When legacy media outlets shill for an administration ahead of midterms, the propaganda is usually delivered in a semi-believable headline that doesn’t cause readers to immediately call bullshit.
Not CBS…
In a late Tuesday tweet, the network asserted that “The U.S. economy has been hit with increased gas prices, inflation, and supply-chain issues due to the Ukraine crisis.”
Wait, what?

That’s right – forget the last 6 months of Jen Psaki and President Biden pushing lies about ‘transitory’ price increases (blaming Covid and climate change, among other things). All you need to know, dear voter, is that Vladimir Putin is now to blame for the crippling inflation.
Nevermind the price of oil and CPI for the last 18 months.
Oh.
The actual article itself is just as bad – with dramatic fear mongering and predictions of worse to come – all thanks to the Ukraine situation.
CBS’s tweet was widely mocked, and earned a blistering ‘ratio’ (when comments far outweigh ‘likes’ – suggesting a tweet is way off base).
Recall what Biden said less than 90 days ago – that supply chain challenges due to ‘global challenges like climate change and Covid’ were ‘making it difficult’ to produce simple items.
They changed the story.https://t.co/fRT3AHju7j

The establishment's bloodlust for war–in which I include the corporate press–cannot be overstated.

See B.S. News broadcasts race of Bat People found living on the Moon proof Moon Landing was faked.There realy was news Story over 100 years more or less about a tribe of Bat People on the moon
It was a trial balloon sent out to test the stupidity of the American voter. If they bought it, Democrats could utilize far less election fraud than used in 2020. Bad news: much, much, more will be required.
People get removed (permanently) from Facebook and Twitter for less dishonesty than that.
CBS rightfully ought to lose its FCC permit to use our public airwaves!
