I’m curious, if “eggs expensive under Biden” was newsworthy, how come “Trump intentionally caused every single fucking thing to be heinously expensive” isn’t a story?

Because people keep buying and subscribing to the oligarch-captured Zombie Fourth Estate. That includes everything from the NYT to Newsmax. They ALL need to be destroyed. If people would wake the fuck up anid start boycotting and relentlessly denigrating ALL OF THEM we might get somewhere.

Because while Democrats were fucking off in the 90s and patting themselves on the back for ending racism, Republicans realized that if you control the media, you control the message. Now, they promote their propaganda while suppressing the truth. But at least Dems have the Met Gala.

Because Right Wingers have worked the refs at MSMedia for generations now, accusing MSM of Left bias. MSM react by hiring/interviewing more & more RWngers, to prove they are not Left biased. They've proved it. But ref workers are never appeased. Bc their job is to push MSM Rightwards. And they do.

Mainstream media have had a subtle RWng bias & party status hierarchy for generations--treating GOP as the high status emperor party, Dems as the chambermaid party--catering to emperor, praising his new clothes/MOUs--& belittling the chambermaid party for even tiny or imaginary flaws.

Trump received campaign contributions from the Congressmen who got paid off by the egg lobby and stopped the federal investigation into the bid-rigging that drove up egg prices. The CEO’s of Hickman, Cal-Maine, Versova, and should have faced federal criminal charges. archive.ph/0xyRg

Also AI* has made computers totally unaffordable. I had to replace a mechanical spinning hard drive that failed in my NAS, and it was twice as expensive as it was 10 months ago. A 6 year old drive! *Not intended to start a discussion about usefulness, just about them sucking up all the hardware.

For 40 years, it was a nearly iron-bound law of tech economics that computer parts got cheaper with age. New models would take the high-end expensive spot and yesterday's cutting edge became today's budget option. Old computer parts getting *more* expensive is completely insane, yet here we are.

And by the way, the fact that the cost of living has a bigger news coverage than, say, causing 500,000 children deaths in Africa, or bombing fishing boats just for fun, really frightens me about the american public.

don't forget that egg producers were later proven to have been gouging consumers by colluding and engaging in price fixing and were fined for their illegal behaviour. But they were just in it for the money, not trying to influence the election or anything....

Usually, the prez doesn’t have much control over the price of gas. But in this case, Trump is the guy—the only guy—who’s raised gas prices, what with his war & the subsequent closure of Hormuz.

A rising tide drowns all boaters? To push it further, their favorite technique is to flood the zone. It doesn’t matter if it’s lies or issues; just overwhelm your audience, opponents, whatever.

Biden's 'expensive' eggs weren't recalled for salmonella. We not only have to pay higher prices under Trump (even MAGA is feeling that), we have to check in with the FDA every day to see what food has salmonella, lettuce with e. coli, etc., etc. News isn't reporting about that, either.

IOKIYAAR (It's okay if you are a Republican). Also, this is classic ingroup-outgroup dynamics. His voters are just misled into believing they're the ingroup by anti-trans,anti-Black, and anti-immigrant propaganda

Eggs being expensive under Biden was true but not because of Biden policies. It was Avian Flu, causing farmers to have to klll their chicken flocks to stop the spread. Trump wasn't the reason for egg prices diminishing. The farmers just rebuilt their flocks.

The media is too focused on reporting on the debt in attempt to head off any spending a democratic Congress might approve that would actually help people.

Because that kind of propaganda is the tool of evil self serving people with no scruples or moral boundaries. So naturally you don't see decent folk wield it as often or as effectively. So you get the egg story actively spread everywhere while the truth, in contrast, is just left to be the truth.

the same reason every Democrat has to answer for every weird thing Hasan Piker has ever said but nobody asks Jim Jordan or Tommy Tubberville to denounce Asmongold.
