With Republicans predicted to make significant midterm gains, Democrat-friendly media suddenly denounce Biden for 'false claims' of economic achievements and lack of enthusiasm

On the heels of the predictions that Democrats are in legitimate danger of losing both the House and the Senate, DNC-friendly media outlets appear to have turned on Biden and levied criticisms toward the president.

The New York Times took aim at Biden's "exaggerations" of his economic achievements. The New York Times' official Twitter account promoted an article with the caption: "As the midterm elections near, President Biden has increasingly made exaggerations or misstatements about his influence on the U.S. economy and his policy record."

The article began, "President Biden and his administration have told it in recent months, America has the fastest-growing economy in the world, his student debt forgiveness program passed Congress by a vote or two, and Social Security benefits became more generous thanks to his leadership. None of that was accurate."

The Times slammed Biden for having "recently overstated his influence on the economy, or omitted key facts."

The left-leaning publication called out Biden for taking credit for getting an increase in the Social Security checks of seniors. However, the benefit was an automatic cost-of-living increase spurred on by record inflation and not from Biden's goodwill.

The New York Times also exposed Biden for applauding himself for decreasing the federal budget deficit by $1.4 trillion this year. But Biden failed to mention that the deficit was so high because of the $1.9 trillion pandemic aid package that he signed in 2021.

The Times added, "But as the United States has struggled to contain inflation, the Biden administration has at times resorted to cherry-picking the most favorable data points or leaving out crucial context."

The New York Times corrected Biden on a statement he made in September when he said gas prices were averaging below $2.99 a gallon in 41 states and the District of Columbia – the prices were actually $1 higher.

Another New York Times article published this week criticized Biden for advising Americans crippled by soaring food prices to simply eat no-frills breakfast cereals.

“By the way, the food prices — the main driver of food prices — is not the price of beef and eggs, etc., although they’re up. It’s packaged goods, packaged goods," Biden said. "You’re going to see people not buying Kellogg’s Raisin Bran. You’re going to see them buying other raisin bran, which is going to be a dollar cheaper."

The Times commented, "Needless to say, eat generic raisin bran is not exactly a poll-tested, winning message. Clips of that comment went viral on the right, racking up tens of thousands of views on conservative YouTube and TikTok channels."

But it wasn't just the New York Times that shined a spotlight on President Biden's misinformation and lack of enthusiasm.

CNN fact-checker Daniel Dale has fact-checked Biden and his White House four times since Oct. 24:

Oh, my, my...The progressive media is eating its own out of pure fear that there will be a red tsunami and they will have no credible way to explain the bloodbath after-the-fact. So, now they are suddenly finding some honesty prior to the elections in order to save face and pretend they're credible news sources.

Such duplicity... But is fun watching progressives eat one another when they perceive a political crisis is dead ahead.

Worst president and administration by a country mile. That is evident due to all the Democrat homers that have turned against Biden and company.

Good luck with that strategy. There are far too many righteously angry people out there, who have been hurt in some way, shape or form by any number of dimwit polices, mandates, etc. over the last couple years, who will not be conned out of taking their revenge.

The deficit in 2021 was $360B less than in 2020. The Pandemic aid package in 2021 was completely necessary. Not doing it would have plunged the country into an unimaginable Depression. Don’t forget, we lost over 20,000,000 jobs in one month in 2020. Even before Covid, Trump had near record breaking deficits. .

Provide a link to those New York Times articles. I suspect they are all OpEds from Republicans.

Social Security COlA exists because of legislation passed in 1972. By a heavily Democratic Congress. If Republicans had their way, we wouldn’t even have Social Security.
Economic growth by country.

Not sure what the exact vote was on Student debt forgiveness. I am sure not many Republicans voted for it.

How many of those 20 million jobs were lost by the DEMOCRAT governors of California and New York shutting down their states, which have a combined population of about 60 million?

Google the stories for yourself. I suspect you're in deep denial. The Slimes, CNN and others are now officially in CYA mode, as I pointed out yesterday. They know how to conduct and read polls, too. Do you see any of these liberal rags predicting a blue wave? No, just as I thought. So what are they going to tell their readership and viewers after the elections? They know it looks really bad for the dimwits, so they're trying to get out ahead of the curve. These rats are jumping ship on Biden for the appearance of credibility -- to show the world they really are fair, balanced, unbiased and objective.

It's not easy, but then again...MOPO has a rep of doing the really hard things when it comes to dumbness.

Don't blame mostpost, he is just repeating what he hears on his media.
