We the American People are well acquainted with the propaganda media’s vicious treatment of President Donald Trump, as well as everything and everyone Conservative.
This from thefederalist.com.
From the Russia collusion hoax to the “very fine people” Charlottesville lie, the litany of dishonest info ops from Left-wing activists masquerading as journalists is too long to count.
And despite Americans’ waning trust in their ability to report news accurately and fairly, these [communist/globalist crime syndicate sycophants] show no signs of stopping.
So, in no certain order, here are the ten worst hoaxes and misinformation campaigns run by propaganda media hacktivists in 2024.
1. Bloodbath
Taking Trump’s remarks out of context is one of [propaganda] media’s favorite pastimes—and March’s “bloodbath” nontroversy was no exception.
Speaking to rallygoers in Ohio, the former and soon-to-be president warned that the U.S. automobile industry would face an economic “bloodbath” if the Left won the White House in 2024.
Media acolytes quickly jumped on the former president’s comments, which they distorted to make it appear as if Trump was threatening a literal bloodbath if he lost his reelection bid.
Left-wing outlets such as NBC News, CBS News, The New York Times, and others ran headlines using this dishonest framing.
A March 16 Politico headline read:
Trump says country faces ‘bloodbath’ if Biden wins in November.
2. War on SCOTUS
ProPublica kickstarted a media war on the Supreme Court last year with smear attacks on Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito, The New York Times took its hysteria to a whole new level.
In May, the outlet fabricated a controversy about an upside-down American flag flown at the Virginia residence of Alito and his wife, which the outlet claimed was a symbol adopted by “some” “Stop the Steal” protestors on Jan. 6, 2021. Justice Alito told the paper that he “had no involvement whatsoever” in flying the flag, but that it was placed there by his wife to protest a neighbor’s profane yard signs.
Despite claims of ethics violations from so-called “experts,” The Federalist’s Legal Correspondent Margot Cleveland — who researched judicial ethics rules as a law clerk for years—noted that the Gray Lady’s “effort to smear Justice Alito as unethical based on the flag incident cannot withstand scrutiny” and “[t]he calls for Alito to recuse from [Jan. 6-related] cases have no basis in sanity.”
A few days later, the Times ran another hit piece against the justice over an “Appeal to Heaven” flag flown at one of his homes.
While well-known and originating from the Revolutionary War, the Times attempted to gin up controversy over the flag by claiming it represents ‘a push to remake American government in Christian terms.’
3. Hiding Biden’s Cognitive Decline
The propaganda media interfered in our elections, by participating in the concentrated effort to hide Joe Biden’s cognitive decline.
When videos showcasing Biden’s senility went viral on social media over the summer, media hacktivists adopted the White House’s baseless claim the clips were ‘cheap fakes.’
Only after the president’s disastrous, lie-filled debate performance against Trump did the media realize they could no longer hide this massive scandal from the public.
4. Project 2025
It did not take long for the media to make The Heritage Foundation’s “Project 2025” their go-to bogeyman during the 2024 campaign.
Developed to provide a conservative roadmap for the incoming Trump administration, the plan became the subject of hyperbolic articles and Leftist speeches designed to brainwash voters into believing it would destroy the country as we know it if Trump were to get elected.
In actuality, Trump has repeatedly said he was not affiliated with Project 2025, and the proposal recommends policies conservatives have supported for decades.
5. What’s a Border Czar?
After Leftist oligarchs orchestrated a silent coup to replace Biden with his VP on the 2024 ticket, the media jumped into action to cover up the vice president’s myriad failures—including her role as “border czar.”
To hide her incompetence from voters, left-wing journos pretended Biden never tapped her to oversee the invasion at the U.S.-Mexico border.
Left-wing rags like Axios went as far as to claim [she] ‘never actually had’ the ‘border czar’ moniker—despite the outlet repeatedly referring to her as such in previous articles.
6. Trump’s Arlington Cemetery Visit
Anti-truth NPR ran an anonymously sourced hit piece attacking Trump for visiting Arlington National Cemetery at the request of Gold Star families.
The smear campaign was aimed at fomenting a controversy about Trump’s team taking photos and videos of the former president’s visit alongside the loved ones of those killed during Biden’s disastrous 2021 Afghanistan withdrawal.
The media hoax did not sit well with the Gold Star families, who blasted Trump’s opponent, the communist/globalist crime syndicate, and the colluding mass propaganda media.
7. Show Me the Garbage!
The propaganda media hacktivists had their hands full in the closing days of the 2024 election after Biden referred to the tens of millions of Americans who support Trump as “garbage.”
[T]he ‘democracy dies in darkness’ crowd rushed to cover up the scandal.
NPR’s David Folkenflik told his X followers he “listened to [Biden’s comments] several times” and came away with the conclusion Biden had stuttered.
8. Trump’s Liz Cheney Comments
While speaking at an event days before the Nov. 5 election, Trump critiqued Liz Cheney’s obsession with overseas military adventurism. He referred to Cheney as a “radical war hawk” and defended the troops forced to fight in the never-ending conflicts neocons like Cheney would never personally partake in.
Trump said:
Let’s put her with a rifle, standing there with nine barrels shooting at her, okay? Let’s see how she feels about it … when the guns are trained on her face. You know, they’re all war hawks when they’re sitting in Washington in a nice building saying, ‘Gee, let’s send 10,000 troops right into the mouth of the enemy.’
The media rushed to distort Trump’s comments to make it appear as if he was calling for Cheney to be executed via firing squad.
9. What Assassination Attempts?
A longtime Leftist donor allegedly tried to kill the incoming president on his Palm Beach golf course in September. Left-wing propagandists at NBC News and The Washington Post downplayed the attempted murder as nothing more than an “incident.” Outlets like Time magazine whitewashed the suspect’s history of donating to Leftists, characterizing him in a tweet as a “58-year-old with unclear political ideology.”
It is the same playbook these media hacks—who spent years leading an ‘assassination prep’ campaign with horrific smears and lies directed at Trump—deployed when initially “covering” the first assassination attempt against Trump in July.
10. The Atlantic’s Hitler Hysteria
In a last-ditch attempt to salvage Trumps’ opponent, The Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg—who ran the debunked 2020 “suckers” and losers” smear—published an anonymously sourced October hit piece with claims that Trump said he wanted “the kind of generals that Hitler had.”
It also contained accusations that Trump expressed anger about paying for the funeral services of a murdered Army soldier.
The soldier’s sister blasted Goldberg for his anti-Trump fabrications, and numerous former Trump administration officials debunked the bogus claims, but the propaganda media persisted with their slanderous hit job.
