Trump Launches Large-Scale Offensive Against Media Bias, Igniting Hyperbolic Freakout

The administration’s initiative comes as Americans’ trust in the establishment media to report current events “fully, accurately and fairly” plummeted to a record low in 2024, Gallup polling found in October.

“I absolutely HATE the Fake News Media,” President Donald Trump said on the 2024 campaign trail. “So bad for our Country!”

To remedy the bias, Trump and his allies launched at least seven offensives:
 

1. FCC probing PBS, NPR to uncover if they “violated government rules by recognizing financial sponsors on the air.
2. FCC investigating Comcast/NBCUniversal’s diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) practices.
3. FCC probing CBS as to whether or not it violated rules when it edited former Vice President Kamala Harris’s 60 Minutes interview.
4. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) demanding NPR and PBS testify at a Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) subcommittee hearing on “systemically biased content.”
5. Defense Department cutting NPR, NBC News, Politico, and CNN from their workspaces at the Pentagon.
6. Executive branch canceling subscriptions to establishment media outlets, such as Politico.
7. White House banning the Associated Press from events at the Oval Office and Air Force One over the outlet’s refusal to drop speech codes.
