The article criticizes mainstream media for blaming potential auto workers strikes on President Biden and claiming the strikes will hurt the economy. It notes the UAW is asking for modest pay increases over four years as real wages have fallen, while CEO pay has soared. Media outlets are cited that warn of billions in economic damage from even brief strikes, relying on analyses from consulting firms that work for the auto companies. The article disputes these claims, noting the companies made record profits recently.

It argues media prioritizes consumers and shareholders over workers, and fails to acknowledge the strikes are about fair compensation from profitable companies, not about any president.
