If there’s a more perfect headline that encapsulates media malfeasance, we’re hard-pressed to think of it. This writer was one of the many voices who said, all throughout the election, that the biggest issue was the economy. Inflation was harming Americans while Democrats pretended everything was fine.
It was not fine.
But media insisted we ignore our eyes, ears, and wallets and listen to them.
Then Donald Trump won reelection and now:

Tricked? TRICKED?!
They were not tricked. They were complicit in lying about it.
Remember how Tim Walz said the prices on grocery store shelves were ‘misinformation’ and ‘price gouging’?
Who could have tricked them? https://t.co/rpn9DNuGdX

In fairness to Politico, if you were getting massive kickbacks from USAID, you’d think the economy was good, too.
How you people have any self-respect I’ll never know

They have no self-respect.
They weren’t tricked. They knowingly, willingly lied to try and prop up a midwit whose brain was/is melting away. https://t.co/G6cy7kxamX

Exactly this.
And if Politico is talking about Democratic voters, they were absolutely tricked. By Politico.
Democrats tricked their voters into believing the economy was strong.

A better headline.
Lmao.
Cut the USAID funding of a journalistic platform and suddenly they start to sing. https://t.co/0qTNEH7Kly

Like the canary in the coal mine.
“Who are you gonna believe, me or your own eyes?” was not the most winning strategy in hindsight https://t.co/lXaQ9Qcny7

It was not. They were warned. Multiple times.
I want to watch Will Stancil be forced to read every word of this article out loud in a dunce cap like at a Cultural Revolution struggle session https://t.co/zlqq8yFNBn

Ah, yes. Will Stancil.
And if you thought the post and the headline were doozies, wait until you see what Politico wrote in the body of the article.

That was this writer’s reaction.
Holy cow.
This is running in Politico. https://t.co/6ymcm9oiWw pic.twitter.com/3QqKqrAA7H

Oh. My. God.
They wrote that with a straight face and everything.
Media, including Politico, pushed the narrative that the economy was great in order to drag Kamala Harris’ wine-drunk carcass across the finish line in November.
