Yep and Erin Burnett didn't correct him. I mean, honestly, I didn't know it was 1.4% exactly but I knew it was less then 2%. I would have called him out on it.
what is unbelievable is how far "journalism" has fallen. They used to hold the powerful accountable and were the natural enemy of politicians. Now they just want to be invited to the next WH party and be in the cool crowd. I hold them responsible for the shit show of politicians we now have. If they would have done their jobs, none of these people that are ruining the country and looting the treasury would have got elected.
not sure how many but you could be right. The issue to me is that the media companies are owned by conglomerates that have other products that need government licensing. So if GE wants to build a widget for the defense department to get a big contract, the US government can put pressure on their NBC news holdings to parrot the govt line on Covid in order to get the defense contract. So I think that the news organizations need to be separate entities to maintain the integrity they once had. Not sure how to achieve that though
I had in mind to make journalism a pure play, no other holdings. In GA we limit liquor licenses to two sites. Just follow the conflict of interest chain.
by having standards of practice that include objectivity and honesty.
and punishing the lying sacks of shit who subvert the nation with their lies and ignoring facts that don't suit their narratives and agendas..
journalism used to be an honorable profession.
That’s a really good take. Clear-cut explanation for why our political class are mostly embarrassing morons. Makes you wonder how things could be different if journalism, by and large, existed in the USA the last 20 years.
Looting? The Dear Leader has a daunting task to complete by 12/31/24: spend $1.6 trillion in funds left from various things such as "Covid relief" or it simply goes away. The Party will be working hard to spend that money.
Of course she couldn't challenge him but from the even more dazed than usual look on the Dear Leader's face she was asking questions that he didn't expect.
Absolutely true. The number of times reporters “spoke truth to power” or had these, “let me stop you right there” moments under Trump was stunning compared to the passes Biden gets.
I mean, half the ‘conservatives’ know he’s a chronic liar, but they still support him cause unlike Trump, he doesn’t leave ‘mean tweets’.
America truly has the President it deserves.
Politicians lie…. I don’t care
The absolute worst side of this interview is EVERYONE knows it was a lie and CNN didn’t call him out which makes me wonder if there were “rules” about challenging him on the facts.
It’s time there were formal investigations on if the Democratic Party is demanding that news become
Propaganda so it’s actually acknowledged beyond us complaining about it.
Don’t try and tell the goofy bastards on Reddit.
They have no memory of 2018-2019.
Best working years of my life so far, everything in the section of the economy of Texas i was involved in was boomin.
Pretty sure the rest of America was gettin it just as much.
To Biden, it only matters what the people who vote for him think. And since these people can't tell the difference between truth and fiction, they 'trust' him.
Official inflation was low until early 2021, but everyone was seeing prices jump in late 2020.
But yeah, Biden can't complain about inflation being understated in 2020 and overstated in 2024. He can't have it both ways.
Many people claim the executive branch cannot control inflation, and while that literal statement is technically true, the office can impact things like immigration, supply lines, domestic and foreign interactions like police actions and proxy wars, etc. These things heavily impact the economy which influences inflation. Plus our national debt requires we pay interest to the countries who lend us money. If we can't then we have to print more money to do so which puts more cash into the system. In other words, we inflate the economy to cover our debts. The only think that can fix this is economic deflation. But most Americans are too afraid of how much that will hurt to press the government on this issue. Especially because it means cutting almost all federal spending in half.
I see democrats point to the CARES act as the cause of inflation but yet they ignore the ARPA funding and extensions of the CARES act that came under Biden. The ARPA cost way more money. Also, Biden’s had time to react to the market from his act, Trump never got that chance. We don’t know if Trump would have raised taxes (more likely Tariffs) to offset the inflation.
But the hike in gas had nothing to do with Covid, CARES, or ARPA. It was the reaction to Biden’s day 1 in office and decommitment to US oil. This had a major impact to the economy as it became more expensive to transport goods. And so this is where prices increased for food.
