The lack of self-reflection is astonishing. Cringe-inducing, honestly

Biden struggles to improve Americans’ views of the economy
The economy added a robust 678,000 jobs in February and unemployment dropped to a pandemic low. But many Americans disapprove of Biden’s handling of economic issues.

Replying to @AnnieLinskey
I wish I could think of the name of the industry whose job it is to inform Americans of these kinds of things. To put things in proper context, like, say, a private email server vs a lifetime criminal. Nah, no such industry exists. Must be all Biden’s fault

1. If you look at the ratings, about 20 to 25% of the adult population watches the news

[Nevilledog]

3. This is the Washington Post

[Kaleva]

4. What I'm saying is the majority of adults don't follow the news

So even if the media covered the creation of jobs, most won't know if it.

5. Trickle down works better with news than economics

How many people pad on what they learned watching Fox, or read online?

[Kaleva]

6. Possibly but it could get teisted

Like that game played when young. Whisper something in another person's ear and they pass it on.

8. They all have phones and they read this crap all day long

It's everywhere on Facebook, Reddit, Instagram, MSN, Yahoo, ... etc. Wherever people check in for their emails and texts they get slammed with this crappy, low-brainpower propaganda. It doesn't matter that they don't watch the "6 O'clock News" because they get the brainwashing 24/7.

9. What they get isn't accurate.

People on Facebook twist the news to advance their agenda. Same with Twitter.

What I'm talking about are major news outlets who fact check and have editors.
