PRESIDENT HINDENBURG RAILS AGAINST HIS PARTEIFUNKTIONÄRE IN ZEITUNGEN: Biden tells reporters to start reporting on the economy ‘the right way.’
President Joe Biden hit out against recent news coverage of his economic policies, expressing confidence in the state of the economy heading into 2024 and criticizing reporters for failing to represent the current economy in “the right way.”
“All good,” Biden said in brief remarks over the weekend when asked about his outlook on the economy next year. “Take a look. Start reporting it the right way.”
Biden has been treating reporters shabbily long before his brain became tapioca. Just think of the media as Democratic Party operatives with bylines to understand why they’ve taken all of his insults without pushing back over the decades. Or as America’s Newspaper of Record reported in September: Journalists Anxiously Wait For Email From Biden Administration With Today’s Instructions.
UPDATE: “Since taking office, Biden has been haunted by poor marks from voters on the economy. His current approval rating on the issue sits at 37.2% while 59.7% of Americans disapprove of his economic stewardship, according to the latest RealClearPolitics average. Shortly after he became president, Biden presided over decades-high inflation, supply chain snarls, and other economic woes. While inflation has cooled, wages and incomes have yet to catch up with price increases, leaving he president stuck in neutral with the electorate. For November, inflation came in at 3.1% for the previous 12 months, stubbornly higher than the 2% target figure set by the Federal Reserve, but well below the 9.1% high from June 2022.”
