The New York Times had an unusual red pill moment and actually threw cold water on the hype behind President Joe Biden’s huge $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill signed into law earlier this month.

On Sunday’s This Week, Republicans taught ABC the 123s of how President Biden’s so-called Build Back Better (BBB) agenda was harmful to the middle-class and largely benefited more affluent Americans in blue states. And between Senator Bill Cassidy (R-LA) and former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, chief anchor and Clinton lackey George Stephanopoulos was in for a rough time.

How often did we hear, “The buck stops here,” from the media during the Trump years? Journalists never failed to hold the Republican president accountable for anything bad that happened in the country, whether it was deserved or not. But standards have lowered significantly with Democrat Joe Biden in office. We’re seeing this play out now as media outlets refuse to blame the president for the…

Wednesday’s CBS Mornings dove into what they saw as one of the mysteries of this current political era: Why won’t voters be more supportive of President Biden and his fellow Democrats, seeing as how they do so much to make our lives better? Prior to a segment that suggested Thanksgiving gatherings have appetizers and drinks in the garage while people take Covid rapid tests, the table…

The St. Louis Federal Reserve saw fit to patronize Americans about the inflated price tag of this year’s Thanksgiving dinners by telling them to just eat soy instead.

Joe Biden is the president of the United States, but CNN seems to think that it’s “not quite fair” to hold him accountable for the economic failures of his administration. Two-thirds of Americans disapprove of Biden’s handling of inflation, and on Tuesday’s Inside Politics, host John King and a panel discussed other people and organizations that they could blame for these abysmal numbers.…

In the final episode of The Psaki Show before Thanksgiving, Fox White House correspondent Peter Doocy went into the break with a bang as he grilled Jen Psaki over far-left Democratic Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib’s proposal to abolish prisons, pressing for answers on whether President Biden will apologize for impugning Kyle Rittenhouse’s character, the record costs for Thanksgiving dinner, and…

During ABC’s World News Tonight on Tuesday, anchor David Muir and congressional correspondent Rachel Scott were President Biden’s personal cheer team as they praised him for releasing 50 million barrels of oil from the strategic reserves; after he had to be dragged kicking and screaming to do it. Meanwhile, on the CBS Evening News and NBC Nightly News, they warned it…

The following is just a small sampling of journalists spinning the bad inflation numbers for the Biden administration.

Remember those “shovel-ready jobs” promised by the Obama-Biden administration in 2011? When many failed to appear after passage of this spending boondoggle, President Obama joked, “Shovel-ready was not as shovel-ready as we expected.” That law, noted Citizens Against Government Waste (CAGW), cost $787 billion, of which $48 billion was supposed to go for infrastructure. It was disingenuously…

Morning Joe to the rescue to lift Democrat spirits! Today's panel went out of its way to praise Nancy Pelosi as one of the "most successful" Speakers ever. This despite the prospect of her presiding, in 2022, over the loss of Dem House seats counted in the dozens. And Biden's catastrophic poll numbers? Happy days will soon be here again, assures the Morning Joe panel. Covid and inflation will…

Americans are experiencing the highest inflation in 31 years, sky high gas prices and a catastrophic border crisis. Numerous polls have shown President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris are even losing support from independent and Democratic voters less than a year into their administration. But ABC anchor George Stephanopoulos only mildly pressed VP Harris on these issues plaguing the…

MSNBC’s The ReidOut host Joy Reid decided on Wednesday to channel NBC chief business correspondent and MSNBC colleague Stephanie Ruhle in dismissing the economic pain Americans are facing amid rising inflation, calling it a “buzzword bandwagon” by Republicans who “want you to believe the economy isn't doing well” when it’s “not bad” and people “are also spending a record amount of…

Joe Biden signed the massive, bloated infrastructure into law on Monday. So you would think that the networks on Tuesday would talk about inflation and the impact yet more spending will have on skyrocketing prices, right? Well, no. Well, no. The grand total on all three networks? Just 24 seconds.
