According to media reports of the meetings, the people responsible for the Biden administration are instructing U.S. media outlets to report on the economy as if things are going well.
Unfortunately, massive Biden spending programs, in combination with fiscal policy, monetary policy, energy policy and mandatory vaccination policy, have created a perfect storm of inflation. That storm is growing in scale and scope and is likely to get much worse before it stalls.
The White House demands that media must ignore stunning price increases at the supermarket, jaw dropping home heating costs this winter, prices at the gas pumps that are 50 percent higher than last year, backlogs in the supply chain due to environmental regulation at West Coast ports, and a shortage of critical blue collar workers inside the U.S. Main Street economy due to the vaccine mandate. “Other than that, how did you like the play Mrs. Lincoln?”
In short, the White House wants the U.S. media to apply more cowbell to their propaganda.
Even CNN is having a tough time accepting the instructions:
The White House, not happy with the news media’s coverage of the supply chain and economy, has been working behind the scenes trying to reshape coverage in its favor. Senior White House and admin officials — including NEC Deputy Directors David Kamin and Bharat Ramamurti, along with Ports Envoy John Porcari — have been briefing major newsrooms over the past week, a source tells me.
The officials have been discussing with newsrooms trends pertaining to job creation, economic growth, supply chains, and more. The basic argument that has been made: That the country’s economy is in much better shape than it was last year. I’m told the conversations have been productive, with anchors and reporters and producers getting to talk with the officials… (read more)
That meeting had to have been like teaching children how to color by numbers…I mean, the willingness was there, just which color crayons to use.
Here is how it works.
The media believes it is their job to tell you what and how to think. The WH now believes it is their job to tell the media what you and I should think.
If only Trump could have had the foresight to corral the media into the WH early on in the administration and threaten their FCC licenses, we would not be here today!
the “media” has been corrupted for 50 years, that I am aware of. Fox news is a lefty shill outfit that does leftism by stealth, so that people will say “even fox news……”, and when I was in China, the state news used unedited fox clips for their propaganda.So, Trump talking to the news outlets would have been useless.
So, what Fox is to news, the Republican party is to politics? Got it!
Exactly. Fox will always be the fox it is. GOP – nothing gallant about it for a long time now – too many greedy old possums carrying on the ruination. Unfortunate for the few patriotic gallant souls within it.
Correct. Otherwise they’d be all over Ivermectin like CNN’s Zucker was all about “all Trump all the time.”
“corral the media into the WH early on and execute them all as traitors, we would not be here today!”
Fixed it! too extreme, you think?
not in my humble opinion.
Call your local media outlets out on this crap. Make them uncomfortable. They will get tired of it very quickly, they have very thin skins.
Stay within the lines … and only place the color according to the numbers
CUT THE CORD!!
I did in 2005!
Read from truth forums! TCTH comes to mind!!!
Cut the cord and see for yourselves what the truth is without needing to be told by any one.
We can see by our own life experience what is what and do not need to read about it to have it made “more true”.
Have confidence in yourself.
It is really hard for those of us who willingly seek out our own information and can’t imagine it any other way to understand those who want to be told what the “news” is. What kills me is those who won’t even go to the sites. They want “feeds” where they get a “beep” that tells them one of the propaganda outlets has decided a factoid needs to be known by them…right now.
How do people live that way?
What cord?
I have not watched a news program since President Trump was elected. Not faux news, not local news and weather, nor radio or printed media.
I don’t wear a mask, so I ignore all references to mandates, even here on TCTH. Life is good. I am retired, I have not gone without anything since I have always shopped in bulk.
… and when a masked Vaxxer glares at me, I just wish them a MERRY CHRISTMAS
Killed the TV somewhere in the mid-to-late Oh-Oh’s…when I see one in a doctor’s office, just the sound of it is extremely offensive, annoying, and fake, fake, fake. Hard to believe people pay money to have those things in their houses — and not just that, but ones that SPY on them—- even Orwell couldn’t have predicted that people would pay good money to buy their own “Big Brother” screens and brag to each other about having the latest, trendy model. (Seriously, is an I-phone hundreds of dollars better than a burner? You’ll never convince me.)
