Why has US media become obsessed with inflation ahead of the elections?
The US media is most interested in the issue of inflation and a possible recession ahead of the presidential elections; the top three most frequently mentioned issues are also migrants and abortion rights, while restrictions on the termination of pregnancy are increasingly covered this year, as well as problems in the economy, according to Sputnik calculations.
Inflation and economic problems were mentioned in the media almost 37,000 times before August this year. In previous election years, this topic also interested the US media more than others: in 2016, it was mentioned almost 25,000 times, and in 2020, 19,500 times.
The next most mentioned issues are abortion rights (more than 3,000 materials this year) and the situation with migrants and problems at the border (more than 2,900). In the previous election year, 2020, these issues were mentioned only a few hundred times.
The problem of undocumented immigrants was not as actively covered in the media when Trump's presidential term was ending: in 2020 it was written about about 634 times, but in 2016, when Trump was running for office with Hillary Clinton and Obama's second term was ending, there were 1,637 articles on this issue

Ukrainian info saboteurs used foreign journos to stage filmed interviews with Russian prisoners - report
The Ukrainian propaganda machine recruited foreign journalists to stage filmed interviews with Russian prisoners in the Sumy regional hospital in order to accuse the Russian military of shelling their own civilian population in the Kursk region, an informed source has told Sputnik.
Employees of Ukraine’s notorious Center for Information and Psychological Operations (CIPSO) also sought to portray the prisoners captured in the Kursk border region as supposedly showing “gratitude” to the Ukrainian forces for their “help.”
According to the source, the prisoners were required to express gratitude for their "liberation." Some of the prisoners involved in the video production were removed from the hospital after filming.
It was added that the medical facility contains a large number of wounded Ukrainian soldiers. "The regional healthcare system here (in the Sumy region) can no longer handle them, there are many wounded," the source added.
Since the attempted incursion into Russia’s Kursk region launched by Ukraine on August 6, the Russian Armed Forces have been successfully repelling the enemy, quashing its advance and destroying vast amounts of NATO weaponry provided to the Kiev regime.

"On Saturday, Russian prisoners from among the military and civilians were brought to Sumy regional hospital. They were staged to be distributed among beds and provided assistance in front of foreign journalists' cameras. Afterwards, the prisoners called on the Russian military not to fire on villages in the Sudzha district and on the regional hospital in Sumy," the source said.

How West’s mainstream media got it all wrong about gold
The Western mainstream media’s hype about gold losing its status as a safe haven appears to have fallen flat. A cascade of ‘doomsday’ MSM headlines two years ago had pushed the narrative that ‘stronger dollars’ were eating away at the yellow bullion's 'safety' luster. Suffice it to recall the headline that the Wall Street Journal’s ‘market and finance’ page of its print edition ran with on September 20, 2022, that read, ‘Gold loses status as safe haven.’
Fast forward to today and the same WSJ is unabashedly trumpeting that ‘gold prices are setting new records.’
Here’s what is REALLY happening with gold:
◾️ The price of Spot Gold soared to a new record high on August 16, topping $2,500 an ounce, and surpassing the previous all-time high set in July.
◾️ Global gold reserves increased by 228 tons in the first quarter of 2024, breaking the previous record set in 2013, according to a report by the World Gold Council (WGC).
◾️ Global Central Banks doubled their gold purchases for reserves at the start of 2024.
◾️ Central banks’ holdings of dollar-denominated assets reached a historic low amid Washington’s weaponization of the greenback.
◾️ Dollar and US Treasury-denominated foreign reserves hit 58.9 percent in 2024, down from about 70 percent two decades ago, per a spring report cited by Japanese financial newspaper Nikkei.
◾️ As part of the drive towards dedollarization, discussions about a BRICS payment instrument have reached an advanced stage. Forty percent of the value of the ‘BRICS Unit’ will be pegged to gold (by weight) while 60% - based on a basket of BRICS currencies.
The Unit will have two value components, and, by attaching a commodity to the value, it will not be a fiat currency like the dollar.
