CNN’s bias is on full display.
People are calling out CNN over their coverage of the latest inflation data versus how they covered much higher inflation data under Joe Biden.
Senior Editor at the Daily Wire, Cabot Phillips, tweeted out this photo showing the difference.
CNN is facing social media backlash after a social media user pointed out a perceived disparity in how the outlet framed the economy under President Donald Trump versus former President Joe Biden.
Following a Tuesday post on X from CNN regarding inflation under Trump, Daily Wire senior editor Cabot Phillips pointed to a contrast in how inflation is framed now compared to Biden’s time in office.
In March 2023, CNN posted to their X account that “US inflation is still high, but it’s falling,” noting that the previous month’s “Consumer Price Index measured 6%, down from January’s 6.4%.”
Fast-forward to 2026, the outlet wrote on X that “US inflation remained at 2.7% in December, underscoring persistent cost of living challenges.”
CNN got called out.

For CNN, a 6% inflation rate under Biden was considered good, but a 2% inflation rate under Trump is considered bad. pic.twitter.com/2b4N5ajHTn

Inflation came in cooler than expected in December.
On the heels of ‘solid’ labor market data from BLS (lower unemployment), ADP (weekly employment change remaining positive), and a rebound in Small Business Optimism; this morning we get a glimpse of the other side of The Fed’s mandate as the last CPI print for 2025 prints. From what we can tell, President Trump did not drop any hints this time ahead of the release which was expected to be flat from November’s prints.
The headline CPI print rose 0.3% MoM (vs +0.3% MoM exp) driving prices up 2.7% on a YoY basis (vs +2.7% YoY exp)
This is why they are called the Fake News media.
