I'm not saying that the WaPo doesn't both sides our politics terribly, I think they do, but that headline is not as misleading as many.
High interest rates along with the impending inflation from rising oil prices is going to be a steep political hill for Joe Biden and Democrats to surmount.
Though of course one reason that voters can't put it into context is because of our political media so...
@GreenFire I think the actual headline on the story is manageable, but the social headline is almost intentionally playing on the trope.
(((Cindy Weinstein)))@dkiesow. On mornings like this and with headlines like this, I'm glad I canceled my #WashingtonPost subscription. It's coverage like this that lays the foundation for #disinformation, which MAGA outlets then blast to the base.

They have spies in the NYT and WaPo newsrooms and have bugged the editorial board meetings?

Pēteris Krišjānis@dkiesow my problem is that these hot takes are just like that, hot takes. They are someone rather weakly justified opinion. For example, people say it is economy. For last two elections it has NOT been economy. But centrist "tax breaks" media insists it is. So it is bad when it is economical downturn. And it is bad when it is economical upturn. LOL. Seriously.
While I see some inflation coming back up a bit, it will lack serious fuel because of lack of credit. It will take long time to clear.

Bill Seitz@dkiesow Remember when it seemed more honorable to work for a newspaper than Facebook?
Flaming Cheeto@dkiesow will Americans blame Biden for the obesity epidemic from all those chickens in their pots? Our panel of three middle aged white Republican men and one blonde lady discuss
Janis@dkiesow Because LLMs aren't actually literate. I can't help but laugh at how so many coders *still* joke about how they can't spell.
We all need to understand and remain aware of how AI shapes our individual realities. It's been a big economic driver these last four years.
Gotta point out: inflation reduces the value of both debt and wealth. We need to lift our eyes up & off our own paychecks. MBAs can be very, very sneaky, and they using AI.
Lewis Edwards@dkiesow I like to think that it's because they have integrity.
Tink@dkiesow Wall Street isn't the economy. And workers are forced to bet against themselves to grow their 401K and IRA since most traditional pensions no longer exist
Leefeller GuyWashington Post competition is now the Onion and NYT, this is the short list./s
Nicole ParsonsInflation isn't "revving up".
Inflation is being manufactured. Corporate profits are at a 50 year high, from price gouging.
Corporate profiteering is what is driving price increases.

@dkiesow I guess it's the serious news now
dennisaurus@dkiesow All right, but apart from gun safety legislation, fostering renewable energy, mortgage reform, fighting junk fees, farming reforms, student debt forgiveness and a booming economy, what has Biden done for us?
Edelruth, PBS Passport Holder"Good news of the day. Why this is bad for Biden."
Over, and over.
But that's a NYT thing. Why is the WP picking up that vibe?

Also, fuck the WaPo. Back behind the paywall, you!
Zach Keeshin@dkiesow maybe it’s a tautology that the readership get the journalism it deserves?
xs4me2Plain lies…
Q. Edwards@dkiesow economy > people. As long as the line graph goes up everything is good!
Kevin RussellThe Washington Post is full outright participating in Trumps coup.

I saw a report that auto insurance went up over 20%. There is not much control over that.

Comrade elronxenu@dkiesow Things are going great and that's bad for Biden ... What?
@dkiesow and the 'Journalists' are at it again proving that they are trained Journalists and not economists
Anne@dkiesow this could be the Onion! 😂 I didn’t know the Washington Post was satirical. Oh, wait… it’s not. It’s just bizarre.

I noticed they started doing stories about government functioning well. In other words, what is obviously not really happening.
