Media Giants Meet with Biden White House to Discuss How to Reshape Narrative Surrounding Biden’s Failed Regime
By Joe Hoft
Published December 8, 2021 at 10:59am


The White House has been working with major news outlets “behind the scenes” to “reshape coverage” on the failed Biden regime, according to CNN.

The administration has been “briefing major newsrooms over the past week” while “discussing with newsrooms trends pertaining to job creation, economic growth, supply chains, and more,” CNN reports, citing an anonymous source.

The administration has argued that “the country’s economy is in much better shape than it was last year.” CNN reported the conversations have “been productive, with anchors and reporters and producers getting to talk with the officials.”

Far-left CNN media lapdog Oliver Darcy, an avid hater of the truth reported by The Gateway Pundit, tweeted the following:

the american public remain skeptic for various reasons, but one of them is the kind of push certain big trump supporters are making with outright stupid hits on the Biden administration such as trying to portray VP Harris as 'having a phobia' about bluetooth ear pieces. Her adherence to security measures doesn't make her paranoid, it makes her responsible.

Security experts and many Americans alike are blasting an attack by the mainstream media giant Politico against Vice President Kamala Harris, an attack that comes amid revelations of a study in The Washington Post showing just how unfairly negative the press has been in its coverage of President Joe Biden and his administration. As it turns out, Politico, a major player in DC politics, is effectively owned by a million-dollar donor to Donald Trump.

Politico in October was sold to the German media conglomerate Axel Springer, reportedly for about $1 billion. Axel Springer, which has been described as “conservative” and by casual observers “right wing,” is majority-owned by the U.S.-based investment firm Kohlberg Kravis Roberts (KKR), whose founders are known for historic, massive leveraged buyouts.


Henry Kravis is a million-dollar Trump donor, according to Forbes.

Dana Milbank is the author of the Washington Post piece that exposes just how poorly the mainstream media has covered the Biden administration. On Sunday he happened to tweet about Politico:
It\u2019s interesting that Germany\u2019s Axel Springer completed its takeover of Politico on Oct. 18, and that\u2019s exactly when Politico took its sharply negative turn against Biden. Maybe this explains the pushback from @RyanLizza

Chad Loder is a tech company founder and cybersecurity expert, known for posting meticulous, open-source investigations of local right-wing extremists. Here’s how he responded to the Politico piece:

I'm a recognized security expert who holds 7 patents in computer security.
Kamala Harris is absolutely right about the security risk, and the word "phobia" has no place in the discourse.

I'm gonna try to look into any change higher up in CNN's ownership, too, since I have definitely seen a recent and sustained lowering of tone (particularly during the daytime) introducing a way more negative attitude toward all the achievements of the Biden admin...not so much outright saying 'this is bad' but introducing a much more questionable interpretation of what has been managed and its positive effects on the economy. I mentioned in another thread a glaring statement a female host put out one evening about VP Harris resigning...there has been no follow-up on that statement that I can find; no denial, explanation, or reporting on a change of decision on the VPs part. Nada. That is NOT the CNN I'm used to listening to and trusting (largely) for correct information.

The unemployment rate is down because people have dropped out of the labor market. The "Unemployment percentage" only counts those that are actively looking for a job. In some cases those people decided that they don't need a job, in other cases, they have just given up.

The ultimate impact of the low participation rate on the economy is uncertain, but I wouldn't credit Biden (or any President) for turning around the economy.

The funny part is that the unemployment percentage has several ways of being measured. You are talking about the U3 which is/was the traditional measurement that people use. Under Obama conservatives magically found the U6 measurement which accounts for that. People didn't traditionally use this method for a number of reasons. Things like when a kid goes to college, a Mormon goes on missionary duty, someone has to care for a sick relative yadda yadda yadda end up on that list. They are unemployed and not working at the moment.

A wise society would be aiming for a very, very high U6 because that means people are free. I know that the concept of freedom is something the Right Wing is very unfamiliar with because they have blinders on. Owning a gun is more important than spending time with your loved ones or having time to travel. Not supporting Israel blindly makes libs anti-semetic while ignoring increasing hate crimes against Jews means you don't judge people by their race, religion or creed so this is just random violence.

The OP is right. Americans are indeed skeptical. That’s putting it nicely. Biden’s approval rating on the economy is 37% according to the latest CNBC poll released yesterday. 56% disapprove.

I don't really care what Biden's approval rating on the economy is for two reasons. We have three years until it's really relevant and shy of a miracle 22' was lost in November of 2019. Its just a matter of how bad it is.

Add in that that people are frickin ignorant itsfrustrating.

The stats were TOTALLY MEANINGLESS while Trump was in office and for Biden's first near year.

Why should they matter now?? Reality is the cost of food is turning suburbia RED right now.... and that's what really matters

Says the guy who ignores word meanings whenever it's convenient for him....

The stats were not meaningless under Trump nor during Biden's first here. The cost of food is turning suburbia red (Which I doubt will pan out once we hit 2024 because they aren't THAT stupid) because bad information is rampant.

You literally ignore how words are used all the time to baffle people. Even people who agree with your "principles" know you're a liar.

They were to peck and many others who didn't like the stats unless they look good for the (D)'eez.

The cost of food is turning suburbia red (Which I doubt will pan out once we hit 2024 because they aren't THAT stupid) because bad information is rampant.

We already saw that this past Nov. 2nd. Blue strongholds elected a shocking amount of red.

Short of some really dramatic unknowns going off all the indicators available say this next fall is going to be a bad time for (D)'eez.

2024 is not as, but almost as lost. Joe Biden is for sure done.

You literally ignore how words are used all the time to baffle people. Even people who agree with your "principles" know you're a liar.

