Mostly strawmen. Not worth knocking most of them down.

And yet, several propane salesmen on this board attempt to argue those very things.

Though violent crime is near an all-time low (property crime is up a bit), and the economy is producing oodles of jobs (unemployment is also near an all-time low). Both of those topics can't be encapsulated in a one-liner, as they are more complex. But those are facts, which you can look up if you care to.

I suppose it depends on your frame of reference. Lots of folks in denial want to use 1990 as the frame of reference. Me, I prefer...5 years ago.

Zooming in, it took over 2 years for U-6 to return to pre-pandemic but is now trending up.

That's the raw, uncurated data, which is what I prefer to work off of.

That would probably be a good idea. If you actually read it, you'd see that they'll jump all over a Dem (e.g. Obama, Biden, Menendez) when they screw up. Sure, they may lean a bit left, but they aren't a propaganda rag. Drop the Gateway Pundit, and a few others, which isn't suitable for lining a bird cage.

The NYT does not such thing. They only "jump on" a democrat when they use the comical "Republicans pounce" or "Republicans seize" phrasing that allows them to not actually talk about what the latest malfeasance coming from the democrats is, but rather the fact that the Republicans are talking about it. It allows them to claim a veneer of journalistic credibility while in reality they're carrying water for the dnc.

No thanks. They are as far from credible journalism as anyone is.
