I loved the media freakout when President Donald Trump called the mainstream media "fake news." It was an attack on a free press. CNN's Jim Acosta feared for his life at Trump rallies as the crowd chanted "CNN sucks!"
As I wrote earlier, journalists think they're going to be in prison cells in six months if Trump wins reelection. They really overestimate their importance. Trump will win, and the mainstream media will spend four years attacking him. Trust in the mainstream media is even lower than it was in 2016 — what stories are they going to make up?
As we reported Monday, Ben Shapiro shared a text from a reporter from the New York Times who was going to do a hit piece on all conservative media personalities, exposing their conspiracy theories. Using research from far-left Media Matters for America, the Times was going to pressure YouTube into demonetizing conservatives' videos. As we reported earlier today, Tucker Carlson got the same text from the Times reporter, asking if he wanted to comment on all of the lies uncovered by Media Matters.
Benny Johson got the text too:
I was just informed the New York Times is writing a hit piece on me.

What did I do?
- I said Democrats created an open border without “sufficient evidence”
- That lawfare against Trump is 2024 election interference
- That Kamala’s DNC nomination without a primary “was rigged” pic.twitter.com/2NcYQDZ1tY
In short:
The New York Times is launching a hit piece against 30 prominent Conservatives including Tucker, Benny, Tim Pool, Ben Shapiro and others in an attempt to deplatform them from YouTube ahead of the election based on so called research by the fraudulent organization Media Matters https://t.co/NX7BX2lPRJ

As much as the Left calls Donald Trump and MAGA a threat to democracy, Elon Musk gave it right back to them and called the New York Times a threat to democracy.

I agree. They're working with Media Matters to deplatform conservatives.
The New York Times is a danger to our democracy

This is a million times more election interference than Russia or China have ever dreamed about doing

And Media Matters is a evil organization hellbent on punishing those who threaten regime propaganda with the first amendment.

Buy them and close it

That would be great if Musk purchased the Times and then cleaned house like he did at Twitter.
Buy it and then shut it down. Problem solved.

Have they learned nothing from years of lying about Trump? All this is going to do is drive more people to defend and support the people they are attacking. The Streisand Effect is still a thing.

It's only going to get worse until January. They are trying to set a narrative to not certify the election.

Take Trump's stint at a Pennsylvania McDonald's. The Times went to a McDonald's in Manhattan and had workers critique Trump's french fry technique. They can't help themselves.
