On Thursday morning Harris Faulkner, a Fox News host that they pretend is a “straight news”<\/em> journalist, reported on the announcement<\/a><\/strong> that the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) unexpectedly rose more than anticipated for the third quarter of 2022. The 2.6% growth was welcomed by President Biden who said in a statement<\/a><\/strong> that…<\/p>\n “For months, doomsayers have been arguing that the US economy is in a recession and Congressional Republicans have been rooting for a downturn. But today we got further evidence that our economic recovery is continuing to power forward.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n RELATED: Fox News Blatantly Lies that Biden \u2018Praised\u2019 High Gas Prices When He Actually Criticized Them<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Despite the unambiguously good news, Faulkner sought to portray it as evidence of an economic apocalypse. She began by regurgitating conservative media “concerns for the liberal political party that President Joe Biden just spent too much time talking about abortion last week.”<\/em> It is unlikely that the majority of Americans who favor reproductive choice think too much time was spent on the issue.<\/p>\n Faulkner then segued to her criticism of Democrats for supposedly switching gears and “trying to go all in on the economy.”<\/em> Of course, she can only assert that by ignoring the fact that Democrats have been viscerally engaged in economic issues for months, but that Republicans have been obstructing them at every turn. The GOP voted almost in lock-step against Democratic initiatives to lower drug prices, reduce child poverty, extend unemployment benefits, raise the minimum wage, prohibit gas price gouging, limit the cost of insulin, go after rich tax cheats, expand baby formula production, make the wealthy pay their fair share, and more.<\/p>\n But Faulkner wasn’t finished. She also complained that inflation and interest rates were “robbing people of any chance to realize the American Dream.”<\/em> Never mind that her party and network stood in the way of resolving those matters. And she had the audacity to say that Democrats were “finally now trying to convince voters that they care about the economy.”<\/em> Again, she simply wasn’t paying attention. Or more accurately, she was lying.<\/p>\n But Faulkner still wasn’t finished. She also said that the new GDP numbers were “not much for [Democrats] to work with,”<\/em> and that they were just a “slight uptick in the third quarter.”<\/em> That allegedly slight uptick actually wiped out the negative numbers posted in the previous two quarters combined.<\/p>\n But Faulkner still wasn’t finished. She concluded with remarks that didn’t even make sense…<\/p>\n “If Democrats truly believe that Americans would not understand or care about this, then why are they suddenly trying to convince the voters that the economy is all the Republicans fault? They are in dire straits, Democrats are, with voters. And they know it.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Huh? She prefaces that comment with a bizarre assertion that Democrats “believe that Americans would not understand or care”<\/em> about the economy. Where she gets that from is a complete mystery. But her inference from that non sequitur somehow leads to Democrats faulting Republicans for the economy. Well, considering the GOP’s deliberate efforts to prevent any solutions, Democrats would be quite right in assigning that blame.<\/p>\n That would be bad enough if it stopped there. But Republicans are openly promising to sabotage the economy in order to improve their electoral prospects in the midterms and in 2024. Thay have said so explicitly. Funny, Faulkner never mentioned any of that.<\/p>\n RELATED: The GOP\u2019s Not-So-Secret Plot to Sabotage the Economy if They Gain Control of Congress<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n NOTE:<\/strong> Twitter suspended the News Corpse account after 11 years without giving a reason.
