 Biden rips media for economy coverage: ‘Start reporting it the right way’
by Sylvan Lane - 12/24/23 3:18 PM ET

President Biden criticized news coverage of the U.S. economy as he faces growing backlash from voters over his handling of inflation.

In brief remarks Saturday before boarding the presidential helicopter, Biden expressed confidence in the economy and ripped the reporters for the way it has been portrayed.

“All good. Take a look. Start reporting it the right way,” Biden said when asked about his economic outlook for 2024, according to a transcript released Sunday by the White House.

Biden’s criticism is the latest flash of frustration from the president over how Americans view the U.S. economy.

The economy has roared back from the COVID-19 recession under Biden, who enacted legislation for trillions of dollars of economic relief and investments shortly after taking office in 2021.

The U.S. unemployment rate was just 3.7 percent in November — barely above the pre-pandemic level of 3.5 percent, which was a five-decade low. Annual inflation has also fallen sharply from a peak of 9.1 percent in June 2022 to 3.1 percent in November, and the economy has defied widespread predictions of a recession.

Even so, Biden’s standing with voters has fallen throughout the year as they’ve become increasingly frustrated with the economy under his leadership.

Dumbass hasn't even paid for his own ice cream in decades so how could he know, even if he had more than two functioning brain cells, how much things cost today? Also I bet dr Jill protects the dementia patient from as much reality as possible.

Imagine the outrage if a Republican told the press how to report the news.

Of course they are.

What he hears in his private briefings and presentations, compared to what he hears on any news channel today are like night and day. His staffers are telling him the world is wonderful full of love, sunshine, unicorns, and he is a genius. Then he watches any 'news' channel and everything, all the polls and numbers, are totally different and upside-down.

Naturally, Biden cannot accept that his staffers would lie to him, so he thinks in his small little demented brain that ALL the news channels, all the newspapers, and all the polling companies are all lying. They are all in a giant MEGA MAGA Trump directed conspiracy to 'get him' and to make him look bad. He has said this numerous times, as did Hillary in her day.

The worst enemy Democrats have is objective "truth". Democrats like what they childishly call, "My Truth". But they hate empirical scientific quantified objective truth. Which is why they are at war with 'truth' of any kind about anything. Democrats HATE truth.
