"..Just weeks ago, Donald was saying, “They call it groceries! Bacon, lettuce, tomato. All the everything is so much higher than it ever was. And we’re going to bring that down, and we’re going to do it very simply.”
Since this story was teed up so perfectly, I actually expected the Press to cover it properly. Wow, was I wrong.
Most outlets just repeated Trump’s garbage about it being “very hard” to lower prices. There were a handful that called it “walking back a pledge,” and only a couple opinion pieces that actually said Trump lied. Which he did.
But the two absolute worst were Fox “News” and CNN. Fox basically ignored the whole thing as if it didn’t happen. And CNN decided to go with this ridiculous headline: “Trump just said groceries will be more affordable ‘very soon.’ He’s also said that it might be very hard to achieve.” Beyond ridiculous.
During the campaign, the Press hammered President Biden nonstop over the price of groceries, and constantly repeated Trump’s propaganda. Now, we all have to suffer the consequences of their failures.
And I can guarantee maga will be silent, when their eggs get much more expensive.."
