I agree they will try, but I want to think (based on the election) that more and more, folks will be skeptical of the D messaging. The MSM was and continues to be exposed as hyper-biased propoganda. The counter message (the truth) has to be shouted 24/7 on every outlet possible to keep reminding folks. Fortunately Trump is putting people in places who are articulate and passionate enough to stand their ground and argue the points, with facts to back it up.

Trump simply has to deliver and make America great enough that the lies can't overcome reality.

In my view, the financial data for the past year has been biased in favor of the Dems. Discussions with my financial advisor have been pessimistic for 2025's inflation results. Their outlook remained the same after the election results were known. Just grab your nether regions in both hands folks.

Actually the economy is not that bad at least in my in little world.

Trump is not going to bring prices down, we are too far in debt.

He wont bring them down but he could help reduce the inflation rate simply because of his energy policy and killing the EV mandate.

The debt will eventually kill us and neither Trump nor the GOPe will do anything about it.

Latest Morning Joe numbers....28K total viewers. That is insanely low. They are dying and this time around the Trump-bump won't help their ratings.

Wow. Compare that to how many see a single tweet from Elon or DJT.

This is the way.

I've been seeing pure panic in the morning on Bloomberg since the week before the election.

Every damned day it is Trump is going to destroy the economy through inflationary tariffs.



The MSM has been whole heartedly lying about the economy for a long time, so now they no longer need to cover for the disaster it has been. The economy is going to drop, and soon, but now they will all, in lock-step, blame Trump for everything bad.

Navy the MSM will also report the their nemesis, DJT, was elected because they failed to hold salad mouth, his opponent,to account for being a blabbering fool.

Just think if Kamala would have won and what they would have resorted to in order to prop up the economy. I'm thinking Inflation Reduction Act Part 2 on steroids. Yikes!

As soon as one sympathetic, camera friendly family is split up, all we'll hear about are the racist deportations.

After years of ignoring and down playing the murders, fentanyl deaths, and crime imported by the current shadow puppet regime.

The thing Trump needs to do is just drive past them and not ignore them just as he has been. Let them run a story about how they are worried some dude who considers himself a woman can't go in the girl's bathroom and how if this and that and the other happen the economy will be terrible. Then Trump just keeps announcing new policies, stays upbeat and positive and strong, and goes out and watches rockets get launched into space.

The media is in free fall and panic with a mix of the folks who think they need to keep doing what they have been doing so they can keep their loony left base of voters and those who realize they have become second place to X and are falling behind podcasters. The reality is that once you watch some long form podcasts or Youtubers where they have real discussions and explain topics it makes turning on some screamfest of panic TV and soundbytes almost unwatchable. Why do that when you can listen to Rogan or Tucker where they don't work under time constraints and interviews are over when they are over.

The real death blows are building in the background btw. That will be if a conservative takes over either MSNBC or CNN and if Google is forced to sell Chrome and someone like the Rumble founder is able to buy it and make it a true free speech platform. Either of those would have as much impact as Elon taking over X because they impact the apolitical normies that are currently just bombarded with propaganda and don't go on X or listen to political podcasts.

They are certainly trying to change their strategy. I am not smart enough to no why.

If they think this offering of an olive branch is going to position themselves in a more positive light for whatever reason……well they are just stupid.

A faux offering of an olive beach seems so sophomoric to me. They are the same people who went SHC over a red hat, had a gay man wanting to punch a kid on national TV for a red hat, made up false stories, never apologize. Heck so much happened I can't remember halve of the lies that were told.

No more MSM for me. It's all fake outrage porn for clicks/viewers.

I come here, mostly lurk, and read X. I have a ton less anxiety and only a few TDS flare ups. Let's wait and see how this unusual cabinet will pan out. There is a lot in this country that could use an overhaul.

Of course, it could be great, just so-so, more of the same, or an unmitigated disaster. Who knows.

The last time, there was a lot of republican in-fighting so they've got to fix that.

I don't disagree with the OP at all. But, the internet is forever...so long as government censorship is held in check.

And that is the beauty of X. I saw the other day on PBD's podcast a "then and now" look at Morning Joe morons.

Yes, there are still masses that will be fooled. But all it takes is for one person in a family or network to get redpilled and that person is finally armed with facts. Thanks to Elon! Here's to the death of the traditional, corporate media.

The MSM is slowing changing some messaging, but it is not what you would think, like a more balanced reporting. They are slowly changing the economy is great narrative. The evening news and websites such as CNN and MSNBC are very nonchalantly having a few segments/articles about the economy is slowing (ex. today is "Target sounds the alarm bell on holiday shopping".

At first I was surprised that the MSM would be running these type of stories while Biden is still in office, but then I realized what they are doing. They are setting up the "Trump's economy is in full decline" mode staring next year. You see this already with reporting on Argentina's economy and how Milei is crashing it, etc.

Believe me, starting Jan. 20th the economy will suck, people are struggling, and the biggest story will be showing you every minute how a poor "undocumented migrant" is being deported. When Trump doesn't stop the Ukraine was on day one "Failure!".

The next 4 years will be like his first term but on steroids. Non stop everything sucks and everything Trump does is "unconstitutional" although Biden did the same things.

---

Yep, trying to frame their bullsh*t narrative, so the CM's and leftist lunatics have something to squawk about. I think the masses are catching to their BS. We'll see....

Yep

All of a sudden inflation will be be real and bad and all Trumps fault

Fact is that the reforms in government we are looking at coming will have an affect on the economy.

It will be a chaotic two years, probably.

But, that doesn't mean it isn't worthwhile when we come out the other side.

Just be ready for it and prepare because IMO there will be bumpy roads for a while that is to be expected, but we've got to remain focused and not give up.

I don't know who she is but I like her. If what she says is true...wow!

It's an old playbook. When George H.W. Bush ran for reelection the story during the campaign was the economy was terrible and we were in a recession.

As soon as Clinton won, the story became "turns out, the economy is doing pretty well".

Of course, back then the only outlet around to call them out on it was Limbaugh.

Apparently not enough to win elections

Trump was burned badly during his first administration from the attacking MSM, RINO nonsupport, lying Democrats, and backstabbing administration personnel.

He learned the hard way and his four year hiatus allowed him to think and plan as to what went wrong and how to avoid those problems of the past.

The only people I know that listen to msm are tarded

Trump should order the revision of years of economic data to the previous methodologies. Inflation, unemployment, consumer price index, gdp… The "service based economy" was a lie sold to boomers that we could offshore production and enjoy comfortable white collar growth without consequence.

Show all of the nasty lies. Lay bare the recession we've already entered.

Get ready for the legacy media, who for the past several years, ignored all economic data that we were in a recession to REEEEEEEE about the recession at the top of their lungs. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if they start talking about a depression here soon.
