Moderna, a major beneficiary of President Donald Trump’s Operation Warp Speed, announced yesterday its vaccine had achieved nearly 95 percent effectiveness against COVID-19. Afterwards, stocks skyrocketed to break records.

But if you were watching the ABC and NBC evening news shows last night, you heard nothing about the stock market.

Following the Moderna vaccine news the Dow Jones Industrial Average gained a massive 470.63 points “to 29950.44, its first record close since February and within striking distance of the yet-to-be-reached 30000 milestone,” The Wall Street Journal reported. Its last record was February 12, when the Dow closed at 29,551.42. The Dow has erased all of its pandemic losses and moved past its February peak. But that’s not all. The S&P 500 also jumped “to a second consecutive record close, with the benchmark index gaining 41.76 points, or 1.2% to 3626.91.”

“that won’t last long. soon, they’ll report it as booming economic recovery because the world knows that Biden will be taking office soon.”

Just remember, the stock market isn’t the economy. The market will initially do very well. Why? The flood of cheap labor from the opened southern border, and the opening of China for building new factories.

Neither of which is good for a middle class American. A species that is soon to be endangered.

didn’t say it was economically sound; I just said those are the kinds of reports we’ll start seeing.

I keep asking myself:

How long will these networks survive after lying to our faces for so long & outright withholding news of all kinds???

Who assigned them the job of twisting the news like this???
