CNN’s Resident Hall Monitor Ushers in the Most Wacked Hot Take of All on Supply Chain Crisis – Opinion

If ever a weekend existed where our supposed intellectual betters on the left and in the mainstream media demonstrated in no uncertain terms how they just don’t get it and how absolutely out of touch they are with average Americans, this past weekend was it.

For example, as we reported Sunday, MSNBC/NBC News “business correspondent” and noted Democrat apologist Stephanie Ruhle cheerfully declared that the “dirty little secret” about the Joe Biden economy was that things really weren’t so bad for the American people right now, that inflation has been a thing for a while now and that reports that retail sales will be through the roof for the holidays was proof that everything was just fine, move along, nothing to see.

Donna Brazile (former Chair of the Democratic National Committee) made a similar statement on ABC News. She, like Ruhle, has a good salary and a comfortable residence. Chris Christie that “you’ve got to be smart when you go out and shop today,” suggesting that if you were, you should be okay no matter your income.

But we might have found the scorching media/Dem hot take on the economy and supply chain crisis that beats them both, courtesy of CNN’s resident media hall monitor Brian Stelter. Last we checked, he wasn’t an expert on economic matters but he must have stayed at a Holiday Inn Express at some point last week based on this wacked tweet he posted Saturday showing a photo of a grocery store fully stocked with milk and insinuating that because of that the supply chain crisis must be over:

“The supply chain!” She exclaims as she searches for milk for her 2-year-old daughter

He responded, “Look at that amazing, abundant abundance.” pic.twitter.com/g4haMj0VT2

It’s a shame. It was Sunday afternoon, and I saw the milk section in a nearby grocery store looking empty and in dire need of replenishment. So I guess in a matter of the time between Stelter’s tweet and my trip to the grocery store the supply chain crisis he seemed to suggest was over was suddenly back on?

The reality is that milk supplies do not determine whether the supply chain crisis has ended or continues, as Paul Krugman, a Nobel Prize-winning economist, will remind us.

Last I checked, milk isn’t brought to American households by way of cargo ships stuck off the coast of California. He must know, I suppose. Right?

It was a miracle that we managed to rescue the dairy cows from cargo ships in the Pacific. https://t.co/AKtZfnjD5H

Stelter might be better off focusing on journalism rather than weighing in on topics he doesn’t know much about. But then again, he’s not very good at that either, so I don’t know what to advise him here except to maybe suggest he delete his Twitter account before subjecting us to any more of his fabled “brilliance.” Enough is enough.
