I’m not defending or cutting Biden slack in any way because frankly I don’t even like the guy, but I vividly remember that back then, for perhaps a few months or 2 years straight, the media left and right was on cocaine covering how expensive things like groceries got under him—and ironically, I was making less money then but the groceries were far more affordable to me than what I pay now (about max $40 per run vs nearly 60 per run, same place, roughly speaking personally).
I wonder where is the frantic coverage now about the, correct me if I’m wrong, even higher prices of groceries under the new administration? Because back then it was back to back coverage like Ebola under Obama.
Like… consistency pls!
Isn’t it odd that media this year hasn’t been covering the increased prices of groceries as much as in the previous administration?

That would be because the inflation was higher under Biden.
Also, no one cares about Trump’s age or mental faculties.
Media is for the rich people who own stocks – gotta keep the rich people delusional and abliviously keep them investing “ in the stock market –
Don’t warn the people you stealing the money from – about yourself – this is a Bernie mad off level ponsie sceme –
Voters with common sense would never vote for Republicans. Those without critical thinking skills let Fox News dictate their narratives. If that means 1+1 = 598, they’ll die for that 598 before admitting they’ve been fooled. Republican narrative creators love using outrage and fear. It has proven the most effective method in recent years for them. If Fox Mews never stops talking about grocery prices, eventually, the others will follow. And if Fox News doesn’t talk about grocery price increases because Trump is president, they’ll talk about some other outrage topic – Biden, black people, brown people, Chinese, furries, women rights, trans people and so on. If there’s a shooting, they switch topics and, before anybody says anything, accuse Democrats of politicizing a tragedy. When brown people caused a shooting, they talk about raiding their homes and sending them to prisons in Africa. Unless we have more educated people who are able to form their own opinions, we will never get out of this. That is the reason why Republicans are defending everything related to education. Critical thinkers are not desired.
You won’t hear anything about US deficit or debt either, despite the fact that both balooned under Trump, in order to give rich people trillions in tax cuts.
everything is more expensive but the media has been bought off by threats from the FCC which is now owned by this administration. On top of that the consolidation of the media into a few hands of billionaires to maximize profits means that no money is being spent on anything that threatens this administration- like actual journalism or criticism of said administration. I am spending at least $80 a week for a single person and I don’t eat meat. No prices have gone down at all.
