For the same reason most people aren't calling out their workplaces for mistreatment...don't bite the hand that funds you. You can adjust this question 20 ways and it would still be the same answer...

Why aren't Democrats talking about...

who was really responsible for the Great Recession?

why so many transparently racist, misogynistic, authoritarian nutjobs (who also hate regulations) keep getting campaigns funded and getting into office?

the billions Republicans gave away to the wealthy?

the trillions that disappear through the Pentagon?

how the media has failed us repeatedly from their coverage of Bush v Gore through WMDs, the real estate crash, the endless Wall St. ponzi schemes dressed up as financial innovation, and the destruction of our rights and democracy?

The banks "frankly own the place."

Journalists at BBC World Service report on inflation and other economic woes around the world which have been happening since Covid, made worse by Russia's invasion of Ukraine. On the other hand, American news outlets, including NPR, the NYT and WP, as well as the right-wing media, of course, focus only on the United States. If Democrats want to set the story straight about the economy, they should be speaking about inflation in other countries. That way maybe, just maybe, American news outlets will finally explain that inflation and supply chain problems are a worldwide phenomenon, not caused by Joe Biden and the Democrats.
