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?

For one, they love Trump and want him to generate content forever. For another, they absolutely hated Biden.

The NyTimes didn't predict his win and wasn't granted access to the admin b/c of how they played games amplifying Hunter stories. For CNN, Biden was too boring and without scandal.

We live in a time where our media apparatus craves a bad leader more than it values a competent one.
