by the media for high gas prices.
Obama&Co. gets a free pass from the media,expected.
Haven’t you heard? There’s no inflation.
Of course, the statistics help when you don’t include energy or food prices. Fuel and electricity have gone way up, and that is driving up the cost of everything, at every step in production to consumption... People in my apartment complex were complaining because of 16% to 21% rate increases in the electrical rates. Kansas has one of the largest coal-fired power plants in the world (LaCygne, which has a capacity equal to some nuclear plants). Anybody remember Obama saying that he would bankrupt coal fired power companies?
Food prices are creeping up, but something more interesting us that the quantity of the food in the packages are going down. Canned tuna has dropped from 6oz to 5oz. The Orange Juice I buy went from 64oz to 56oz containers. Cereal has gone from 16oz to 15oz boxes. Soup from 16oz cans to 15oz cans. And the list goes on and on...
