Up is down, black is white, in is out, and wrong is right
The Bizarros at Fox News stand reality on its head every day and make money for the Murdoch family doing it. The Fox audience tunes in to lap up bald-faced lies. Here their talking heads claim that Donald Trump turned aound the “miserable” Obama economy (that crashed under George W. Bush). Joe Biden’s looks the same to them, dontcha know?
MSNBC contributor Brian Tyler Cohen (No Lie with Brian Tyler Cohen) was having none of this Foxsense. He responds on the hellsite:
Every good economic trend that happened under Trump started under Obama.
Trump then wrecked it with his disastrous COVID response, and Biden fixed it.
Cohen backs that up with some Washington Post graphics from September 5, 2020 (the thick of the pandemic):
Now let’s get some current data for the Biden administration. I can’t find a chart-for-chart comparison, but….
The current unemployment rate is 3.7%. The unemployment rate under Trump before the pandemic was 3.5%.
The S&P 500 closed on Friday at 4,769.83. It peaked at 4,766.18 at the end of 2021.
Job creation is another point of departure between Trump and Biden.
Alice’s Looking Glass World was at least fanciful and fun. Fox’s world is just a Bizarro version of the real one. The least Fox could do is give Bat Boy his own primetime show. He’d be as credible as the rest of these clowns.
