Vox News mocked and ridiculed over article claiming inflation isn't the real problem hurting Democrats



Liberal news outlet Vox News was roundly ridiculed on social media after publishing an article trying to downplay the damage from inflation.

"The problem isn't inflation. It's the prices," read the headline.

The article outlined the argument that the overall inflation rate had decreased after a painful increase but that prices of goods and services had maintained their higher levels, leading to economic angst.

Critics on social media lambasted the article for what many saw as a semantic argument.

"Are people laboring over this to try to help Biden politically or something? Prices are 'high' because inflation went way above target until very recently. And a significant part of that was caused by overly-stimulatory macroeconomic policy," responded Ryan Bourne of the Cato Institute.

"I thought people were joking about this headline from Vox... but it's real," replied Ed Morrissey of Hot Air.

"The problem isn’t the heat, it’s the temperature," joked another user.

"What gender studies major with 200K of school debt wrote the headline?" replied one critic.

"This is why people are angry and why good economic news doesn't seem so great. S*** STILL costs a lot more today than it did just a few years ago. When officials say inflation is tamed, people are like, wait, what?" read another response.

Inflation has been among the main concerns of Americans who have said in polls that they trust Republicans on the economy far more than Democrats. One poll from August found that far more Americans, 54%, trusted Republicans, than the 45% who said they trusted Democrats.

Liberal pundits have furiously declared that that this opinion is being made out of ignorance and have tried to argue that Biden's economic policies have been unfairly slandered. In October, liberal economist Paul Krugman was mocked when he proclaimed that the war on inflation was won at little cost.

Liberals lambast MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell for contradicting Biden on supply chain issues: 'She is a TRAITOR to America'



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.

"The president is saying that mission accomplished practically!" she said, referring to an embarrassing incident during former President George W. Bush's term in office.

"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."

Many on the left took to social media to defend Biden and scold Mitchell for questioning his claims. Some were incensed that the chyron read, "empty shelves" as her guests discussed the various supply chain issues in the nation.

"Just Saying: Andrea Mitchell Reports is like an hour of Biden bashing. Damn people stop tuning this b*tch in she is a TRAITOR to America," said one popular tweet with over 1,4000 likes.

"Stop watching Andrea Mitchell. Stop talking about Andrea Mitchell. Her ratings will plummet. Her social media presence will disappear, problem solved," read another tweet.

"Way to go Andrea Mitchell calling Biden a liar. Oh, his claims are fictitious. I'm sure Trump will be quoting you soon," said another critic.

"What a misleading headline. MSM will not give him a break," read another tweet.

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.
