Biden Instructs His Fellow Party Members in the "Journalism" Corps to Start Reporting on the Economy "the Right Way"

Giving orders to the party apparatchiks.

Now I know what you're thinking: You're thinking, "Gee, ace, our press corps is so independent-minded, courageous, and immune from social pressure from other liberals that they'll completely reject this demand!"

Boy you guys just never get sick of thinking Things That Are Wrong. You're really starting the new year off on the wrong foot.

President Joe Biden hit out against recent news coverage of his economic policies, expressing confidence in the state of the economy heading into 2024 and criticizing reporters for failing to represent the current economy in "the right way."

"All good," Biden said in brief remarks over the weekend when asked about his outlook on the economy next year. "Take a look. Start reporting it the right way."

Biden is also telling his eager allies in the Marxist Media to portray his border crisis in a positive light. Austin Bay calls this the Afghanistan Withdrawal Ploy, because Biden likewise commanded his "journalist" water-carriers to portray the bloody catastrophe of that withdrawal as a victory.

Joe Biden, as reported by Reuters: "...I need not tell you (Ghani) the perception around the world and in parts of Afghanistan, I believe, is that things aren't going well in terms of the fight against the Taliban. And there's a need, whether it is true or not, there is a need to project a different picture."

Translation for Ghani: Ignore the debacle on the ground and tell a rosy lie that politically benefits me, Joe Biden.

No impeachment here, though!

The statement is undisputed. Also undisputed: On July 23, 2021, the Afghanistan debacle was in full swing, and the Biden administration was denying it then, pivoting to blame any and all problems on former President Donald Trump.

Which takes us to Mexico City, Dec. 27, 2023, where Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas met with Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador (aka AMLO).

The State Department's Dec. 22 press release hyping the Blinken-Mayorkas meetup with AMLO says -- in self-important and arrogantly vague language -- the principals will discuss the "unprecedented irregular migration in the Western Hemisphere and identify ways Mexico and the U.S. will address border security challenges..." Blinken will also "reaffirm the U.S.'s commitment to the Los Angeles Declaration for Migration and Protection."

That's another giveaway The Ploy is being employed. The LA Declaration dates from June 2022 and ostensibly addresses controlling hemispheric migration issues. It abounds with noble words like "collaboration," "solidarity," "shared responsibility," "partnership with civil society and international organizations," et cetera. The lofty words are code justifying and masking the Biden administration's open border policy. Revelatory declaration phrase: "the imperative of promoting safe, orderly, and regular migration..." Rhetorical trick: Lumping all migrants in with "asylum seekers" and "refugees."

Sane laws recognize the difference between the genuinely desperate and lawbreakers entering illegally.

The Heritage Foundation's Simon Hawkinson wrote in 2022 "...the declaration does nothing to address the core problem: zero (law) enforcement at our border, which sends a clear signal to smugglers and would-be migrants across the Americas and the Caribbean that our door is wide open."

That's why the "irregular migration" Blinken bewails is unprecedented: Biden's wide-open door.

But there's a need to project a different picture, whether true or not.
