Yields on 10-year US Treasury bills are up 60 basis points since the outbreak of the Iran war, and you can bet that the mainstream media is spinning this like a broken record. CNN and NBC love to shroud these figures in ominous warnings, painting them as harbingers of doom and gloom. They’d have you believe that this surge in yields is a direct line to a catastrophic inflation crisis, pushing their narrative of instability. But guess what? They’re intentionally omitting the real story—the reckless fiscal policies that have been brewing long before the war started.

What’s the angle here? Corporate media loves a crisis. They feed on fear and anxiety, manipulating our emotions to fit their agenda. So while they hyperventilate about rising yields, they quietly ignore the impact of prior monetary policies that set the stage for this upheaval. You won’t hear Fox News or MSNBC clarifying that these yields have also historically fluctuated under various geopolitical events, reflecting more about market reactions than any singular inflationary threat.

It’s high time we ditch the corporate media’s alarmist drivel and take a hard look at the bigger picture. This isn’t just a momentary spike—it’s a reflection of deeper systemic issues that they’re more than happy to let slide as they trot out their favorite economic boogeymen. Fear sells, and right now it’s the hottest commodity in the news industry.
