How Come Fake News Is Pro-Trump?
So, yesterday the Fed announced that the consumer price index rose a whole, big 2% over the rate a year ago, basically meaning that the ‘ruinous’ inflation has come to an end. And the report noted that prices actually fell last month, with the decrease particularly noticeable in consumer items and food, which are the big-ticket items as we hit the year-end holiday season.
Now, you would expect that a report like that would be given a big play by the Fake News media, particularly when it also turns out that consumer sentiment has turned decidedly positive during what is always the most important retail buying period of the entire year.
Not only did this report escape any mention on last night’s NBC national news, but one segment had an interview with some lady about something or other, and at some point she mentioned that it was going to be a tough holiday season for her family because prices for ‘everything’ were ‘sky high.’
No wonder the polls keep showing Joe three or four points behind Trump. And by the way, Joe’s numbers are even worse when respondents are asked how they feel about whether the economy would be managed better by him or by Trump.
I have been convinced all year long that the liberal Fake News has it in for Joe and would much prefer to see El Trumpo back in the Oval Office in 2025. I’m not sure…
