Trump's Approval Dips to ~42% Despite Major Wins—Blame 92% Hostile Media Smear Campaign
Achievements Overlooked Amid Record Negativity Trump delivered big policy wins closing out the year, yet his approval fell from ~50% early in his term to under 42% (per Decision Desk HQ averages)—thanks to relentless media attacks ignoring successes.
Legacy TV News Delivers 92% Negative Assault In the first 100 days of Trump's second term, ABC, CBS, and NBC hammered him with 92% negative coverage on their flagship evening shows—reaching 19+ million viewers nightly and far worse than his first term.
Big Tech News Apps Bury Conservative Voices Apple News featured zero right-leaning outlets in 620 top stories in January 2026; Apple, Google, MSN, and Yahoo pushed anti-ICE, left-leaning narratives on key events like the Minn. shooting—starving conservatives of fair exposure.
AI Defaults to Anti-Trump Attacks + CNN Ignores Victims Google and Meta AI automatically slam Trump as a liar even on vague queries; CNN skipped the White House Angel Families event honoring victims of illegal immigrant crime, earning Press Sec. Leavitt's "total disgrace" label for agenda-driven blackout.
FLASHBACK: Media Elitists Despised Trump’s Addresses to Congress
2017, CNN Tonight, Don Lemon: “The way President Trump speaks extemporaneously is not the same as what he said tonight. It sounded, to me, and this is just — I mean, I thought it was — he sounded very presidential. This was a speech written by a college student for someone else trying to use big words to impress that the person who is reciting it did not know the meaning of the words. That’s how it sounded.”
2018, MSNBC Host Chris Matthews: “It almost got ugly. Very tough about saying immigrants are basically killers. MS-13. Beginning a discussion about immigration in a country of immigrants with crime. And that was his way of opening up the discussion like I’m protecting us from criminal elements. I thought that got very ugly about that point.”...
2019, CNN's Van Jones: “I saw this as a psychotically incoherent speech with cookies and dog poop. He tries to put together in the same speech these warm kind things about humanitarianism and caring about children. At the same time, he is demonizing people who are immigrants in a way that was appalling.”
2019, MSNBC Host Mika Brzezinski on Morning Joe: “How can anyone see this as a good speech? How can anyone see this as unifying when he is spewing out lies to the American people?...This is an angry, racist platform that has been surrounded by sweet stories and World War II veterans....but the bottom line is his platform is based on hate and lies, bottom line.”
‘CNN Is a Total Disgrace’ for Ignoring WH Event Honoring Angel Families, Press Sec. Leavitt Says
Trump Honors Real Victims CNN Ignores President Trump held a powerful White House ceremony to sign the National Angel Family Day proclamation and personally honor grieving families who lost loved ones to illegal immigrant crime and deadly drugs — including the mothers of Laken Riley and others whose children were murdered, tortured, or burned.
CNN’s Total Blackout Proves Their Bias CNN refused to show even one second of the event, despite emotional testimony from American families directly affected by open-border policies — because these heartbreaking stories completely destroy the left’s “Trump is racist” narrative on immigration.
Leavitt Nails It: CNN Is a Total Disgrace White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt rightly slammed CNN as “a total disgrace” for deliberately ignoring these victims, exposing how the network only covers stories that fit the Left’s agenda — which is exactly why CNN is hemorrhaging viewers and failing as a news organization.
Anti-Trump Bias Appears to be the Default for Google and Meta AI
Anti-Trump Bias Is Hardwired as Default in Major AIs Even when asked a vague, pronoun-only question like “When did he lie to the media?” — with no name mentioned — both Google’s Gemini and Meta’s Llama AI immediately assumed “he” meant Donald Trump and launched into sweeping accusations of tens of thousands of lies, pulling from left-leaning sources like The Washington Post’s Fact-Checker database and Wikipedia.
Tech Giants’ AI Defaults to Attack Trump Without Prompting Google’s AI Overview claimed Trump made over 30,000 “false or misleading claims” during his first term, while Meta AI opened by stating Trump “has been known to make false or misleading statements throughout his career.” This knee-jerk negative framing — citing biased outlets, Wikipedia entries tagged with “Fascism” and “Antisemitism,” and ignoring any balanced context — shows clear programmed slant against the President.
MRC Calls Out Big Tech’s Rigged Anti-Trump Hate Google and Meta AI hate President Donald Trump and their biased products are so rigged that they assume queries are about Trump and default to elitist media narratives. Contact your representatives to demand First Amendment-level transparency, accountability, and equal treatment for conservatives in AI systems.
Viral Video 2 Million Plus Views (The Left Mad, Mad, Mad About Olympics)
Leftists are so mad about the Olympics right now, and it tells you everything you need to know. It started with the Huffington Post, posting on X “If waving the American flag or chanting USA turns you off right now, you're not alone.”
Leftists are mad that Kash Patel shared a beer with the team after the game. They are mad that Donald Trump called the team and they laughed with him. They are mad over a video of the team singing a Toby Keith song.
And then they were mad that conservatives were celebrating Alyssa Liu's gold medal victory in ice skating because she's from San Francisco and conservatives shouldn't be allowed to root for because she's a liberal and she’s ours.
Conservatives don't actually care about Alyssa Liu’s politics. We just appreciate that she wasn't narcissistic and obnoxious about them, and we can root for her winning gold for team USA because we're patriots and politics is not our religion.
We just love our country, and we expect our fellow countrymen to love it too!
Google's and Meta’s powerful AI chatbots appear programmed to attack President Donald Trump, even when asked vague, unrelated questions. Both Google’s Gemini and Meta AI defaulted to answers about Trump when the Media Research Center asked the vague question, “When did he lie to the media?” T he AI titans responded to the undefined query with sweeping anti-Trump accusations, supported by citations from elitist media outlets and Wikipedia.
