Veteran MSNBC journalist Andrea Mitchell faced the fury of online liberals when she contradicted an economic narrative being pushed by the White House days before Christmas.
Mitchell was trending nationally on Twitter on Wednesday for comments made on her show where she pointed out that President Joe Biden was declaring victory prematurely against the crisis in the supply chain.
"He says that the shelves are 90% full, that is certainly anecdotal and probably spotty, and it's also, you know, larger manufactured goods that are harder to get, construction elements," she explained. "I can tell you about home repairs, but that's another story. So there's still a supply chain problem, but perhaps Christmas shopping is a little bit easier than somebody feared."
Defenders of the president have often taken to social media in order to try to beat down journalists who dare to report anything that might damage the reputation of Biden ahead of the midterm elections. In November many excoriated CNN for a report documenting how inflation was hurting working families. Inflation has only worsened since that report.