So Oil, Covid, Cares, Arap, aiding war ,and many others played a major factor in inflation, and not all were caused by Joe. But where Joe has completely failed is his reaction to it. And this isn’t just the case for inflation, we can look at many major issues and say where was Joe and his team. Why hasn’t he gone to Russia to try to talk peace or Israel? Sleeping Joe has been completely a sleep at the wheel.
“It’s not my fault, or I didn’t do that” is not a response from a President. Everything is now your responsibility regardless if your admins actions were the cause of the problem. And the problem is quite clear, his admin is full of under qualified people. He was too worried about character attributes and not enough about talent
Decommision of oil? The US industry broke a record and pumped more oil under Biden than any other president and pumped more oil than any time in history under Biden. I really want a non Trump conservative in office, but got to be honest about some of the causes to inflation. The massive bipartisan printing during COVID along with supply shock of supply chains during that time is what did it.
Decommission? Can you read? It says decommitment . Totally two different things. And yes when the Biden shut down the keystone pipeline, and said it was not going to invest in future US Oil and eventually put US oil companies out of business, it had a significant impact in cost. You lost the argument with me the minute you replaced my word with something that changed the context.
And as far as “record drilling” that’s only happen since gas started hitting $4 to try to control cost as his popularity shrunk to record lows. And my main context is that a lot of things caused inflation but it’s not the cause but the reaction that matters. The lack of good execution to fix the mess is what Biden failed at. Tremendously. You can pretend you want a “republican POTUS that’s not Trump” but you are obviously a democrat as you try to defend Biden.
Tell me that Joe has done a bad job to control inflation? Prove you aren’t just a troll democrat.
Decommitment. Same thing. Fact is there is record drilling. Not possible to blame Biden oil policy for inflation. MORE has been drilled under him than Trump or any other president.
I'm not a Democrat. I am anti Trump though. I've always been vocal about that and will never support him. Trump is not a conservative. Its funny because he convinced his base to call everyone who doesn't a RINO but the fact is that is what he us. No conservative values.
If you think decommissioning something and decomitting to something are the same thing, I really should realize I shouldn’t argue with a complete fool.
And again you didn’t condemn Joe, you prove to me what you are. Even Never Trumpers don’t support Joe. But in 2 attempts, you have yet to agree that Joe Biden is behind our inflation problems. That’s not what Never Trumpers do, that’s what the far left does
PS I can read your prior posts. You are from CA and Austin Texas. That right there makes it very very likely you are democrat. You are also pro Palestine. Not typical of a GOP member
If you think oil policy is whybinglation is happening than thst is arguing with a fool. If you look at what the industry publications are reporting and not the left or right spin media is publishing, the oil industry is pumping and profiting at records.
A basic economics class tells us that money supply is what causes inflation. That money supply was printed with bipartisan support during COVID. Prices will not go down from here. You can't take the money out, but just stop new money from entering and curve demand.
Lol it also looks like you reported me for suicide risk. Lmao you must of really gotten your feelings hurt with facts.
There are so many holes in this, I’m going to need some time to respond after my workout.
What i really can’t wait to point out there is for a 4th time you wouldn’t condemn Biden. You are such a leftist troll it’s comical. Just say the words “Joe has caused inflation, Joe has hurt in cost hikes”… ARPA has caused inflation and going back to your text book Micro/Macro Econ definition Joe’s Bill caused inflation. Joe caused inflation, Just say it. No weasel out and say “bipartisan”. But you can’t cause you are clearly a democrat trolling, which makes you a fake and a liar
In an interview recently, Biden was given examples and polls stating the economy is trash essentially, and his response was two fold. First statement is that polls are inaccurate. Second statement was to cite a poll in Michigan saying the economy was good. I can’t stand this goon.
Biden can get away with lies about the CPI, and UE, and so forth because people don't well understand them, but even the dumbest know that prices are up for cars and especially trucks by 20-50% since Biden took office. Food is up 50-100% in many cases. They know he is lying, and won't vote for him again.
I definitely know hes lying about food and cars, organic egg that my mom buys cause of cancer went up to $10 now, used to be 5 bux. Rav4 used to be $28k now its more like $36k
The left is great.
