Trump Economic Good News Ignored by Media Ahead of Midterms- www.newsbusters.org

When the networks try to drive President Trump’s approval rating as low as possible, they avoid presenting any positive news. In the first term, they routinely skipped good news. Now we’ve compiled “Five Economic Facts the Media Don’t Want You to Know” as we head into midterm elections. The good news is Not News.

In my 1996 book Pattern of Deception, I recounted how the networks aerobically denied that economic growth under George HW Bush was real, that the GDP was some kind of illusion. In our 2019 book Unmasked, we listed all the good economic news that the networks avoided. This is still happening. NewsBusters Managing Editor Curtis Houck and CNS News Managing Editor Craig Bannister analyze the good economic news.

Let’s start with this one: Trump’s 2025 tax cut bill lowered the average household’s taxes by nearly three thousand dollars. Or at least kept Trump tax cuts from expiring. The networks hate tax cuts, and routinely pretend they’re just for the wealthy, when they’re much broader than that.

Also: Inflation is lower during President Donald Trump’s second term in office than it was during the Biden Administration. But since it accumulates, the prices are still high.

Despite the war with Iran, the price of gas during Trump’s second term has never come close to its spike during Biden’s time in the White House. The average gas price in 2022 is close to the current average, and it went over $5 a gallon that year. Reporters routinely refer to “soaring” gas prices.
