Column: Will Trump 'Derangement' Keep Damaging Trust in the Media?

Now that Trump is in his second term, a few rare voices have floated the novel concept that to combat cratering trust in media, there should be attempts at balance. NPR preferred the ravings of ex-CNN reporter Oliver Darcy, who is smearing the current press corps as a pro-Trump horror movie.

'Without Evidence'! Media Knock Trump Mention of DEI Hiring at Presser

With President Trump back in office, the hostile media have gone back to showing interest in presidential assertions made “without evidence”. This Trump coverage classic made its return as the media melted down over Trump calling out hiring practices at the FAA that placed a heavy emphasis on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). In so doing, the media actually ignored a ton of evidence.

NBC Reporters Suggest Trump, Hegseth Ruined Plane Crash Investigation

Just minutes after news broke of the tragic mid-air collision between a commercial airliner and an Army Blackhawk, members of the liberal media rushed to politicize the accident by blaming President Trump and his cuts to federal diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs (including at the FAA).

HUH? WashPost Tries Blaming Trump for GDP Growth Slowing in Q4 of 2024

Wow, that was quick. The Washington Post has already taken to blaming President Donald Trump for America’s economic woes, except the new data they’re using as the basis of their argument reflected the disastrous Biden economy, not Trump’s.

Before President Trump’s Thursday morning press briefing allowed the liberal media to tangle with him directly and make Wednesday’s deadly crash between American Airlines flight and a blackhawk helicopter all about Trump, the liberal media were left to their own imaginations Wednesday night to spin up evil and ghoulish conspiracy theories on their own.

NPR Labeled Stuck Astronauts 'Stranded' Until Trump Came Along

One of the media’s worst habits is its urge to contradict everything President Donald Trump says simply because he says them. NPR had a rather comical example of this phenomena on Wednesday as it ran a headline saying Trump was wrong to say two astronauts on the International Space Station are stranded despite three previous NPR articles saying they were stranded.

Trump Ends Abuse of Taxpayer Dollars Financing Anti-Orban Soros Media

The Trump administration has halted Biden’s funneling of US tax dollars to foreign media outlets dedicated to undermining Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban.  If that's an outrage, imagine if Trump used our tax dollars to undermine socialist leaders in Britain or Canada.
