Media Must Stop Misleading the Public on Inflation

MAGA-aligned media outlets rushed to celebrate the November inflation report as proof of economic success — even as economists warned the data offered a distorted and incomplete picture. By selectively framing the numbers, these outlets presented a “mirage” that downplayed ongoing cost pressures facing many Americans.

When media figures oversell economic data to score political points, they misinform audiences and erode public trust. Responsible journalism requires context, caution, and honesty — not cherry-picked narratives designed to mislead.

Add your name to demand accurate, responsible economic reporting that puts facts before politics.