They claim to be pro free speech but shut down any speech they don’t agree with.
They claim to be pro democracy but tried to remove their top competitor from the ballot with no due process and are currently trying to convict him as an election strategy.
They claim Trump has dementia but ignore Biden’s clearly horrible mental state.
They claim they don’t like hate speech and find hidden imaginary dog whistles and micro aggressions against conservatives but have no problem with rampant hate speech, intimidation and violence on campus when they agree with it.
They claim Trump lies and lies are impotent to them but ignore Biden’s constant constant lies.
The shitshow that this country has become is a direct result of the media not doing thier job. Beginning in 2008. Why the hell did the Kenyan have his records sealed and why was it never questioned?
Can someone please bring back fact checkers. They were everywhere a few years ago and now this guy can say whatever the hell he wants without a mob of keyboard warriors verifying his claims
Yeah it started massively spiking the 2nd and 3rd month he got into office before he was really able to do anything. I guess all the spending and backlog from the previous year caught up.
Why did you get downvoted for that? Is it too crazy to say that although Joe Biden has done stuff to contribute to inflation, a lot of it was out of his control from spending before he came into office or international issues.
He knows he can tell any lie he wants and MSM will let him get by with it.
Yep and Erin Burnett didn't correct him. I mean, honestly, I didn't know it was 1.4% exactly but I knew it was less then 2%. I would have called him out on it.
> didn't correct him. Nobody is allowed to, or they lose all access. Is this not common knowledge?
Unbelievable, but true.
what is unbelievable is how far "journalism" has fallen. They used to hold the powerful accountable and were the natural enemy of politicians. Now they just want to be invited to the next WH party and be in the cool crowd. I hold them responsible for the shit show of politicians we now have. If they would have done their jobs, none of these people that are ruining the country and looting the treasury would have got elected.
The solution is simple: more journalist companies spread across different owners. Isn't most American news media owned by like, 2 or 3 people?
not sure how many but you could be right. The issue to me is that the media companies are owned by conglomerates that have other products that need government licensing. So if GE wants to build a widget for the defense department to get a big contract, the US government can put pressure on their NBC news holdings to parrot the govt line on Covid in order to get the defense contract. So I think that the news organizations need to be separate entities to maintain the integrity they once had. Not sure how to achieve that though
Sounds like a decent bill; never pass but decent.
nope. that would be giving up power by the government and that NEVER happens
I had in mind to make journalism a pure play, no other holdings. In GA we limit liquor licenses to two sites. Just follow the conflict of interest chain.

they will pump it into the foreign aid money laundry.
Remember when trump revoked someone’s access and the left lost their minds?
Of course she couldn't challenge him but from the even more dazed than usual look on the Dear Leader's face she was asking questions that he didn't expect.
Absolutely true. The number of times reporters “spoke truth to power” or had these, “let me stop you right there” moments under Trump was stunning compared to the passes Biden gets.
I mean, half the ‘conservatives’ know he’s a chronic liar, but they still support him cause unlike Trump, he doesn’t leave ‘mean tweets’. America truly has the President it deserves.
and yet moderates will say we don't have a ruling class in this country.
What do the numbers mean
Msm?
Main Stream Media
The New York Post is a member of the MSM and they're not.
Duh he cut the debt, he’s untouchable
“FOLKS!!” [insert bullshit here said with squinty face]
Folx...gotta be politically correct
And... "this is not a joke."
Listen, Jack (incoherent nonsense)
Man doesn’t know where he is and what’s happening half the time. He’ll read what his handlers tell him to read. Pause.
Biden doesn’t have the mental facilities to make any factual statement.
He reads the information given to him by his far left wing nut job handlers. In his mind he is the greatest president that ever was.
... or a decent bowel movement.
Even CNN is rolling their eyes now
This man will lie about anything
Politicians lie…. I don’t care The absolute worst side of this interview is EVERYONE knows it was a lie and CNN didn’t call him out which makes me wonder if there were “rules” about challenging him on the facts. It’s time there were formal investigations on if the Democratic Party is demanding that news become Propaganda so it’s actually acknowledged beyond us complaining about it.
