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.
