Washington Post columnist Max Boot freaked out over the world’s richest man potentially buying Twitter. The reason? Doing so might hurt his dream to increase censorship on the platform.

The New York Times couldn’t avoid the historically bad inflation figures, placing economics reporter Jeanna Smialek’s story on the front page: “Inflation Rate Hit 8.5% in Fastest Rise Since 1981.” But the text box went for wishful thinking: “March Data May Signal a Possible Peak,” and text tilted towards cheery spin for the Biden Administration given the hard facts, and Smialek barely…

Some of the most powerful media outlets and figures in America are upset about Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s offer to buy Twitter.

Hump Day marked a tough day for Jen Psaki as she reportedly careens toward the series finale of The Psaki Show as the White House press secretary faced tough questions on inflation and another off-the-cuff remark from President Biden about Russia’s unprovoked war against Ukraine, including one that questioned whether there needs to be “an asterisk next to anything that the President says.”

The same economist who admitted he got “inflation” wrong claimed the economy is thriving under President Joe Biden. At this point, flipping a coin might make more accurate economic predictions than New York Times columnist Paul Krugman.

MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle spent Tuesday’s edition of The 11th Hour lamenting that voters aren’t buying the White House’s spin on the economy from blaming Vladimir Putin for inflation to arguing that things actually aren’t all that bad.

On Tuesday morning the Labor Department reported that inflation has risen at the fastest pace since 1981, soaring to 8.5 percent year over year. But it appears for now that the media is done letting President Biden get away with blaming Russian President Vladimir Putin for the devastating increase in prices. More evidence of this was during a report on NBC Nightly News where chief…

Moments after the release of March’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) showing 8.5 percent inflation and a 1.2 percent rise from February, MSNBC’s 11th Hour host and unofficial Team Biden cheerleader Stephanie Ruhle was left to be the bearer of bad news (as NBC’s chief economic analyst) for her fellow liberals on the cast of MSNBC’s Morning Joe.

On Tuesday’s CNN Newsroom, viewers were exposed to some truthful commentary on the state of the nation’s economy, which was something CNN viewers are unaccustomed to. Taking her cue from some of her colleagues on other networks, Washington Post columnist and CNN analyst Catherine Rampell admitted that inflation has been rising long before Russia invaded Ukraine, and rising…

CNBC senior analyst and commentator Ron Insana traveled over to MSNBC’s Hallie Jackson Reports on Tuesday to discuss the day’s inflation figures, which are the worst in over 40 years, and to affirm the White House’s talking points that Vladimir Putin is largely to blame.

The Rev. Al Sharpton targeted the liberal elite in a fiery anti-woke sermon on inflation. Sharpton pummeled woke elitists during his appearance on the April 11 edition of MSNBC’s Morning Joe. The topic was the Democratic outlook for the 2022 midterms (Spoiler alert: it was not good).

The NBC, CBS and ABC morning news shows largely ignored a new inflation report that showed inflation raging at 8.5 percent. That was the highest increase since 1981 — the same year Raiders of the Lost Ark hit the box office.

A leftist magazine co-founded by former President Bill Clinton's Secretary of Labor Robert Reich urged the federal government to seize control of the fossil fuel industry. Because…climate change.

In a stunningly economically illiterate opinion piece in The Washington Post, columnist Catherine Rampell argues that President Joe Biden can solve rampant inflation by letting more immigrants into the United States.
