Trump
and his supporters are constantly complaining about media bias against Trump in
comparison to Obama's media coverage.
As to reporting on the economy however, the opposite in fact has been
true. Sadly a large part of the blame can be attributed to Sanders/ Warrens and
the Progressives.
By
every measure - GDP, jobs created, unemployment, wages, and the stock
market - the Obama economy was at least comparable to what's been happening
since Trump took office.
Yet
we are told that the economy is now at last roaring and that things have gotten
so much better economically, all thanks to Trump.
Trump
says it so, the GOP says "amen", and the media reports it as gospel.
Part
of the blame belongs to Sanders, Warren and the other Progressives .
Notwithstanding the strong recovery under Obama, they still focused on the
fact that wages had not increased much. The media also emphasized this
one negative.
Well
guess what, they haven't gone up much under Trump either, but that hasn't
stopped the GOP from bragging the great economy.
Even
Obama himself is partly to blame, at least when it came to the stock market. He
refused to tout, let alone take credit for, the skyrocketing stock market
under his tenure.
He apparently bought into the Progressives' argument that the
stock market only benefited rich people, and that it would unseemly to tout its
success.
Trump and the GOP have no such inhibitions, and it turns out most
Americans apparently agree with them given their 401k, pension funds,
mutual funds etc. have done well.
Notwithstanding the real facts, the Trump and GOP narrative is that things are so much better now than under the disastrous Obama administration.
It's just not true, and the media has been relatively quiet about that. Now that's what I call media bias.