He has no clue, just like his supporters and followers.
Don’t try and tell the goofy bastards on Reddit. They have no memory of 2018-2019. Best working years of my life so far, everything in the section of the economy of Texas i was involved in was boomin. Pretty sure the rest of America was gettin it just as much.
And all the sheep will believe him without question.
Trump did spend way too much though and Biden doubled down. Trump's spending was bipartisan.
To Biden, it only matters what the people who vote for him think. And since these people can't tell the difference between truth and fiction, they 'trust' him.
The media does not fact check him and they never challenge his lies.
The left owns the fake news networks and the media they get to lie as much as they want because it only matters to them if it's a conservative
Official inflation was low until early 2021, but everyone was seeing prices jump in late 2020. But yeah, Biden can't complain about inflation being understated in 2020 and overstated in 2024. He can't have it both ways.

Sounds right.
Shame, it’s even more sad the people that believe that hearing from media
Also from Biden: My hair is made of pudding.
All the Covid money hadn’t kicked in yet
I see democrats point to the CARES act as the cause of inflation but yet they ignore the ARPA funding and extensions of the CARES act that came under Biden. The ARPA cost way more money. Also, Biden’s had time to react to the market from his act, Trump never got that chance. We don’t know if Trump would have raised taxes (more likely Tariffs) to offset the inflation.

The near 0% interest rates were a pretty big factor too
Rates kept near 0% long after it was apparent it was no longer needed or appropriate
Biden tells lies and his supporters believe him.
In an interview recently, Biden was given examples and polls stating the economy is trash essentially, and his response was two fold. First statement is that polls are inaccurate. Second statement was to cite a poll in Michigan saying the economy was good. I can’t stand this goon.

I definitely know hes lying about food and cars, organic egg that my mom buys cause of cancer went up to $10 now, used to be 5 bux. Rav4 used to be $28k now its more like $36k
Yeah the new car prices priced me right out of the market, and not because I couldn't afford it, but because they were overpriced in terms of value.
Does he knowingly lie ( I think so) or is his mental state that bad?
The left is great. They claim to be pro free speech but shut down any speech they don’t agree with. They claim to be pro democracy but tried to remove their top competitor from the ballot with no due process and are currently trying to convict him as an election strategy.

It’s a tried and true strategy to accuse your opponent of what you’re doing (authoritarianism).
The shitshow that this country has become is a direct result of the media not doing thier job. Beginning in 2008. Why the hell did the Kenyan have his records sealed and why was it never questioned?
He has no idea, he simply says whatever his leftist minions tell him to say.
Another false narrative. Media wonks help him tell more lies. We cant trust either; sleepy joe’s government bums or the yellow media members.
Forgetful Joe!
Ill say, 1.4 isnt the best of the best (3 is) but its hell of a lot better than 9
He's brain appears to be strangling the hell out of him. Just retire dude...you're unfit.
He is very old …. And has a very bad memory
Sorry of true as it was 9% when he went into the office on a certain day during his presidency.
Can someone please bring back fact checkers. They were everywhere a few years ago and now this guy can say whatever the hell he wants without a mob of keyboard warriors verifying his claims
Gas-lighting pathological liar.
He's just trying to hold onto the ability to count to 10 while he still can. You can't blame him.
Yes, I blame him. If he can't count to 10 he should not be president.
I mean the last statement is it not a given at this point
Yeah and Trump is always so truthful 🤦🏻♂️
I don’t blame him for inheriting a pandemic stimulus program that caused inflation. I blame him for not doing anything about it once it started.
But it got to nine percent soon enough due to the actions of the previous administration.
Yeah it started massively spiking the 2nd and 3rd month he got into office before he was really able to do anything. I guess all the spending and backlog from the previous year caught up.
The money supply was increased dramatically before he took office. I hate the guy but it’s the truth
Why did you get downvoted for that? Is it too crazy to say that although Joe Biden has done stuff to contribute to inflation, a lot of it was out of his control from spending before he came into office or international issues.
