\u201cAfter downplaying<\/strong> concerns about the economy in the last year, some media outlets are now panicking<\/strong> that high gas prices and inflation will tank Democrats in the midterm elections, with some pundits even scolding<\/strong> voters for making it a priority.
\u201cWashington Post columnist Catherine Rampell told readers that it was a \u2018wild fantasy\u2019 to believe the GOP could lower gas prices, as she warned<\/strong> voters to \u2018think carefully about what they\u2019ll get if they cast their ballot based on gas prices,\u2019 in a Sunday opinion piece.\u201d
\u201cQuoting colleague E.J. Dionne, she cautioned<\/strong> that if Republicans win in November that could lead to \u2018far more radical<\/strong> and sinister<\/strong> forces\u2019 trying to \u2018undermine democracy<\/strong>.\u2019
\u201cOn MSNBC’s \u2018Morning Joe,\u2019 branding guru Donny Deutsch fretted<\/strong> that pocketbook issues would win out with voters this year and in 2024 as more important to them than America’s democracy<\/strong> being \u2018in peril<\/strong>.\u2019
\u201cMSNBC host Joy Reid and political analyst Matthew Dowd characterized a red wave as a \u2018threat<\/strong>\u2019 the media needed to warn<\/strong> voters against on Monday.
\u201c\u2018We have to tell the voters what the threat<\/strong> is just like we do, Joy, we tell them about inflation, and we tell them about job growth, and we tell them about a hurricane, and we tell them about tornadoes, and we tell them about wildfire, we have to treat this assault just like we have to tell them about the assault<\/strong> on democracy<\/strong>,\u2019 Dowd said.
\u201cFellow MSNBC host Tiffany Cross took the same approach on her show Saturday, complaining<\/strong> that inflation was more of a concern for voters than the Jan. 6 committee hearings.
\u201c\u2018Come this November, will voters be more concerned with saving money than saving democracy<\/strong>?\u2019 the \u2018Cross Connection\u2019 host asked.
\u201cCross griped<\/strong> that inflation and \u2018high prices\u2019 dominated media coverage, which led Americans to be less interested in the \u2018compelling<\/strong> testimonies and evidence\u2019 in the Jan. 6 committee hearings.\u201d
\u201c\u2018The View\u2019 host Joy Behar absolved<\/strong> Biden of any responsibility for the energy crisis and said Republicans just wanted to make Biden \u2018look bad<\/strong>.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
