blaming the media for the people’s perceptions of the economy

The media has absolutely been mischaracterizing the state of the economy, just like they do Trump himself.

Why? Because it makes them more money:

“Most of the ads are not about issues. They’re sort of like the debates,” he said.

“Man, who would have expected the ride we’re all having right now? … The money’s rolling in and this is fun,” he said. “I’ve never seen anything like this, and this going to be a very good year for us. Sorry. It’s a terrible thing to say. But, bring it on, Donald. Keep going,” said Moonves.

“Donald’s place in this election is a good thing,” he said Monday at the Morgan Stanley Technology, Media & Telecom Conference in San Francisco.

“There’s a lot of money in the marketplace,” the exec said of political advertising so far this presidential season.

Division, fear, chaos bring more attention to the news as it impacts more and more.

Furthermore, the “people’s perceptions of the economy” are based on their actual lives. You know why their lives are so expensive? Corporate greed. The core of the economy itself is doing quite well all things considered given Donald printed the most money ever in the history of the goddamn country, but that doesn’t change much when the few monopolies in this country that own everything get to pump up prices and reduce sizes simply to make more money.

With Gaza he has been a voice of caution but he can’t control bibi. Yes we should have only provided arms under conditional terms but he was instrumental in bringing together cease fires that Hamas didn’t honor and he continues to work with Qatari and other regional leaders to work out a better solution for this mess.

You say you have to hold your nose to vote for him yet you clearly have a very reduced view into why you think he’s so bad.

He’s also the first president to join the picket lines in solidarity with unions, he focuses on the workers, fighting for student loan forgiveness and proper pricing for Medicare, threatening to snatch tax payer funded patents from pharmaceutical companies that price gouge, etc.

After Trump, you should know what an actual bad president looks like yet here you are with your milquetoast “c-can we say Biden bad yet? 🥺👉👈”