LOL Same here, only I walk up to the set and say very loudly “anyone watching this propaganda”? As I turn it off.
I have yet to have anyone speak up other than the ones who say Thank you!
As the Goebbels leftists would put it (or at least would put it if they were honest with themselves) – It is vitally important for the leftists to use all of their powers to repress inconvenient truths, for such truths are the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension the greatest enemy of the leftists.
Corporate media is State media.
Hey, I have a crazy idea.
How about, instead of figuring out ways to bullshit us and pull the wool over our eyes, trying to find ways to actually improve the situation?
They do not WANT to improve our situation. They hate us more than they love their own children. The incompetent DEM apparatchiks are in place by willful conscious design.
The socialist democrats don’t value American citizens. They want globalism to triumph along with its tyranny.
Yes, sound policy is supposed to speak for itself.
Destruction is the only outcome. Poverty, illness, and a welcome to 3rd world status, liberals have worked so hard to achieve this goal and we just don’t appreciate all their effort.
There are more of us than there are of them.
We can leave these losers behind and really LIVE if we want to or if we use our own brains and throw off the chains.
Why do so many sit here and moan and whine about how awful the msm media is.
Leave them behind and go out and live.
I imagine a herd of several thousand cattle, being herded, first into corrals, then down chutes towards the slaughter house.
One steer, smelling the stench of death, says to the steer next to him; “Hey, there are a lot more of US, than there arecof THEM!”
IF you have many guns, and buckets of ammunition, but NO will to kill me to protect yourself, and I am detirmined to do “whatever it takes” to kill you, despite having no guns or ammo,…WHAT do you think the outcome of our encounter will be?
Reality is, our enemy has the WILL, and WE, collectively do not.
I just moan about it because I have to live in a country where others watch it and then VOTE.
Psaki must have been trained by Baghdad Bob. As the world collapsed all around him, he spouted off that Iraq was winning.
She is a pernicious lying communist.
And, worst of all she is a Ginger.
What does that mean?
Hey, what you got against gingers? Asking for a ginger.
I come from a long line of feisty gingers. Psaki doesn’t hold a candle to us.
Ann Margaret? Girl on stormy beach.. Hellooooo 👩🦰🌪 🌊
I doubt she’s even really a red head, its from a bottle.
Ever noticed how her voice goes up at the end of every sentence, like a 1980s Valley Girl? And then to make it worse, she has a current of hostility, of smart-alec-ness that won’t quit, as if answering every question is SUCH a CHORE and IF you WEREN’T so STUPID, YOU WOULD KNOW BETTER AND…
She Smirks as she hands out the smart-alec answers. Psaki is very quick-witted and smart, which makes her dangerous.
We are not worried. Almost all the people of America love Joe Biden and think he is the smartest man in the world. Just wait till that damn Trump campaigns against him in 2024. The people of America will besiege him and what very few supporters he has here in America will be slaughtered and canceled. Wherever Donald Trump’s supporters go they will find themselves encircled by hundreds of millions of loyal Joe Biden supporters. Donald Trump and his supporters will be burnt. We are going to tackle them. We are going to hit them with shoes! All of Joe Biden’s opponents in America will be committing suicide when Joe Biden wins a second term with 600 electoral votes!
Good, good. Now if every sentence is cut off short as if you’re running out of breath and patience just as you complete each thought and really CAN’T be BOTHered with ANSWERING any MORE AND WE HAVE TO MOVE ON NOW….
She was. And that is exactly what they said about their disastrous and treasonous “leaving” of Afghanistan.
I am not tired of winning yet, but that was definitely not a win. And MIlley is still an a$$e$ $h1th013.
And Biden is already playing footsie with that guy in Russia. The one that no one wanted President TRUMP to work with.
This is yet another distraction of their disastrous and illegitimate takeover of this country. It’s not just the economy, it is everything they touch!
Pernicious is an excellent word to describe Psaki.
