Trump Declares War on Fake News: Says Media’s Biased Coverage is ‘ILLEGALLY’ Swaying Judges Rulings and ‘MUST BE STOPPED’

President Donald Trump has fired a blistering warning shot at the mainstream media, declaring CNN, MSNBC (or, as he calls them, MSDNC), and other leftist outlets as “corrupt” and “illegal” for their blatant propaganda designed to manipulate public perception and, even worse, sway judicial rulings.

For years, the mainstream media has colluded with the radical left to paint a distorted reality where Trump is the villain and their corrupt Democrat allies are the heroes. Viewers who rely on cable news across the globe are being fed this manipulated reality, and the consequences are dangerous.

Speaking in a rare address at the Department of Justice, Trump did not hold back, laying out the case against the so-called “news” networks that operate more like the propaganda arm of the Democrat Party than actual journalism.

“I believe that CNN and MSDNC, who literally write 97.6% bad about me, are political arms of the Democrat Party. And in my opinion, they’re really corrupt, and they’re illegal. What they do is—it’s legal,” Trump said, leaving no room for interpretation.

“It makes no difference how big a victory I had. I can have the biggest victory in history. It makes no difference what a failure the other side has—these people are going to go after me…

He went further, declaring that the media’s deliberate distortion of the truth is swaying judicial rulings, making fair trials impossible in America.

“These networks and these newspapers are really no different than a highly paid political operative, and it has to stop. It has to be illegal.

“It’s influencing judges, and it’s really changing the law. And it just cannot be legal. I don’t believe it’s legal. And they do it in total coordination with each other,” Trump said.

NPR Complains Trump Budget Cuts Hurt a Kansas College, Turns Out It’s a “Dropout Factory” with a Prior 9% Graduation Rate

It should come as no surprise that National Public Radio has been propagandizing its aging leftist listeners against the Trump budget cuts, highlighting supposed abuses.

One such recent example is a profile of the Women’s Basketball team at Haskell University, a small college for Native Americans in Kansas. The coverage of the controversy complains about an alleged quarter of its staff who are laid off because they are probationary employees of the federal government.

NPR’s coverage of the University highlights its positives, but omits key details and context that would give its readers a better perspective on why these cuts might be in the best interests of taxpayers and even the students involved.

A lawsuit has been filed to force Trump to fund the Indian college. The federal government funds the college as part of an 1884 Indian treaty.

The case is styled as Pueblo of Isleta et. al v. Secretary of the Department of the Interior, et. al, case number 1:25-cv-00696-AHA  . The student plaintiffs are Ella Bowen, Kaiya Brown, Danielle Ledesma, Victor Organista, and Aiyanna Tanyan. Their attorney is Matthew Lee Campbell of the Native American Rights Fund, out of Boulder, Colorado. Two other attorneys have applied to enter the case Pro Hac Vice: Jacqueline De Leon and Malia Gesuale. The case has been assigned to federal Judge Amir Ali, a 2024 Biden appointee.

The complaint primarily concerns the fact that the various Indian tribes were not consulted prior to the budget cuts.

NPR makes it seem like this is another step in the trail of tears for America’s native population.

“That it would be affected by these executive actions and cuts in budgets, you know, add it to the list of broken promises,” said Bo Schneider, a member of the Fort Peck Assiniboine and Sioux Tribes, to National Public Radio.

The 54 page, 8 count legal complaint, which includes four students as plaintiffs, complains that they aren’t able to make progress towards their degrees.

However, public records and data suggest that few were likely to ever graduate, because the college has such an awful academic record that 9-30% of the students are likely to graduate.

Here’s How the Media Is Covering up Plunging Egg Prices

Earlier this week, we reported that the price of a dozen eggs, which had reached a record high of $8.17 in early March, had fallen by more than two dollars, now sitting well below the $7 average when President Trump took office in January. As I pointed out at the time, this was bad news for Democrats, who had hoped that sky-high egg prices would be the silver bullet to drive down Trump’s approval ratings and fuel a Democratic resurgence. But with egg prices continuing to drop, the left-wing media has now stepped in to claim that egg prices are still on the rise.

According to Trading Economics, the price of a dozen eggs is now below $5/dozen, lower than they were around Christmastime last year. But the mainstream media doesn’t want you to know that.

Reporting on the declining rate of inflation in February, ABC News didn’t report on the latest egg prices. Instead, the network declared, “Egg prices, however, a closely watched symbol of price increases, soared 58.8% in February compared to a year ago, accelerating from the previous month.”

They weren’t alone. 

“Egg Prices Are Still Surging, Hitting Consumers’ Wallets,” the New York Times claimed in a headline on Wednesday, even though egg prices were actually declining.

“Egg prices continued their upward climb in February despite some easing in overall inflation, further straining consumers seeking relief from rising prices in the grocery aisles,” the article noted, completely ignoring the sharp decline in March.

