Thank God for the media. The American people are obviously too dumb for their own good. They need professional journalists with elite educations and morally superior opinions to tell them what to care about and precisely how much to care about that thing.
Most Americans, for example, might have been somewhat concerned after learning that U.S. consumer prices remained high at 8.3 percent year on year and then watching the stock market plummet in response. Good thing our beloved media professionals were standing by to disabuse us of our ignorant assumptions.
As it turns out, these journalists explained, 8.3 percent inflation is actually a good thing and Democrats deserve credit for saving the American economy.