No I don't.

I literally point out how they're being used wrong by ignorant fuckwits.

Some figure it out, others persist in their ignorance.

Stanford, Oxford, Encyclopedia Britannica and M. Webster are not lying and neither am I.

Biden low approval rating can be easily summed up like this. He promised to take us back to where things would be normal again, and it still isn't normal. In fact, we've gone further into not normal territory in the months under his watch. Sure, not all of this is entirely his fault.

But the fact remains he promised us normal, and has yet to deliver on that promise.

No I don't.

Since this is the only thing you wrote remotely worthy of a response lets cover this. You can either use words like 'liberal' the way that most people use it in common conversation, as you stated the post I last quoted OR you can trust Stanford, Oxford Britannica and Webster. The same people who realized that 'ain't' is a word if enough people agree not only that it is but have similar enough definitions of what it means. The same people that accept google as a verb instead of a Proper Noun. The same people who don't realize that Earth is the only planet with The Moon.

That is your gift. You are smart enough to know that Phobos and Demious are not Moons but if someone points out they are satelites you'll say there is no life on mars and ask who launched them. IT works on the dummies.

For most of us we've been pretty normal save for the last say ten weeks or so. And even that is mostly minor inconviences. The only real issue I've had is that my washing machine needs a part and stupid supply line issues has me handwashing shit like a peasant. Inflation has meant I don't go to the movies and I stopped drinking Grey Goose instead of Smirnoff but other wise its been fine. As it clearly has been for the majority of families. If things were truly as bad as the Right would have you believe Fox and Tucker Carlson would have spent at least a week touring the country and interviewing parents who had to explain to their kids why they weren't going to spend Thanksgiving with Nana or why there was no Sweet Potato Pie. But hey we are pretty close to Christmas. I want to see the stats of how Playstation 5s are sitting on the shelves.

Team Biden Giving Media Instructions to Be Positive about the Economic Situation

https://trendingpolitics.com/team-b...-to-be-positive-about-the-economic-situation/

Probably thanks to his abysmal polling levels, Democrats in the White House have now resorted to telling the media what to say and think.


That’s right, in Banana Republic fashion, the White House is now directing reporters on what to say about the economic situation in Joe Biden’s America, as was called out on Twitter.

And it’s not sketchy, right-wing-biased sources that are reporting on this. Even CNN was calling it out, reporting that:

The White House, not happy with the news media’s coverage of the supply chain and economy, has been working behind the scenes trying to reshape coverage in its favor. Senior White House and admin officials — including NEC Deputy Directors David Kamin and Bharat Ramamurti, along with Ports Envoy John Porcari — have been briefing major newsrooms over the past week, a source tells me.

The officials have been discussing with newsrooms trends pertaining to job creation, economic growth, supply chains, and more. The basic argument that has been made: That the country’s economy is in much better shape than it was last year. I’m told the conversations have been productive, with anchors and reporters and producers getting to talk with the officials…

And then, obedient as always to their Democrat masters, the media shoeshine boys crank out the puff pieces on the economy.

It is sad that our national press has a political party.

His approval ratings are the inverse to the inflation rate.

Not surprising. It's the economy stupid!

Biden's low approval rating is based largely on the polarized electorate. He was never going to get much higher than 50%.

Also factor in the obstruction and outright coup attempt that the Deplorables greeted him with, along with their Afghanistan deadline, their Covid failures, and their advertisement that the borders would be open when President Biden became president

The private sector's failure to anticipate a spike in demand once the country started opening up thanks to President Biden's massively successful vaccine rollout is the single largest contributor to inflation and supply chain issues. Of course the Deplorables spreading disinformation about Covid and vaccines has undermined President Biden's efforts to make America more resistant to another wave of Covid from the Delta variant, and that has added to the problem.

Based solely on things accomplished in far less than a years time, President Biden has more than delivered.

America is out of Afghanistan.

There has been a successful massive vaccine rollout.

There has been a historic rescue plan passed.

There has been a historic infrastructure bill passed.

America is viewed far more favorably worldwide.

There is a President who is reaponsive to natural disasters without regard to how people voted for him.

Additionally, President Biden is trying to pass the Build Back Better Framework that would mitigate a lot of the negative effects of inflation on those most severely impacted by it.

Not bad in far less than a year.

[Bud_Spencer]

Just take the first one:

Not only is it untrue, as thousands of Americans remian in Afghanistan, but we "got out" much the same way the Argies "got out" of the Falklands. It was an enormous disgrace and embarrassment, a true fuck-up of the first order, that alienated friends and emboldend foes.

 

[Lazaran]

.
America is OUT of the Afghanistan quagmire.

I'm sure there are a lot of people who would love to have America expending blood and treasure in Afghanistan so they can enjoy the benefits provided bu America's sacrifices.

Too bad, So SAD!!!

(Side note): Every other one of President Biden's accomplishments listed is common knowledge and easily verified.

 

[Bud_Spencer]

Surrender is certainly one was to end the war. I'll give you that, and it's the way most suited to Demented Joe.

The second "accomplishment" was Trump's. Biden just ran the play Trump called. But again, taking credit for the work of others is a long tradition in Joe's house.

He's not talking about Americans, only people who could legally live here. We keep hearing all this bullshit about "Americans left behind in Afghanistan," but on close examination all it comes down to is American supporters who had good reasons not to leave their country.

Known as green card holders. Yes, we abandoned them, too, along with allies, translators, support staff, etc. in the mad dash to meet the Senile One's deadline.

Pud pretends that President Biden didn't extend the deadline that was set by the traitor in chief by 4 months, and that President Biden advised Americans to leave Afghanistan in March.
