Why do we never hear about who or what people blame for inflation?

I've never seen any polls about it

1. The simple mindedness of the coverage is

unbelievable. Anyone can scream "Voters only care about inflation" a million times. I can. Where's my cable news anchor job?

2. Because it's just too complicated for the people who talk about it.

4. Exactly

3. It's Joe Biden CRT, Wokeness, BLM, ANTIFA, Soros, Alinksy, Ivermectin, and Benghazi!!! nt

11. You left out

5. Inflation is an American way.

An uncomfortable correction that IMO raises us up in the end.

6. We do hear 'blame,' but economics ain't no science,

and few know.

Fortunately some do.

7. Why? There's too much money to be made. Keep it vague. It's good for business. n/t

8. Why do we never hear what Repugs actually plan to do about it??

They have no plan. Just criticism and ugliness.

9. Lazy journalism.

And the right wingers who own the media don’t want to air intelligent conversations. They want a quick sound bite the MAGAts can use to spin their story. “See, Americans are pissed off at Biden about inflation! If we don’t win there was cheating involved!”

10. Katie Porter has that answer

I can't get to it now, but look at the last YouTube on her.

12. Watch Katie Porter and Robert Reich...

Pretty clear it's profiteering...but MSM needs the profiteers to buy as time

13. Because the media does not want to say it's because of greedy corporate GOP supporters who

are raising prices to hurt Biden and those who are not among the wealthy.

14. I've noticed that. News showing people complaining about inflation but never long enough

for us to know what or who they blame for it.

Last time I remember somebody did was an NBC story on a white middle class family that began with the wife at the gas pump complaining about prices -- she was driving an absurdly enormous SUV-tank vehicle that made her seem tiny standing next to it. Then the husband in the kitchen preparing something, all processed food. Kitchen full of processed food, although one scene in the supermarket showed the wife buying a bog of potatoes. I assumed they'd blame Biden for high gas prices and inflation, but no! Corporate greed. Maybe MSM thinks it's best not for us to hear that, so show the complaining but not the blaming and let us assume it's Biden's fault.
