Journalist, biased against Trump, complained about negative economic coverage under Biden

| April 11, 2022

Margaret Sullivan, Washington Post columnist, recently penned a column complaining about the negative economy related coverage under Biden. She lamented the lack of coverage of the low unemployment numbers, and further complained that many did not see this “good news”.

This is the same Margaret Sullivan who, on February 23, 2020, and on November 8, 2020, wrote articles complaining about the lack of criticism against Trump in the media. In contrast to her complaint about ignoring the good economic numbers under Biden, she had no problems ignoring hard evidence exonerating Trump from what he was impeached for. She also ignored Donald Trump facts related to what was good news for the country.

From Fox News:

“The unemployment rate is at an encouragingly low point. Less than 4 percent of the labor force is actively seeking work. And the latest monthly Labor Department report showed another healthy spike in the number of new jobs,” Sullivan wrote. “But if you ask regular Americans about the jobs climate, a surprising number of them seem to think the opposite is true.”

“This lack of knowledge matters. Political fortunes rise and fall in part on the health of the job market,” she added. “So whose fault is it? Is it people who can’t be bothered to pay attention to the news, let alone the world around them? … Or does the blame fall squarely on the news media for not delivering the news in a way that everyone can easily absorb?”

Sullivan cited other liberal media critics in claiming Biden had received “pretty negative” news coverage throughout his time in office, and that it revolved around the media’s “addiction to conflict” and “desire for a cohesive narrative,” despite record-high inflation and gas prices.

“The public’s lack of knowledge on jobs ought to sound an alarm bell for journalists,” Sullivan wrote. “If we’re putting information out there, truthfully and in real time, and people aren’t getting it, some significant share of the blame falls on us.”

As usual,a libtard that knows not of what she speaks. Putting people back into jobs previously done away with does not lower unemployment when you created it in the first place. And her statement is disengenuous anyway, because a lot of people simply stopped looking for work and are riding the welfare gravy train.

Moreover, before the pandemic put people out of work as the economy shut down, the Trump admin posted the best employment numbers in the past 20 years, especially for minorities. The Black unemployment rate was the lowest in over twelve years, including the entire 0bama regime.

In other words, the American people are just too effing stupid to realize the genius of the Biden Harris Administration. The only solution is to remove the option for Americans to choose their officials and let the Enlightened Ones bestow their benevolence upon the unwashed masses and appoint our “leaders”.

As to (see what Hack did there?) Margaret Sullivan, she looks like Hillary Clinton after an all night bender. She has a face made for the radio.

Comrade Sullivan is preaching the truth to all of you… she will be one of many to craft our message of making this a workers utopia and following the lead of our Chinese masters in the pursuit of this goal!

No sense trying to correct her. As my wife said, “You can’t argue with idiots.”

Dumbazz skrunt. The only person that is impressed with today’s “urinalism” is Randolph Hearst. And he’s grinning. The rest of us don’t care to listen to the talking heads and their blather. All part of the plan Comrade.

Math was never my strongest subject, but I was hell on ‘rithmetic. Never could get past that whole “pie are square” thing. I do know this. Yesterday, while on escort duty, I filled up Little Josey, The Gray Rider”, with some premium non enthynol gasoline. Cost me $4.79 a gallon from my local American owned store. Last year this time it was $2.49 a gallon (regular unleaded was $1.79). I hit the K Roger in the little big town and bought some items that I purchase on a regular basis. Total bill was $140.00. Last year this time that same total was $98 & some change. And we won’t even talk about the natural gas bill to keep Firebase Magnolia Quarters warm.

I miss mean tweets.

As usual it’s the “*DUUUUUHHHH* Biden good, Orange man bad…” from the leftard media, what else is new? They only regurgitate the talking points fed to them like leftard proglodytes parroting their propaganda.

Gee, a female Paul Krugman. Equality stoopid comes in both genders.
Who knew you could reach critical mass and fission that much stoopid?

Watch it buddy, the wokaristas, progtards and the alphabet people will be coming after you for saying “both genders.” Everyone knows there a lot more than two genders. What about the pansexuals and the two-spirit people, as well as the trannies and all those other “genders?” Remember gender is just a label that is “assigned at birth” and is totally malleable.

Hack Stone

If there are more than two genders, then why is that every gender reveal video on social media only reveals boys and girls? Inquiring minds want to know.

There must be more than two genders, the US State Department is issuing “non binary” passports. Because some people don’t identify as male or female.
Do they then identify as a signpost? Sheep? one eyed, one eared flying purple people eaters?

Ah, I long for the good old days of “gay two-penised albino goat porn”. 🤨🤪😑😆

Like Paul Krugman, Margaret Sullivan gargles with bourbon in the morning.

There is not enough rot gut in the world to make her look pretty at closing time.

She looks like she couldn’t get laid at the Camp Wilson Beer Hall three weeks into a CAX.

Ha!

Well played Hack!

Hey, bitch…..let me tell you about “the public’s lack of knowledge” and what the public DOES know.

They know that inflation is rampant and higher than they’ve seen in four decades.

They know that the government keeps printing and dumping worthless money into to the economy.

They know that the government deficit and debt continue to soar out of control.

They know that the cost of everything required in and for their day-to-day lives – including and especially food/groceries and energy/gas – has increased, and has resulted in their quality of life and personal finances decreasing.

They know that there’s an on-going, near-crisis level manufacturing and distribution/supply chain problem in America. All while their wages aren’t increasing/keeping up with inflation.

So, ponder that while you presume to lecture the public about their “lack of knowledge,” asshole.

The Cee Pee Lie (CPI, Consumer Price Index) number gets dropped at 08:30 Eastern tomorrow. I’ve heard rumors YoY of 8.2+%.

This has gotten bad and can only get worse.

It must just absolutely suck not having to be burdened by reality

This is why it’s now referred to as the Washington ComPost.

Amazing how ugly you get when hate fills your heart.

Her heart must be overflowing with hate.

This (presumably) human remora! I’m sorry for us, as we don’t have a heavily subsidized job from a heavily subsidized trash (presumably) human ‘marital aid’ that goes by the name Jeff Bezos.

The job numbers are flawed and only part of the damn equation. How many of those ‘fully employed’ are working part time (Uber, deliveries, Avon, drug dealing, whatever) gigs to tread water? We all know that 1 job + 1 part-time or 2 part-time = 2 ‘full employed’, right?

Anywho, none of this matters as wage inflation is WAY behind price inflation so anything that cow has to say is commin out the south end as the heifer points north.

You can almost always tell a communist solely by how they look.
