Breaking news, Republican imposes new 10% tax, mandates higher inflation [View all]

Our media is increasingly disgusting.

They can't bring themselves to state the obvious because it's not a narrative Republicans like. Media narratives are always biased in favor of the right-wing, with the sometimes exception of shows specifically for a liberal audience.

Calling them tariffs, calling them retaliatory, and claiming they're imposed in other countries all serve to hide the obvious: Donnie is hiking taxes on all Americans and directly causing prices to increase -- literally ordering more inflation.

Words like "tax hike" and "creating more inflation" need to be far more prominent in the media, but they're too busy trying to downplay this crap.


Oh, and where's the narrative that Donnie is using the same strategy Hoover used to make the Great Depression the Great Depression?
