CNN cuts away from Biden inflation reduction party as stocks plunge

CNN anchors called out President Biden on Tuesday while the network aired a jarring image that showed the commander-in-chief celebrating passage of the Inflation Reduction Act even as the stock market tanked.

Republicans pounced on the Biden administration for throwing a party on the White House’s South Lawn, complete with performance by folk rocker James Taylor, on the same day that federal data showed inflation ran at a hotter-than-expected 8.3% in August.

CNN aired a snippet of Biden’s speech before cutting away, with both anchors Alisyn Camerota and Victor Blackwell questioning the timing of the event.

“There is this unfortunate split screen right now with the Dow taking a total beating, down more than 1,200 points, so it feels like it’s hard to be celebratory for some people in the crowd,” Camerota said over footage of Biden speaking at the White House’s widely panned event.

No, the crowd there of Democrats were celebratory, it's the people watching from home that were aghast.

This is sick.
I do not recall anybody ever celebrating passing any law in such a fashion.

“There is this unfortunate split screen right now……”. Shows her true colors.

But Joe’s got tiger blood or something.

Tired of Biden’s “winning”?

[Alberta's Child]

It seems obvious to me that this propaganda event was staged in advance with the expectation that the August inflation figures would be very low.

They should have taken a lesson from the Clinton campaign in 2016 and canceled the damned fireworks.

Bring out the guillotines!

Just pass a law that stock price charts must be shown upside down. So now we have a booming stock market!

Vote Democrat in November, it’s up, up and away for the economy!

I guess Chris Licht is serious about changing CNN.

This is sick. I do not recall anybody ever celebrating passing any law in such a fashion.

In New York they celebrated wildly the passage of the abortion-on-demand law in 2019. Cuomo signed that one and there were wide smiles and back slapping all around. That law allowed abortion up to the moment of birth. Wild celebrations outside the Capitol too.

Remember Nasty Pelosi going to vote on healthcare with that giant gavel?
And we thought that was bad!
Leave it to Tater Head to outdo Pelosi.

I don’t believe the “stock plunge” had anything to do with CNN cutting away. The old “Fire and Rain” hippy was boring them to death.

JT needs to get back on the smack.

I wish we had a screenshot of that. I wonder if anyone was watching CNN at the time.
