The rollercoaster ride of egg prices has everyone scrambling for a better understanding, but leave it to the mainstream media to crack under pressure and fail to report the real story. Earlier this year, Americans witnessed egg prices soar to an outrageous $8.17 per dozen—just in time to fuel a Democratic dream of using high food prices as a weapon against Trump’s approval ratings. But like the egg itself, prices didn’t stay up there for long. They’ve since plummeted to well below $5, wiping the smirk off the faces of those who wished for skyrocketing eggs to signal their political victory.
The new low price of eggs is clearly a thorn in the side of Democrats, who hoped to capitalize on consumers’ struggles to harm the former president. Democrats were ready to serve this high-price horror story and watch Trump get battered in the polls. Unfortunately for them, reality has taken a positive turn. Instead of headlines praising the decline in food prices, outlets like ABC News chose to spin the situation, highlighting a 58.8% year-over-year egg price increase without mentioning that prices had turned around, landing below the January average. It’s like choosing to talk about winter in July—completely irrelevant and misleading.
Even left-wing darling The New York Times jumped into the fray, proclaiming egg prices are still on the rise—while conveniently ignoring that there’s been a significant decline just waiting to be enjoyed by consumers. It’s a classic case of cherry-picking data to feed a narrative that doesn’t hold water. Articles talking about skyrocketing prices without mentioning reality might as well come with a side of liberals’ favorite seasoning: denial. The media’s insistence on framing egg prices as a perpetual nuisance serves only one purpose: to shift blame for food costs onto Trump, ignoring the fact that the real troubles began during the Biden administration.

Egg prices, which peaked at $8.17 in March, have now dropped below $5, contradicting claims from some media outlets that prices are still rising.

Of course, market fundamentals like avian flu outbreaks were the catalyst for the earlier price jumps, resulting in sky-high demand and fewer eggs in production. But as demand increases with holidays like Easter approaching, the narrative persists that prices are being manipulated when, in reality, they are stabilizing. The media’s desire to sensationalize a temporary spike is transparent, as they consistently turn a blind eye to the sharp decline that followed. It’s the classic “if it bleeds, it leads” chant tailored to political goals—feed the public a narrative that serves their agenda, no matter how convoluted.
With egg prices now on the mend, one has to wonder why certain media outlets are so invested in prolonging the agony of higher costs. It all points back to the same playbook used time and again by Democrats and their media allies: create chaos, foster dependency on government solutions, and maintain control of the narrative. The egg price saga is merely one small fry in the larger liberal food fight, but it’s indicative of the lengths to which they’ll go to distort reality to fit their narrative. Ignoring the sharp declines in prices is just their latest misdirection play to keep the public from realizing they’re being egged on—and it’s a taste most consumers are quickly outgrowing.
