America is in the midst of kicking the snot out of an enemy that has dominated Middle East headlines for nearly 50 years. Naturally, some in the press are targeting⦠President with ridiculous new allegations buried in the depths of the Epstein files. Why? Because journalists still believe they can drag Trump through the mud, even in the middle of a war, and win elections for the D team.
If this sounds familiar, it sure as heck should. This has been the media strategy since Trump first decided to campaign as a Republican and ruin the lefts plans for global domination. The press has run with every phony claim it could find: the Russian collusion allegations, “mostly peaceful” riots, and claims that the laptop was 100% fake. Remember this Politico headline from Oct. 19, 2020, just in time to influence the presidential election? “Hunter Biden story is Russian disinfo, dozens of former intel officials say.”
Now we know the laptop was real and full of scandalous information about President Biden and his family â which is why the truth was buried under a mountain of lies from Trump haters and the journalists who love them. They were protecting their guy â “the Big Guy,” from laptop fame. So big, in fact, that he ended up pardoning his son, Hunter Biden before he left office. The 51 intel officials all lost their security clearances, but they did the damage they wanted. And the press â along with social media companies â hid the truth.
Even notorious NPR lefty CEO Katherine Maher admitted during congressional testimony that the outlet had screwed up in 2020: “I do want to say that NPR acknowledges we were mistaken in failing to cover the Hunter Biden laptop story more aggressively and sooner.” Of course, Biden still got the White House, NPR conveniently got funded, and the GOP got defeated. NPR won the trifecta.
Thats the context for yet another claim of a Trump scandal. Everywhere the media went this week, the goal was to include two names in the headlines together: Trump and . It doesnt matter whether its an allegation â an old and unproven one, at that. Why bother to hold back? All that matters is trying to hurt Trump.
And the press was on board for every bit of it. There are the bitter folks at NPR, now vastly poorer thanks to Trump, offering up this headline: “Justice Department publishes some missing Epstein files related to Trump.” Or Radar Online with the tabloid-style headline: “Missing Epstein Files Containing Explosive Trump Assault Claim Released by Hours After She Was Subpoenaed by Congress.”
Some of them just cant hide who they are. The ran multiple pieces on the story, including this classic: “Creepy Nicknames Trump Allegedly Used With Epstein Revealed by Accuser.” It included a subhead worthy of a gender studies major: “EWWWW.” The author of that story, Daily Beast reporter Catherine Bouris, was an American studies major, according to her website â and it shows. Consider this quote: “I understand feeling powerless when faced with the looming spectre of the patriarchy.”
Or her pro-trans complaint in another one of her articles: “Babes In TERFland.” Bouris at least doesnt pretend to be neutral. From that piece: “I do not pretend to be an impartial witness, much like Im not impartial when it comes to other forms of bigotry. I do not think journalism (or whatever this it is that Im doing here) needs to be neutral in the face of oppression and injustice in order to be effective.”
Thats an important perspective as journalists grab their pitchforks and torches for the billionth time, convinced this time they will take down Orange Man Bad.
One interesting point is how some in the press are now terrified of Trump â or, more likely, his lawyers. Trump has scored two massive lawsuit victories against both ABC and CBS, since he returned to the Oval Office. The two networks agreed to pay many millions in legal settlements. Now, when outlets cover Trump, theyve grown more