MarketWatch was no better.

The cost of eggs jumped a little more than 10% in February after a 15% increase in January — and prices are likely to remain high for a while.

The surge in egg prices stems from outbreaks of the avian flu that have resulted in millions of chickens being slaughtered. It takes at least several months for egg-laying chickens to repopulate.

Not only that, but Easter is just around the corner. It’s the biggest egg-selling period of the year and is likely to keep upward pressure on egg prices given the increased demand.

The Trump administration has announced its intention to lower the cost of eggs, but the effort is just getting under way, and it’s unclear whether and how it will work.

Yahoo! Finance also ignored the recent data to cover up the sharp decline in egg prices.

Leftists Embrace Bizarre New Trump Talking Point…

There’s a new weird leftist talking point that President Trump is hiding from the media because they’re great at holding him to account… or something.

This despite Trump literally holding press conferences and answering reporters’ questions inside the Oval Office practically every day.

CNN host Kaitlin Collins claimed that Trump is purposefully keeping away the press because the economy is “tanking.”

Literally within minutes of Collins saying this on air, Trump was again taking questions from reporters.

InfoWars Host Swatted 2x in past Day in Texas, Comes after Another Journalist Murdered

Chase Geiser is a host on Alex Jones’ InfoWars and the author of the book “The Rise of American Populism.” Geiser has appeared on various platforms, including “The Alex Jones Show,” “Timcast,” and “Newsmax.”

Geiser said on X today that he has been swatted twice in the past 24 hours.

SWATing is a criminal harassment tactic in which an individual makes a false emergency report—often involving claims of a hostage situation, active shooter, or other violent threat—to provoke a heavily armed police response to a victim’s home or workplace. The goal is to intimidate, harass, or retaliate against the target by causing them to face a dangerous law enforcement encounter.

SWATing can result in serious injuries or even death, as officers responding to the fabricated threat arrive expecting a high-risk situation. The practice has been used against journalists, politicians, activists, and online personalities, especially in politically charged environments.

Law enforcement agencies across the U.S. have begun treating SWATing as a serious federal offense, with perpetrators facing charges such as false reporting, fraud, and making terroristic threats, carrying severe legal penalties.

Online, some have speculated that the responding police were negligent in responding to his address in the same charged way, twice in the same 24 hour period. They note that his address should have been flagged as a potential political target.

The militant political left has regularly used domestic terrorism tactics like these against the right. Rarely does law enforcement take action to prosecute the offenders.

Alex Jones is claiming Gen. Mike Flynn warned him that he’s on a Ukrainian Hit list.

Ukraine is also accused of killing right-wing journalist Gonzalo Lira in January 2024, while Lira was in custody of the country’s law enforcement.

The right-wing internet personality Phillip Buchanan, known online as “Catturd,” was also swatted in 2023.

This comes in the wake of InfoWars reporter Jamie White’s murder on the streets of Austin, Texas outside of his apartment complex Chandelier Apartments at 2336 Douglas St., Austin, in a parking lot. The suspects fled, and the police do not have anyone yet in custody.

Jones has said that he believes White was on a “Ukraine Hit List.”

Fiery But Peaceful: MSNBC Describes Violent Attacks On Tesla Dealerships As ‘Protests’

MSNBC had its own ‘fiery but peaceful’ moment when anchors claimed that violent attacks on Tesla facilities are perfectly legal ‘protests.’

Attackers have put staff in danger and even set fire to Tesla dealerships and charging stations, but the MSNBC hosts were visibly annoyed that President Trump agreed the actions could constitute domestic terrorism.

One of them whined “you have this post claiming that protests at Tesla dealerships are illegal.”

She added that Trump “said today he would label violence against dealerships as domestic terrorism… So just to be clear, you protest a private company, you are labeled by this administration a domestic terrorist.”

Western media trying to explain Ukraine’s failure in Kursk

Western media seems desperate to explain the failure of the Ukrainian army in Kursk. For months, Western propaganda claimed that the Kursk front was an important Ukrainian military achievement, which was supposedly vital to strengthening Kiev’s position at the negotiating table. Now, however, reality has made it clear that, after intense hostilities, the neo-Nazi regime is suffering a devastating defeat in the region, which refutes the media narratives.

In recent days, Ukrainian troops participating in the invasion of the Russian Kursk region have found themselves in a very difficult situation. Russian advances on the ground have left the enemy besieged, with a large number of casualties and surrenders. It seems only a matter of time before Kiev is forced to withdraw completely from the internationally recognized Russian territory, which shows the absolute failure of the neo-Nazi incursion into the region.

For those who have been following the Kursk news since the beginning of the invasion, this does not seem surprising. The Ukrainian military operation was poorly planned, with technical and logistical errors that prevented the incursion from being successful. The Russians have maintained an overwhelming advantage on this front since the beginning of the battle, and it was fully expected that the Ukrainian efforts would collapse at some point.

