With each passing day, another anti-Trump media narrative from the election cycle collapses in on itself.
Americans will recall that in June 2020, anti-police rioting in the aftermath of George Floyd's death in Minneapolis police custody had spread to Washington, D.C. On one evening of "Mostly peaceful" protesting, rioters had briefly forced the White House into lockdown with then-President Donald Trump inside.
President Trump prompted outrage after peaceful protesters outside the White House were dispersed with tear gas so that he could pose for photos at a church while holding a Bible https://t.
A federal judge has dismissed claims that former White House officials conspired to forcibly remove peaceful protesters last year from D.C.'s Lafayette Square so that Trump could pose for a photo op.
The influence of the media is so entrenched in American politics that it took an investigation, an inspector general's report and a 51-page ruling from a federal judge to debunk the narrative.
The media saw Trump not merely as a threat to its agenda as a Republican but as a threat to the media itself given his anti-establishment bent and ability to play on existing distrust of the activists in journalist costumes.
In undermining the Trump administration, the media should have damaged its own credibility and, with that, the credibility of the cultural institutions it has rigged in favor of leftists.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
