Fox News declares inflation over – Kevin Drum

Guess what? Inflation is over! According to Fox News, anyway:

Inflation itself hasn’t changed over the past couple of weeks, but for some reason Fox News doesn’t seem to care about it anymore. Here’s a longer look:

Sadly, the Internet Archive suffered some technical difficulties right before the election, so the series is interrupted. But as you can see, for months and months Fox hosts were obsessed with inflation, mentioning it 10 to 20 times a day. This week it’s down to two or three.

Remarkable, no? Inflation has been running around 3% for more than a year but it remained vitally newsworthy anyway the whole time. Until November 6.
