Simon, you are so right....we MUST change the narrative. I sound like a broken record but the 'MSM" continues to promote the dissatisfaction of the people regarding the economy rather than tell the truth about it. Again, GMA showed some poll (not sure which) which said only about 20% or so thought we had a good economy. What will it take to get them on board with the truth?

Echoing what Annette D (Land O Lakes, FL) writes...I am fed up with MSM coverage of the Biden administration. Right now, I follow you (Thank you, Simon, for your economic updates and positive messaging advice) and The Meidas Touch Network (for their humor-laced "set-the-record-straight" political and fantastic legal coverage). Is there any hope that any of the MSM channels will change their negative click-bait approach? Just one might start a chain reaction.

This morning's Chattanooga Times Free Press quoted Sen. Bill Hagerty : "During his statewide economic development tour this week, U.S. Sen. Bill Hagerty said regulations and excessive spending from Biden and his Democratic allies in Congress have created the highest inflation rate in 40 years and made America more energy dependent upon the rest of the world than the energy independence achieved for the United States under former President Donald Trump."

This is a blatant lie. In the article above it states: "inflation down to 1.2% annualized (big deal!!!!)". Times Free Press doesn't allow comments to stories, like Washington Post does. They do have letters to the editor on Sundays, but they are due no later than Wednesday. What are some good suggestions to let people know his statement is false? I will share on FB not sure how effective it is.
