Yet another hit-piece from Democrat-fellating shills at CNBC

Hit-piece from Democrat-fellating CNBC.  Headline: 

Consumer sentiment tumbles in April as inflation fears spike

Under that is a section named "Key Points:"

Respondents’ expectation for inflation a year from now leaped to 6.7%, the highest level since November 1981 and up from 5% in March.

How many readers read that as "Inflation leaped to 6.7%, up from 5% in March," eh?

If you think that was an accident--just poor sentence construction--you're too dumb to breathe.

Consumer sentiment grew even worse than expected in April as the expected inflation level hit its highest since 1981, a closely watched University of Michigan survey showed Friday.

The survey’s mid-month reading on consumer sentiment fell to 50.8, down from 57.0 in March.... a 10.9% monthly change and 34.2% lower than a year ago. It was lowest reading since June 2022 and the second-lowest in the survey’s history going back to 1952.

Wait...who was the nominal president in 2022?  Not one reader in a hundred will stop to recall who it was--and the rat-fucking Democrats who wrote the CNBC piece are careful to not remind you.

As sentiment moved lower, inflation worries surged.  Respondents’ expectation for inflation a year from now leaped to 6.7%, the highest level since November 1981 and up from 5% in March.

Other measures in the survey also showed *deterioration.*

The current economic conditions index fell to 56.5, an 11.4% drop from March, while the expectations measure slipped to 47.2, a 10.3% fall and its lowest since May 1980.  *On an annual basis, the two measures dropped 28.5% and 37.9% respectively.*

Stocks turned negative following the report...

“Consumers have spiraled from anxious to petrified,” wrote [a Democrat shill].

Survey director Joanne Hsu said “Consumers report multiple warning signs that raise the risk of recession.  [Every indicator] continued to deteriorate this month.”

The survey showed unemployment fears rising to their highest since 2009.

For young Americans: that means "unemployment fears" were higher in 2009.  Anyone recall who was president then?  If you're under 26 now you may not recall, because in 2009 you would have been younger than 10.  CNBC could have told you but didn't, cuz...reasons.  Hmmm...

The survey comes amid concerns that President Donald Trump’s tariffs will raise inflation and slow growth, with some prominent Wall Street executives and economists expecting the U.S. could teeter on recession over the next year.

What the CNBC shills carefully don't tell readers is that "leading economic indicators" have been showing recession coming since mid-2024, long before Trump won, and indeed back when all the polls showed the Democrats were likely to retain the White House.
  And finally, in the 24th 'graf we see this:

To be sure, the survey’s readings are generally counter to market-based expectations, which indicate little fear of inflation ahead.  However...

Wait...what are "market-based expectations"?  Whatever they are, by CNBC only noting this way down in the 24th 'graf it's clear they don't want readers to think they're significant, eh?
  The term "market-based expectations" is wonderfully cryptic to the average reader.  It means what professionals think the economy will do.  And the pro's ignore propaganda from Mainstream Media shills like CNBC because they know it's horseshit.
  So "market-based expectations" are what the pro's think--but since that doesn't support CNBC's hit-piece, they carefully hide this debunking fact in the 24th 'graf, because they know most readers don't read that far.

Federal Reserve officials say they fear that consumer expectations can quickly become reality if behavior changes.

Wow, really?  And "if behavior changes," your son could turn into a girl with a quick sex-change operation too, eh?

Consumer and producer inflation readings this week showed price pressures easing in March.

Wait..."price pressures easing"?  Seems like that contradicts the whole thrust of your shitty hit-piece, eh?  Which is why you bury it in the 30th 'graf--where only one reader out of 200 will see it.

If you haven't already guessed, there's a war going on in this country: the Dems know their best chance to win back control of both House and senate in the 2026 mid-terms is to scare voters about the economy.  So the Media are running one hit-piece after another on the economy.

See, the Dems bleated that dere wuz NO way the massive invasion of illegal aliens across our southern border could be stopped--and then Trump essentially stopped it in 30 days.  

The magic Obozo bleated "All those jobs are gone!  Trump says he can bring 'em back, but does he have a magic wand?"   The Dems cackled with glee over how clever dat wuz!  Their media shills repeatedly bleated that it was impossible to reduce unemployment.  But evidently Trump did have a magic wand, producing the lowest rate of unemployment in 50 years--despite all the Dems claiming it was impossible.

Control of either chamber will enable the Democrats to block all helpful America-first laws from being passed.  Unable to pass good laws or repeal awful Dem ones, things are likely to decline, handing the Dems the presidency in 2028.

It's brilliant.  And from the Democrat viewpoint, the beauty is that almost no one other than the experts understands the economy.  Massive layoffs by a hundred big companies in the first 9 months of 2024 (with the Dems in power) signaled a recession coming, but now you see endless articles talking about "the Trump recession."  He's been in office for 74 days.  The recession was locked in by June of last year.  

Dem shills: "NOOooo, dat not true!  A few dozen big companies layin' people off in duh same six months din' mean *nuffin'!*  Big companies don't know nuffin' 'bout economic trends!  Dey wuz jus' doin' normal "adjustments," an' a bunch jus' did duh same "adjustments" at duh same time!  Yeh, dat's it!"

And they expect you to believe that crap.

Behold, Americans: This is what passes for reasoning in the Democrat party and the Mainstream Media.

These are the same morons who say the U.S. must close our coal-fired powerplants to save duh Erf, but totally ignore the fact that for the last five years China has been opening an average of two coal-fired plants every WEEK.

Americans are forced to pay a lot more for electricity so Chinese consumers and businesses can pay less.  When bribem was in power Democrats and their media allies never said a word about that.  

But now that Trump is president, *suddenly* they're screaming about inflation.

So the question of who wins the mid-term elections get down to how many Americans believe the Mainstream Media, and demagogues like Chuckie Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries and the moronic Cory Booker, versus how many do their own research.

I'm not optimistic.

For example:  After the breathless, hair-on-fire "key point" in the CNBC hit-piece about "6.7% inflation" (even though the didn't literally *say* that), how many of ya heard the actual number for inflation for March, from the government, released just yesterday?

In March the Consumer Price Index dropped 0.1 percent.

If you think there's not a huge war going on for control of the government in this country, think again.
