Mainstream media urging voters to ignore inflation, focus on imperiled democracy
By Eric Utter
Recent surveys have consistently shown that runaway inflation is the most troubling issue to most Americans. This has led many talking heads and media outlets to express deep concern that historically high gas prices and generally rampant inflation might lead to significant Democrat losses in the upcoming midterm elections. The horror!
To help prevent this, Washington Post columnist Catherine Rampell, for example, informed her readers that it was a "wild fantasy" to believe the GOP could lower gas prices. Furthermore, in a Sunday opinion piece, she condescendingly warned voters to "think carefully about what they’ll get if they cast their ballot based on gas prices." By that she means evil Republicans who are pro-life and pro-Bill of Rights.
Rampell added, "The president does not have some super-secret special dial on his desk that can adjust gas prices, but many voters believe otherwise.” Yes, Catherine, I’m sure many voters think Biden has a “dial” on his desk that can adjust gas prices in real time. (Not that he’d know how to use it if he did.) In reality, most voters know that Biden killed the Keystone Pipeline on Day One, has rescinded or denied drilling leases, and has made it clear he is an implacable foe of the fossil fuel industry in every shape and form. That is why gas prices have skyrocketed since he took office, and that is why voters are rightfully angry.
