CNN Claims ‘Good News’ of Falling Prices ‘Might Be for Bad Reasons’
16th May 2025
CNN has a weird obsession with making itself look completely stupid by trying to stoke bad vibes whenever it has to report on any good news that can somehow benefit President Donald Trump. Instead of just reporting the straight news on price pressure relief for American consumers, CNN reporter Matt Egan instead chose May 14 to run one of the dumbest Tasmanian Devil spin headlines yet, “Good news! Prices are falling. But it might be for bad reasons.” Uh, what!
The Labor Department’s recently released inflation report showed a welcome unexpected slowdown in the increase of consumer prices against economists’ expectations. This was bolstered by the biggest monthly decline in grocery prices since September 2020 largely attributable to a whopping 12.4 percent decline in the retail price of eggs.
Yet, Egan, who is notorious for being a hapless Bidenomics simp, began his piece by noting that “The lowest inflation rate in four-years was made possible by a trend that will surely bring smiles to the faces of Americans: Falling prices.” Then came his absurd spin: “But not all price drops are created equal. Some of the good inflation news might be happening for a bad reason: a weakening economy.”
There’s no pleasing some people.
