In the ever-evolving landscape of politics and media, one thing remains constant: the mainstream media’s relentless campaign to smear former President Donald J. Trump. Over the years, the public has been bombarded with a barrage of false narratives, half-truths, and outright fabrications designed to discredit Trump and his supporters. It’s time to set the record straight and expose the blatant hypocrisy of the so-called “fake news” media.
The “Fine People” Hoax
The media’s claim that Trump called neo-Nazis “fine people” during the Charlottesville incident is one of the most pervasive and dishonest distortions in modern political history. In reality, Trump explicitly condemned neo-Nazis and white supremacists, stating, “They should be condemned totally.” Yet the media cherry-picked his comments to construct a false narrative. This deliberate misrepresentation shows how far they’ll go to vilify Trump.
The Russia Collusion Lie
For years, the media and political opponents pushed the baseless Russia collusion narrative, wasting taxpayer dollars and national attention on the Mueller investigation. The Steele Dossier, a cornerstone of the collusion claim, was later debunked as a political smear. Despite this, the media doubled down, ignoring evidence that undermined their story. Where’s the accountability for perpetuating this costly and divisive lie?
COVID-19 and Fauci’s Flip-Flops
The media lauded Dr. Anthony Fauci while ridiculing Trump’s approach to COVID-19. They mocked early discussions about alternative treatments and spread the myth that Trump suggested drinking bleach. Meanwhile, Trump’s push for Operation Warp Speed delivered vaccines in record time, a success the media begrudgingly acknowledged. Today, the lab-leak theory, once dismissed as a conspiracy, has gained legitimacy—proving Trump’s critics wrong yet again.
The January 6th “Insurrection”
The media’s portrayal of January 6th as an “insurrection” is another glaring example of exaggeration and bias. Trump’s actual words encouraged peaceful protest, yet the media painted the event as an organized coup. Meanwhile, they turned a blind eye to the destruction caused by “mostly peaceful protests” during the summer of 2020, revealing their selective outrage.
Hunter Biden’s Laptop: From “Russian Disinformation” to Reality
The Hunter Biden laptop story was labeled “Russian disinformation” by media outlets and intelligence officials during the 2020 election. However, it has since been verified as authentic, exposing corruption and potential influence-peddling within the Biden family. The media’s initial dismissal was nothing more than a politically motivated cover-up.
The “Border Czar” That Never Was
Kamala Harris, dubbed the “Border Czar” by the Biden administration, failed spectacularly to address the ongoing crisis at the southern border. Yet the media never held her accountable. Instead, they focused on smearing Trump’s border policies, which successfully reduced illegal crossings and prioritized national security.
The Steele Dossier and Russian Bounties
From the fabricated Steele Dossier to the unproven claims of Russian bounties on U.S. soldiers, the media peddled unverified stories to damage Trump’s reputation. When these narratives unraveled, there were no retractions or apologies—just silence.
Economic Fearmongering
Trump’s tax cuts were vilified as a boon for the rich, yet they spurred economic growth and benefitted middle-class Americans. The media’s predictions of an “inflation bomb” under Trump never materialized, but their silence on inflation under Biden speaks volumes.
Selective Outrage Over Protests
The media praised violent protests as “mostly peaceful” while demonizing Trump supporters as extremists. This double standard was evident in their treatment of the Covington Catholic students, who were falsely accused of harassment, and the Bubba Wallace “noose” incident, which turned out to be a garage pull.
The “Bleach Lie”: Trump Told People to Drink Bleach?
One of the most enduring falsehoods propagated by the media was the claim that Donald Trump suggested Americans “drink bleach” to fight COVID-19. In reality, Trump was discussing potential disinfectant technologies—an experimental UV light treatment and other sterilization methods. Yet, outlets like CNN, The New York Times, and MSNBC seized on an out-of-context comment to create a cartoonish narrative that Trump was recommending household cleaning products as medicine.
Rather than offering thoughtful analysis or clarification, the media peddled this claim endlessly, cementing it as a meme in anti-Trump circles. This wasn’t journalism; it was propaganda.
Jussie Smollett: A Manufactured Hate Crime
The media’s eagerness to amplify narratives that fit their worldview was on full display in the Jussie Smollett saga. When the actor claimed he was attacked by Trump supporters in a supposed hate crime, nearly every mainstream outlet ran with the story uncritically. Prominent journalists and politicians immediately placed blame on Trump and his supporters for fostering an environment of hatred.
When the story unraveled and Smollett was exposed as a fraud, media outlets quietly backed away—but the damage had been done. The initial false narrative dominated headlines, while the truth was relegated to footnotes.
JD Vance and School Shootings: A Misrepresented Statement
JD Vance was falsely accused of dismissing school shootings as just a “fact of life.” In reality, Vance was lamenting the tragic normalization of violence in American society and pointing to deeper cultural and societal issues that needed addressing.
The media stripped his words of context, fed outrage to their audiences, and used it as an opportunity to paint conservatives as heartless. It was a textbook example of selective editing to push a false narrative.
The Texas Border Drowning Lie
In one of the most egregious smears, the media claimed Texas officials prevented U.S. Border Patrol agents from rescuing drowning migrants. The accusation was explosive, but entirely false. Texas officials had been coordinating rescue efforts, and there was no evidence of obstruction.
Yet again, instead of investigating the truth, mainstream outlets preferred to accuse Republican-led Texas of cruelty. The correction, when it came, was buried deep within articles that few would ever read.
Biden’s Debate “Cold” Cover-Up
When Joe Biden appeared visibly confused and frail during his presidential debate performance, the media swooped in with a preposterous cover story: Biden simply had a “cold.” This transparent excuse ignored the obvious—Biden’s mental and physical decline was on full display.
The corporate media rallied to protect Biden, portraying legitimate concerns about his fitness for office as baseless conspiracy theories. Americans deserved transparency about their president’s health, but the media instead chose to gaslight the public.
The Bubba Wallace Garage Pull Hoax
In one of the most embarrassing media debacles, NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace claimed that a “noose” was found in his garage. The media immediately framed it as a hate crime and linked it to Trump supporters.
When the FBI concluded that the “noose” was simply a garage pull rope, the damage had already been done. The media’s rush to judgment fueled racial tensions and vilified an entire demographic without evidence.
Project 2025: Not Trump’s Platform
The media has recently claimed that Project 2025, a policy initiative by the Heritage Foundation, represents Donald Trump’s official platform for his second term. This is categorically false. Project 2025 is a conservative policy blueprint, not a Trump campaign document.
However, mainstream outlets continue to misrepresent the relationship, hoping to paint Trump’s agenda as extreme. It’s yet another example of dishonest framing aimed at scaring voters.
The “Bloodbath” Lie
Most recently, Trump was accused of threatening a “bloodbath” if he loses the 2024 election. In reality, Trump was discussing the economic consequences of losing to Biden, specifically in relation to the auto industry.
The media intentionally took the term out of context, hoping to stir fear and paint Trump as violent. It was another dishonest attack in a long pattern of deceit.
The Broader Pattern: Manipulation, Not Journalism
These are not isolated incidents—they represent a pattern. Time and again, the corporate media has shown an agenda-driven willingness to twist facts, suppress inconvenient truths, and amplify outright fabrications to serve their preferred narrative.
