As Twitchy reported this week, CNN’s Oliver Darcy wrote in his “Reliable Sources” newsletter that senior Biden administration officials had been holding briefings with major newsrooms “as they try to reshape economic coverage.” Poor Chief of Staff Ron Klain is out there tweeting about how the price of gas continues to fall even as the numbers show that inflation is surging at the fastest rate since 1982. Klain and President Biden are trying to get the word out about how the economy is booming, but the media has been failing him in getting the message across.
Now the New York Times is reporting that Biden sees a booming economy, and the White House has no plans to shift the president’s messaging on economic issues despite voters’ concerns over inflation.
“White House officials say they have no plans to shift Biden’s messaging on economic issues, even as poll after poll shows his approval ratings in decline and voter worry over inflation swamping all other views of the economy,” via @jimtankersley https://t.co/1Xbl1JzJFq

“The president has struggled to sell strong growth and job gains,” they write.
Why would they, they have newsrooms in the tank now. https://t.co/q7BAaJymZA

Because they're taking the much easier path of shifting the media's messaging. https://t.co/BRjZ3JLuz0

They already summoned reporters to a briefing and the reporters followed orders to produce more positive media coverage about the economy

“Vote for me because you’re too dumb to see how great I’m doing” is a pitch-perfect message for the midterms https://t.co/n8rDVrjmks

No reason to change the messaging. Liberal kids love living in a world of rainbows and unicorns.
The rest of us? Not so much. https://t.co/sraCzkXvlA— Jessa G. (@SweetGaelicGirl) December 11, 2021

This is good news for the midterms. Let’s hope the White House sticks to this winning strategy.
