In the latest episode of CNN’s ongoing “What Inflation?” series, Keith Boykin treated the Biden years’ 9 percent peaks like a mild case of gas station sticker shock that never happened — prompting Scott Jennings to deliver a masterclass in not letting the network memory-hole an entire economic nightmare. “There was no inflation during Biden."
You heard it here on CNN,” Jennings deadpanned, because nothing says journalistic integrity like pretending Americans didn’t notice their grocery bills and mortgages turning into science fiction while the White House insisted everything was fine.

These people.
