The Patriot Post® · In Brief: If Everything Weren't Horrible, Everything Would Be Awesome
We’ve spent more than 25 years serving as an alternative to the Democrat-controlled mainstream media. It’s frustrating to see the lies, but it can also be eye-rolling and even amusing. Political analyst Kylee Zempel highlights a few examples:
Gas prices are at record highs, grocery bills are through the roof, and supply-chain disruptions are still leaving business shelves bare, but even amid the instability, some things never change: Democrats’ media lapdogs are still spinning the facts to a dizzying degree.
As an apt illustration, The Washington Post shared this article about Biden’s economy, from self-serious columnist Jennifer Rubin, to Twitter on Monday with the following snippet: “If it weren’t for inflation, this president’s economic performance would be unmatched.”
You really can’t make this stuff up. America is in such dire straits under the leadership of barely coherent President Joe Biden that the only way left to defend him is to say, If it weren’t for everything being horrible, it would all be wonderful.
Given that conservatives are nothing if not helpful, Zempel offers tips for how the propagandists can handle not just terrible economic news but other disasters and corruption caused by the Biden regime:
If It Weren’t for Gasoline Being $5 a Gallon, Gas Would Be So Affordable
If It Weren’t for Short-Staffing, Businesses Would Be Fully Staffed
If It Weren’t for Supply-Chain Lockdowns, We Could Get Necessary Goods
If It Weren’t for the Humanitarian Crisis on the U.S. Border, Biden’s Policies Would Be Second to None
If It Weren’t for Biden Family Scandals, This President Would Be Scandal-Free
If We Weren’t Depending on Foreign Adversaries for Oil, Biden’s America Would Be Energy Independent
Zempel concludes:
Rubin and The Washington Post make criticism of their work too easy, but Monday’s embarrassingly blatant spin wasn’t a lapse in journalistic judgment or a one-off oopsie. This type of framing is the media’s pattern, and it isn’t relegated to opinion columns.
It pervades America’s newsrooms. It also seeps out in fake fact-checks that acknowledge a statement is true but rate it “mostly false,” in wire stories that co-opt language like “pro-choice” and subversive pronouns, and in the continued use of Trump as a red herring to distract from whatever Biden nightmare is unfolding on a given day.
The corporate media are nothing more than a public relations arm for the Democrat Party, even if it means making nonsensical declarations.
