It becomes clearer that most journalists would rather have Democrats in power than a good economy
American Thinker ^ | 08/31/2019 | Jack Hellner

The public is treated to a continuous barrage of stories saying how we might be headed to a recession.

The source of all the negative reporting on the economy is that almost all of the media wants a Democrat elected in 2020 and people who pretend to be journalists know that if the economy is going well and people feel good about the economy, it would be likely that Trump would be elected. Pocketbook issues win.


Like everything else, whether it is fictitious Russian collusion, claiming Trump is mentally incompetent, claiming everyone hates us overseas, and playing the race card, the media is essentially campaigning for Democrats instead of doing their job of reporting the truth.

The strategy appears to be working somewhat because, despite record job openings, wages rising faster than any time while Obama was in office, and record low unemployment, especially for minorities and the less-educated, tax cuts that benefitted almost everyone, stock markets near record highs, many people have been indoctrinated to believe the economy is collapsing.

New poll has bad news for Trump. Voters think the economy is getting worse

Trump's strongest case for reelection is arguably the economy — he says so himself. But that argument might be slipping with voters, according to the latest Quinnipiac University poll. 

For the first time since Mr. Trump won the presidency in 2016, more registered voters say the country's economy is getting worse than say it's getting better. Voters still think the economy is good, but of those polled, 37% say the economy is getting worse, compared with 31% who say it's getting better and 30% who say it's staying the same.

Just look at any major city in these United States that has been under democRAT/Communist control for the past 50 years and you have a perfect example of just how worthless those people and their agendas are.

It doesn’t help matters, that beside Trump many/most “leading” Republicans agree with the dems and the media.

Romney, Ryan, Bush, Kasich, etc.

I know a number who live in the poorest area and they STILL can’t see the light, not even close.

I know mostly women though. I think the menfolk are coming around more to Trump

They vote MUCH more for Trump than black women did.

Journalists care nothing about people; they just want their authoritarian friends running the world.
This is what it is all about:

“In the next century, nations as we know it will be obsolete; all states will recognize a single, global authority. National sovereignty wasn’t such a great idea after all.”

Strobe Talbot, President Clinton’s Deputy Secretary of State, as quoted in Time, July 20th, 1992.

The implicit promise of a government pension for loyal journalists is just too much temptation to overcome. :)

[ It becomes clearer that most journalists would rather have Democrats in power than a good economy ]

Until they get the economic collapse they’re hoping for.

When the U.S.A. looks like Detroit with a gay pride parade, then the Democrats will have found their Utopia.

What is clear is that Satan is in charge of the liberal, socialist agenda.

Unless the culture repents and returns to God, He will let our passions lead us astray. Do not expect victory over evil in this lifetime.

That has been so for at least 60 years.

If that's the case, then all the wars will be civil wars.

Elected enough democrats and every large city will become a violent hellhole with people pooping on the sidewalks.

What the hell's the matter with people?

Can't they see what democrats bring to the table? Elect Booker and you'll have lead in your water and corrupt agencies that turned a blind eye while benefiting from the misery they cause...

Liberal ARE the hellhole...

Remember when George W Bush said something about wanting to improve unemployment back in 2000 and we got a nonstop barrage of “he’s talking down the economy! He’s evil! he wants people to suffer!” from the media? I do. I think of it every time I see them publish a hopeful prediction of imminent recession.

Excellent, posting the Strobe Talbott line.

Strobe Talbott

Born: April 25, 1946 (age 73 years), Dayton, OH

Party: Democratic Party

[“In the next century, nations as we know it will be obsolete; all states will recognize a single, global authority. National sovereignty wasn’t such a great idea after all.”

Strobe Talbott, President Clinton’s Deputy Secretary of State, as quoted in Time, July 20th, 1992.]

"It's a big idea - A New World OrderTM" - GHWB

Just One of Several Mentions of 'New World Order'

'... we have before us, the opportunity to forge, for ourselves and future generations, a New World Order ... when we are successful, ***and we will be***, we have a real chance at this New World Order ... a credible United Nations ... to fulfill the promise and vision of the U.N.'s founders'

New World Order - Longer Version

GHWB also called for 'peace and security' - EXACTLY what the Bible prophesies in the English Standard Version:

when we are successful, ***and we will be***, we have a real chance at this New World Order

“Journalists care nothing about people; they just want their authoritarian friends running the world.”

And they are dumb enough to think that they’ll either be in charge OR be permitted to keep reporting if that happened.

One look at Democrat-run cities tells quite a tale. Los Angeles, New York City, Detroit, San Francisco, St. Louis, New Orleans, etc.

The American liberal voter must be among the dumbest people on the planet. Nobody votes to destroy their own country. Except today’s liberals.
