Bob Unruh went full partisan in an Aug. 5 WorldNetDaily article:
It apparently was triggered by a horrific jobs report just days ago under the economic practices being used by Joe Biden and Kamala Harris in America.
Now the stock market is turning into a huge flop, and analysts are expressing concerns that there is a recession on the horizon – possibly even a depression.
American stocks were down by significant margins, sometimes up to 10% for Apple, for example, as the markets across the United States reacted to huge collapses in foreign stock markets overnight.
Market commentator Stuart Varney said the selloff involves several factors, including a housing market in trouble – the high interest rates under Biden’s economy have cut many people out of the market entirely. And a growing economic slowdown. And inflation. And more.
[…]Then there’s also the war campaigns around the world that have exploded under Biden’s leadership in America. And there’s politics and the election.
Unruh went on to acknowledge where his talking points came from: “Republicans wasted no time in highlighting that Biden and Harris have been making the nation’s economic decisions of late, including spending packages of trillions of dollars.”
Unruh pushed this partisan narrative again in another article that day:
Joe Biden has been known to brag, to boast, to claim he’s done things that just haven’t happened.
Closing the border? He’s claimed that’s a done deal, yet it’s anything but.
Now Biden has unleashed a real doozy.
He said he’s “cured” the economy.
This claim came not even a week before a global financial meltdown heading into the weekend and continuing Monday essentially vaporized some $2 TRILLION.
It was, in fact, only days ago a reporter asked Biden, “What do you want your legacy for Gen Z to be?”
Biden’s claim: “That I cured the economy. And the environment. And a few other small things.”
Unruh again surprisingly admitted where he got his talking points from: “The RNC Research team that posted the video said, “(His ‘legacy’ will be his obvious cognitive decline – which Kamala covered up. Scandal of the century!”)” He also quoted his preferred presidential candidate: “President Donald Trump said, ‘STOCK MARKETS ARE CRASHING, JOBS NUMBERS ARE TERRIBLE, WE ARE HEADING TO WORLD WAR III, AND WE HAVE TWO OF THE MOST INCOMPETENT ‘LEADERS’ IN HISTORY. THIS IS NOT GOOD!!!'”
If Unruh is just rewriting Republican talking points, doesn’t that make him a partisan shill instead of an objective reporter? It would appear so.
Meanwhile, WND has censored the fact that the stock market recovered and returned to its previous levels, as we pointed out when Newsmax tried to make partisan hay of this brief dip. That’s even more evidence that WND is completely untrustworthy as a legitimate source of news.
UPDATE: An anonymously written Aug. 6 WND article touted an ad by the Trump campaign blaming the “Kamala Krash” on Biden ad Harris, embedding a WND tweet claiming the ad is “highlighting the Democrat [sic] nominee’s disasterous [sic] economic policies.”