Brace Yourselves: The Next Media BIG LIE Is About to Drop

Before I tell you about the legacy dinosaur media’s next BIG LIE, I need to show you how they’ll sell it. It starts, as these things always do, with the Left attempting to control the language to alter your perceptions about how the economy performed under Presidentish Joe Biden and will perform under President Donald Trump.

We might be done with Biden but he isn’t done with us, as you’re about to see.

There was a recession in late 2021/early 2022, commonly defined as two consecutive quarters of economic shrinkage. Except the “non-partisan” National Bureau of Economic Research decided to change the commonly understood definition. In 2022, wouldn’t you know, it turned out that “many factors go into that calculation,” and that the Biden recession wasn’t a recession at all when you looked at the “many factors” that nobody had ever looked at before. 

The White House got into the game, too, with the White House Council of Economic Advisors citing a “holistic look at the data,” instead of playing by the established rules.

The press played along and pretended the recession never happened.

Convenient, eh?

I’d also add that if you take away Biden’s monstrous budget deficits, any economic growth that happened on his watch was an illusion. We entered a government-engineered recession during the lockdowns of 2020 and, thanks to epic economic mismanagement under Biden, we never left it. 

Budget deficits are a drag on future growth and should be subtracted from our GDP figures. But the same government that spends more than it takes in — currently by trillions of dollars — pretends that deficits are growth and, again, the press plays along.

So convenient. 

Private sector jobs and wages stagnated under Biden because everything was driven by Big Government and sold to you by Big Media. 

It was a helluva party that Biden threw for his well-connected buddies. Now comes the hangover, and some on the Left already have a word for the recession that hasn’t happened yet: Trumpcession.

New BBC Documentary ‘The Road to 7th October’ Is an Utter Travesty

There has been a prolonged furore over the BBC’s craven decision to ban a documentary on life in Gaza under Israel’s bombs after it incensed Israel and its lobbyists by, uniquely, humanising the enclave’s children.

The English-speaking child narrator, 13-year-old Abdullah, who became the all-too-visible pretext for pulling the film Gaza: How to Survive a Warzone because his father is a technocrat in the enclave’s Hamas government, hit back last week.

He warned that the BBC had betrayed him and Gaza’s other children, and that the state broadcaster would be responsible were anything to happen to him.

His fears are well-founded, given that Israel has a long track record of executing those with the most tenuous of connections to Hamas – as well as the enclave’s children, often with small, armed drones that swarm through its airspace.

The noisy clamour over How to Survive a Warzone has dominated headlines, overshadowing another new BBC documentary on Gaza – this one a three-part, blockbuster series on the history of Israel and Palestine – that has received none of the controversy.

And for good reason.

Israel and the Palestinians: The Road to 7th October, whose final episode airs this Monday, is such a travesty, so discredited by the very historical events it promises to explain, that it earns a glowing, five-star review from the Guardian.

It “speaks to everyone that matters”, the liberal daily gushes. And that’s precisely the problem.

What we get, as a result, is the very worst in BBC establishment TV: talking heads reading from the same implausibly simplistic script, edited and curated to present western officials and their allies in the most sympathetic light possible.

Which is no mean feat, given the subject matter: nearly eight decades of Israel’s ethnic cleansing, dispossession, military occupation and siege of the Palestinian people, supported by the United States.

But this documentary series on the region’s history should be far more controversial than the film about Gaza’s children. Because this one breathes life back into a racist western narrative – one that made the genocide in Gaza possible, and justifies Israel’s return this month to using mass starvation as a weapon of war against the Palestinian people.

Outrage as The View guest suggests Trump voters have under-formed brains

A top Democrat has declared Americans only voted for Trump because the US is going through its ‘angry teenage years’ – and that their brains hadn’t been ‘fully formed’ enough to vote for Kamala Harris.

Michigan Sen. Elissa Slotkin made the remarks on The View Tuesday, during talks surrounding her party’s response to the president’s agenda.

She insulted some 77,284,118 citizens in the process – days after delivering the Democratic response to Trump’s speech to Congress last week.

Slotkin, 48, did so just two months into her tenure in the US Senate, after beating Republican Mike Rogers in a heated race.

Flanked by hosts Whoopi Goldberg, Sara Haines, Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin, and Alyssa Farrah Griffin, the progressive started off by saying people in her state voted for both Trump and her – before speaking on behalf of the entire county.

‘But I don’t think there’s anyone who feels like what’s going on right now is normal,’ she said, on a morning when the economy was still reeling from Trump’s tariffs.

‘Even if you voted for Trump – right?’ she went on, as the panelists nodded in approval.

She went on to offer her patronizing prognosis, eight weeks into Trump’s presidency.
