13. Because, rather than report the economic facts
Sat May 17, 2025, 09:28 AM
May 2025

the Press would search out voters who still were upset with inflation and report "voter's feel" instead of what the economy actually was.
Or even though we had low unemployment, the Press would find those without a job and report on "those the economy left behind". As if there aren't always people out of work.