Does this make them “State Actors”? Bye bye 1st amendment press protections.
Freedom of the press should not extend to fake news and then allow Twitter to call them “Accredited News Organizations”.
Thus the media continues its decline. Either speak truth to power or become nothing but propaganda. So far, the media is failing and being replaced by more trustworthy voices.
They already spin everything. So, keep on spinning.
More people will wake up.
Only the dumbest of the dumbest will ignore the REALITY around them.
I hope the tv idiots fall hard and fast.

Given Sundances predictions about inflation, which I agree with, think about just how rediculous this could become, as the media continuevto comply with this directive.
“Isn’t it WONDERFUL that ground beef is now $100/an ounce!”
“Pollution is WAY down, nationwide; no one can afford gas, and there isn’t anywhere to go, since grocery stores have all closed, and restaurants require you to be super-duper triple vaxxed,…but all those who WOULD qualify for entry, are dead!
Isn’t that GREAT!!”
Yeah, in the agecof Brandon, satire is getting more challenging. I pity the people at Babylon Bee!
Of minor consideration when speaking of people food, but the sale deal for 2, 20 lb bags of bird seed at Ace that have been 2 for $12 for years are now 2 for $18. A 50% inflation rate.
I use to buy the same seed for years. I quit about a year ago for 4o pounds of seed at Menards for $14.98. Some weeks it’s on sale.

I haven’t noticed comments about the actual shortages on this post. So I am going to add this note in case someone is reading a few months (years) from now.
Biden said the shortages were like the shortage of Cabbage Patch dolls. (In other words unimportant)
Within a couple of days the news came out about the shortage of chicken. Then the reports came out of 111 medications that are unavailable. Many of the medications were things like blood pressure medication.
Both of these items have a direct impact on me and my family. Chicken is an inexpensive (normally) source of protein. My medical condition requires an additional intake of protein. All my family medicates daily for high blood pressure.
So bottom line, these are not just lies. They are DAMN LIES!
Yes, and lies that affect public health, such as you mentioned, nutrition and medication. I hope your MD or pharmacy gets your family the medications they need. And thanks for passing that information on – I had no idea that some medications were no longer available at all.
Thank you June. We are OK for now. We order our medication 3 months at a time and we just recently had our prescriptions renewed.
Having said that, one of our blood pressure medications is on the list and an ointment that I use at a catheter exit site (Gentamicin). The Gentamicin is a little pricey so I don’t think people will buy it for the purpose of “hoarding” it. I wish the same could be said for the blood pressure medication.
I looked for the original article I read and was unable to find it. This is a link to a list of medications that are currently on the list of medicines in short supply. I did not count the medicines on this particular list but there are quite a few.
https://www.drugs.com/drug-shortages/
Since widespread shortages have started I have had problems waiting for extended periods for Clorox bleach (used in sanitation), dressing sponges, and IV sponges. Now we are forewarned there may be problems with the 2 above items. All of the items are part of my daily treatment plan.
I don’t think this will be fixed under Biden’s “leadership”. Amazing how fast things can fall apart.
Last I saw (and realistically it could only go up) the FDA website listed 159 medications that were in short supply or unavailable.
You should know you can legally order “Rx” medications from international pharmacies.
I have been doing business with Global pharmacy, out of India, for years and always gotten good meds.
1-916-269-8485
The plain package is sent by mail, and for extra fee, by airmail, so shouldn’t be sitting in a cargo ship off the coast.
It DOES take 2-4 weeks to get through customs, so best to order early, and in quatity (both for the discounts, and to ‘stock up’).
Hope this helps, and yes (last I checked) they have Ivermectin and HCQ. and no, being an India pharmacy, they do not require a Rx.
Thanks for the shopping tip Dutchman. I have thought about buying meds from other countries for a cost savings. Every time I have researched the idea I decided sold in the USA will be my safest bet.
One of my doctors has me trying a new med that sells for $1,400 a month for a full dosage. I would only take about 1/3 of the normal dosage so that would be $466.00 per month. If we decide it is the best treatment I may look into the availability in other countries. I hadn’t even thought about checking that route so thank you.

