Column: Blame the Media for the National Debt

Original Article

Posted By: Imright, 5/31/2023 1:40:42 PM

Democrats and Republicans reached an agreement to lift the debt ceiling, and nothing is going to change in the disturbing pattern of America’s national debt climbing by leaps and bounds. The best reason for pessimism? Our Democrat-messaging media. They can’t be bothered to offer the most basic facts in budget coverage. What is the budget for the current fiscal year? What was the last budget deficit? How large is the national debt? These are questions that are rarely answered by news anchors. What we get is a lot of horse-race jockeying and finger-pointing instead of facts. They must think the viewers are too stupid to juggle numbers.

I blame the Uniparty. They are the ones who passed it, who spent it. The media is just the propaganda organ of the Democrat wing of the Uniparty

The viewers may be too stupid to juggle numbers but who needs numbers when the media have convinced people that the federal government has infinite resources ( a concept wisely undefined in mathematics and non-existent in the real world).

The Left’s woke agenda is melting into every aspect of Americans’ lives. It has taken over children’s books and movies, the month of June, beer, clothing, and now conservative news. Fox News anchor Harris Faulkner admitted on-air that the Right-leaning network might have to give in to the radical, progressive narrative in response to mandated diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies to comply with woke state laws. Faulkner referred to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) mandates that are beginning to be enforced by various states nationwide— especially in New York {where Fox News is headquartered),

Former President Donald Trump insulted a growing field of Republican rivals during town hall appearance hosted by Sean Hannity – even appearing to mock a rival who is polling at less than 1 percent with a name suggesting he has a disability. Trump used the format, where Hannity announced at the top that he wasn't interested in debating the candidate, to bash the GOP field, while also commenting on President Joe Biden's fall and claiming he was the victim of election interference. Asked about facing a field that could grow to nine, Trump said, 'That's a good thing, isn't it' – reflecting a school that he could benefit as

Now that both chambers have approved, it will move to President Joe Biden’s desk for his expected signature.

President Biden, in 2020, took aim at then-President Donald Trump for awkwardly walking down a ramp at a commencement speech — remarks that came back to haunt him on Thursday when he took a tumble over a sandbag at a commencement ceremony at the U.S. Air Force Academy. Trump took heat from critics, including Biden, when he walked gingerly down the ramp at a West Point commencement ceremony in September 2020. Then-candidate Biden, in the midst of a presidential campaign, took a swipe at the Republican incumbent. "Look at how he steps and look at how I step. Watch how I run up ramps and he stumbles down ramps," Biden joked.
