There's a massive disconnect between the legacy media and the people, and Donald Trump's 2024 win made that absolutely clear. I've covered the legacy media's incessant attempts to destroy Trump and pointed out how their chief concern is making sure Trump's power is stymied, and that they'll do this at any cost.
The cost is often their own reputation and trust from the people, yet despite being wildly unpopular, they don't stop. They just keep going and hope that at some point, among all the slop they're throwing at the wall, something will stick.
A recent finding by the Media Research Center and presented by Newsbustersshows such a thing happening even now:
Washington Week with The Atlantic, public television’s taxpayer-funded weekly political roundtable featuring a rotating stable of journalists, touts itself as "objective.”
But a review of the last three months of Washington Week (April 4, 2025 – June 27, 2025) proved Trump-phobic liberalism still reigns over the public airwaves. While unemployment is falling, inflation is down, illegal border crossings are plummeting under Trump, and the president dealing successfully with Iran’s nuclear threat, little of that positive news penetrated the tax-funded liberal bubble.
As the findings show, it was all a Republican bash-fest:
■ The panelists spent 83 minutes opining on Republicans, focusing on Trump and his administration, in 93% negative fashion (77 minutes negative, six minutes positive).
■ Show “intros” by moderator Jeffrey Goldberg often set a mocking anti-Trump tone, not the “civil discourse” promised.
■ Of the 14 different media outlets that were represented on Washington Week during the study period, all but one hailed from the left end of the political spectrum – and that single one (The Dispatch) sounded as liberal as the rest.
I don't need to tell you that this is hardly objective journalism or commentary, and what's especially egregious about this is that this is coming from a taxpayer-funded place. We're effectively paying to have elitists in the media spit heavily biased nonsense about the guy we elected to our faces.
It's wrong when the alphabet networks do it, it's especially wrong when public-paid sources do it.
The question is, why does this keep happening? Why do they keep trying to push something on us that we rejected?
In my last VIP piece, I covered how the elite in America, as well as all their luxury beliefs, are pushing their ill-gotten ideological positions on everyone else, and that a lot of this starts with brainwashing from high-profile academic institutions that convince the young and wealthy that their wealth and privilege is shameful. As such, many of them spend an inordinate amount of time trying to see to it that the system that gave them what they enjoy is torn down, while never truly giving up the privileges they're supposed to be ashamed of.
This has been happening for generations now, and the trouble is that many of these people work their way into places of influence, whether it be a political office... or the media.
They use their connections to infiltrate these places and begin pushing their beliefs from larger platforms. This is why the legacy media is filthy with leftists that can't seem to let go of ideas that not only proved detrimental, but can't seem to stop attacking the people who dismantle these proven bad ideas.
In order to push ideas that work against the people's best interest, the media leans into a natural tendency of our species to be a pack animal. It figures that if it can convince you that most of the people in America believe what these elites believe, it pulls the natural instinct to run with the pack toward their way of thinking artificially.
And there you have it.
The legacy media exists to convince 90 percent of the population that a solid chunk of it believes what only ten percent of the elitist population actually does. They don't have to convince everyone, just enough to disrupt Republicans and set them up to fail as often as possible. From there, they can work to weaken the Republicans by accusing them of being ineffectual, uncaring, and corrupt, and people's short memories, resentments, and frustrations will take care of the rest.
That's really all the legacy media exists to do today. Disrupt the process to allow their fellow elitists to take back control and carry out their elitist agenda. If the country actually knew how little we actually agree with them, or how little they actually care about us, they'd be hard-pressed to take power ever again. Sadly, they still control many of the information gateways and big stages.
This battle will continue for the foreseeable future.