It will be nothing but Susan Rice talking points being distributed.
Part of the quid pro quo cost, for MSM support of Sock Puppet JoeBama’s failed regime, was on display across the TV screens in the gym this morning.
NBC, CBS and ABC were advertising their coverage of the 2022 Beijing Olympics.
The diplomats will not be there but they are not the ones the sponsors pay.

Never forget.
I thought it was URINolist?
Well….when their ink is red and the bidenites are telling them it’s really black, we’re all the way into an intellectual territory where 5+5 = 7.
Time will tell how many of them will choose to cleave to their desired delusion.
Apparently delusion is addictive, and purity of delusion is an escalating desire.
Imagine if Trump had such a meeting during his term. There would be an outcry for impeachment, President trampling on fundamental 1st Amendment rights, stirrings of fascistic control of media – and they would have been right!
There have been some awful WH press secretaries in the last 25 years or so, but I can’t remember one as punchable as Psaki. Her attitude of expected obsequious acceptance, and intolerant evasion on even the most mildly pointed questions is totally unacceptable.
I’m still amazed, not surprised, at people who think their narrative is “TRUTH” if they can get everyone to believe it.
The core of woke is true believers that can’t stand the truth, regardless of actual facts that refute their beliefs.
Woke has become religion.
And they want to burn us as heretics.
HAS been a faux religion, all along. Thats a key part of the con; to substitute the State for the Church.
And expropriate many aspects; articles of FAITH, the concept of excummunication, “true believers”,..its all there, in a somewhat destorted for.
Conmunism has always done that,…cause it works.
One day that woman is going to go way off the rails, and it will be as tasty as any gingersnap I ever ate.
Dropping golf balls in a living room is bad for your game, but I get it. Better example than eggs.
Another case of who are you gonna believe? The media or your lying eyes and wallet?
Democracy does NOT =freedom or liberty.
if 51 percent of the people support putting the 49 percent in cattlecars, and shipping them off to crematoriums,..well thats democracy.
Our “Democracy” = Our Banana Republic.
Propaganda outlets controlled by the government are what got Hitler in power.
Like I need the media to tell me things are just wonderful. I just filled my car up and it cost me $50.00 where it cost me like $32 when Trump was President. And forget about food. You can’t BS the people when they have nothing left in their wallets.
Looks like you’ve had a bit too much to think Comrade.
More cowbell:
watch
Let’s go Brandon.
Henry Bowman rules.
the people responsible for the Biden administration are instructing U.S. media
Which People? I think at this point we deserve the names of those meeting with the US media and instructing them to lie to us. Why are we not getting the names? If this were Trump we would have a complete list of anyone involved, and a complete dossier on them within hours. Yet, nothing?
Positive Spin….well said. Shortages, Inflation, higher taxes, zero growth, recession, national debt. spin away.
Wait, the federal government meets with the media to tell them how to report the news, and the American people are okay with that? Why are we not screaming that you don’t have meetings like this in a free country? What am I missing?
I have to say that Mr Sundance, You are a very funny guy!
I am really sorry for you, me and all of us here that these utter cretins have set about making our lives to be so miserable.
However, there is something about this presidency that I am really enjoying. I did set about saying to my wife a while back that I am really going to try to take pleasure in this fellow. Sociopaths F everything up and they gave this piece of wonderment the keys to the car.
Though of course, one feels compassion to those who lives are badly impacted, through no fault of their own, by the monsters who control this freak.
Meanwhile walking around the Capitol is sedition but this is not.
Jim Cramer said today we are headed for a post covid economic BOOM.
The question that should be asked on every written article on msm outlets is …if trump did this, would you be ok with it?
Well, time to gett another Fox tree, so priceless a scene from EFNY with cop watching up in smoke, lights going out, flames skyward, Chevy Chase moment relived! Its getting good in Amerika, in Amerika, Coca Cola, Wonder Bread!
The US will be under full Authoritarian Communist Rule by 2034. You will own nothing, and you will be told that you are happy.
