"American Nostalgia: Misinformation and the Biden Economy"

Right-wing misinformation is distorting Americans' perceptions of the economy and inflation, leading to widespread belief in a false narrative of economic decline. Despite robust job creation and GDP growth, public opinion data shows a majority incorrectly believe inflation has risen and the economy has worsened. MSNBC's Morning Joe panel discussed the impact of partisan misinformation on public sentiment, highlighting the need for a different approach to address these misconceptions. The panel also criticized right-wing media for perpetuating false narratives about the economy, immigration, and transgender issues, contributing to a distorted public perception.
