A few morning show hosts supposedly found the “silver lining” in a devastating report showing that inflation skyrocketed in June for the fastest increase since 1981.

On Wednesday morning, ABC, CBS, and NBC chose to do something it’s only occasionally done in mentioning President Biden during their coverage of the porous economy. But, as one would expect, they absolved him of blame and instead commiserated with the “frustrated” President as he’s “[felt] the heat” from voters while “pointing fingers at” Republicans and “tout[ing] his economic agenda.”

On Tuesday, President Joe Biden spoke to the AFL-CIO and addressed the nation’s crumbling economy and skyrocketing inflation that Americans are suffering under during his reign. During that speech, he blamed everyone and everything but himself and his policies for the economic struggles. 

The NBC, CBS and ABC morning news shows completely ignored a devastating report showing the economy shrank more than expected in the first quarter.

On Thursday the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) reported that the United States’ Gross Domestic Product contracted 1.4 percent in the first quarter of 2022, a full 2.4 percent off from economists' expectations. 

Building off its fear-mongering from Tuesday and Wednesday, Thursday’s broadcast network morning newscasts encouraged viewers to continue masking up on planes, public transit, and when in airports due to “surging” cases of COVID-19 and a need to support the immunocompromised. This was despite Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle’s Monday ruling that struck down the nationwide mask mandate on travel…

CBS Mornings and NBC’s Today kept up the mental psychosis on Wednesday when it came to ensuring viewers stay crippled in fear of COVID-19 and view required masking as the lone backstop against illness and death. Specifically, they argued flying’s “less safe” and “cases will continue to go up” because Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle ended the CDC mask mandate on flying and…

On Tuesday night’s NBC Nightly News, the always pretentious and smug Lester Holt appeared to sneer at Americans who are tired of wearing masks and whined that Florida District Court Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle struck down the federal mask mandate. 

The NBC, CBS and ABC morning news shows largely ignored a new inflation report that showed inflation raging at 8.5 percent. That was the highest increase since 1981 — the same year Raiders of the Lost Ark hit the box office.

The three networks do everything they can to protect the crumbling Joe Biden administration from the wrath of an unhappy public. But even ABC, CBS and NBC seem to be slightly acknowledging the disastrous economic reality engulfing the United States. As inflation hit its highest levels in 40 years, the networks sounded a skeptical tone to the idea this is all be cause of “Putin’s price hike…

On Monday night, all three evening newscasts hyperventilated over a report from the United Nations that allegedly claims the world will suffer grave environmental consequences if nothing is done about "climate change". 

On Wednesday both ABC World News Tonight and CBS Evening News ignored a report that Democrat House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has finally been dragged kicking and screaming to support a ban on stock trading by members of Congress. After ignoring the story for four weeks, NBC Nightly News was the only one of the three broadcast networks to cover this story.  

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.
