Finally proof even LIBERALS cannot ignore. The free press is supposed to be free press. Not an arm of the DNC.

There was a time they were in competition with each other and they wanted to get the scoop and say "you read it here first" but along the way and especially after Watergate they started working in collusion with each other in order to be gaurd dogs for dems and attack dogs to repubs I consider it to be treasonous, directing public opinion rather than reporting on it, covering up just as much as they cover depending on who it may harm or help, treasonous.

Absolutely true, the legacy media is dead as a journalistic body. Now we have to find truth in other media channels. The current “media” journalists are in fact traitors and partisan hacks. They betray their profession and integrity.

To me it was the same feeling as having been cheated on, I think I first noticed it back in 2000 when all of a sudden every single one of them it didn't matter which channel you were watching they all had decided that GW Bush did not have "gravitas". They had all learned a new word for the day and were using it in a sentence. I love that last poll I saw gave them a 90% disaproval with the public and somehow they still have the nerve to consider themselves the final word on what is and isn't factual, yellow journalist pinko scumbags.

Jesus, it's like Germany in the late '20s up in here.

Ya the inflation is almost as bad or did you mean because the media is a state controlled wing of the ruling party?

The inflation rate is 2.4% - what are you going on about?

What are you going on about?

Again, the inflation rate is 2.4% - there's nothing remotely comparable to the hyperinflation under the Weimar Republic.

Care to try again using facts from the real world in your laughable attempt at an argument?

Care to explain what you’re going on about with the late 20’s Germany reference then, since it’s not inflation. Please expand on your statement.

Funny how you cherry pick. Dishonesty and hypocrisy are democrat calling cards.

The cumulative inflation rate from February 2020 to the present is 21.4%. This is based on a Bankrate analysis of Bureau of Labor Statistics data. Kinda like the beginnings of late 20’s Germany before it really went wild.

That's neither cherry picking nor dishonest - inflation rates are calculated on a 12 month rotating basis, not cumulatively, and we stand at 2.4% over the past year.

Thing is, if you want to talk about cumulative inflation, we have to discuss the cause of that and why it's fallen substantially since the peak in 2022 - like how a full 30% of our currency, nearly $7 TRILLION, was created during Trump's 4 years, but only $4T of that was pandemic spending.

Compare that to Biden's record, the pandemic expanded the M2 supply by $2T, but that then fell by nearly $1T between 2022 and 2023, alongside inflation.

The part like the late 20s in Germany is where we have an innumerate population with little sense for how government works sleepwalking the rest of us into a fascist autocracy because they believe the stupid promises of a treasonous criminal.

😂 what do you mean we can’t calculate them cumulatively? Bwahahahahahahah! oh I get it, you mean leftists can’t do that if it doesn’t fit the false narrative.

A falling inflation rate doesn’t decrease the previous years jumps.

Typical leftist, everybody is dumb garbage cause they don’t want communism. Treasonous criminals are every one in the administration who has supported importing millions of unvetted aliens into the country. Talk about innumerate people with little sense. Supporters of the current democrat party fit that description better than anyone else.

I didn't say you couldn't irrationally mash the numbers together - I said that's not how inflation rates are calculated.

Of course falling inflation rates don't decrease the inflation you've already experienced - that's what's called deflation, and it is in no way a desirable or positive thing.

In a functional economy with a currency designed to inflate as the dollar is, inflation gets counteracted by increasing wages, which have increase by just over 20% over that same timeframe.

Nobody is proposing communism here - perhaps if you were smarter you'd realize that?

There’s nothing irrational about taking the numbers over a longer period representing the leftist administration currently in power. Irrational is your belief that it’s not truth unlesss you like it.

Please site your source for 20% wage increases from 2020 to present. Under this administration wage growth has never exceeded inflation. So people are poorer every year even if they’re getting raises. If you were smarter you might be able to see through the bs.

And Smart? like inferring that high inflation is desirable how you just did? All while simultaneously championing deflation by your support of price controls by Kamala.

I cited the source it in the post you're replying to, and the current 2.4% rate of inflation is just above the fed target, not high.

Wage increases trail cumulative inflation by a fraction of a percent right now, but we've hit our soft landing without a recession from Trump's reckless spending and bungling of the pandemic, so wages will continue to increase faster than inflation for the foreseeable future.

Unless that idiot is allowed back in office anyway - they aren't even pretending it will be anything short of a complete shit show at this point.

A free press doesn't censor itself because their billionaire owners want to avoid persecution by a fascist with a history of abusing power to punish those who are critical of him.

WaPo's owner Jeff Bezos already lost more than $10B in government contracts because the paper endorsed Hillary in 2016, and their decision to spike the already-authored endorsement came hours before Trump met with executives at Blue Origin.

An important aspect of fascist economics is dirigisme, which makes it funny that Trump's seized control of the supposedly "free market" party and convinced them massive sales taxes in the form of tariffs are somehow going to make America great.

You can’t define free press much less support it. A free press doesn’t work for the administration or the political machine.

Wow - a stopped clock - somehow your second sentence is 100% correct, you just don't realize why.

Bwahahaha based on the number of negative stories it is quite obvious who runs the “press” and who avoids hard questions. Keep simping for Kamala 😂
