On Friday, President Trump attended the rescheduled White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner after an uninvited gunman brought the original April gala to a premature conclusion. Even though the would-be assassin had left a confession explaining his intention to murder the president and as many members of his administration as possible, the assembled “journalists” spent the next few days pretending that they were the intended targets. In breathless interviews with obsequious colleagues, the “heroic journalists” in attendance told dwindling viewers what it was like to have been so near death. Suffice it to say, combat veterans and beat cops found it difficult not to roll their eyes at the pampered prima donnas who playact at being reporters while obsessing about their hair and makeup.

There was also a noticeable suggestion in the April air that President Trump had somehow put the “journalists” in danger, rather than the other way around. In fact, had the failed assassin not left an explanation for his crimes, it seems likely that corporate news talking heads would have spent weeks speculating, without evidence, that the gunman was a MAGA fanatic incited to violence by the president’s condemnation of “fake news.”
This was how corporate media handled the September 10, 2025, assassination of Charlie Kirk. Commentators immediately covered up the fact that a leftwing zealot murdered Kirk. After the assassination, Jimmy Kimmel (who plays a “comedian” on TV but is actually a modern-day broadcast news anchor for American leftists) told viewers, “We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang trying to characterize this kid who killed Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it.”
With that glib statement, Kimmel disseminated multiple layers of propaganda. First, he called the murderer a “kid” in an effort to minimize the barbarity of the leftwing assassin’s crime (which included stealing a husband from his wife, a father from his children, and a natural leader from the American people). Second, he lied by blaming the “MAGA gang” for Charlie’s murder and saying nothing about rising threats from leftwing violence. Third, he diminished the seriousness of the political assassination and pretended that the whole story was nothing more than a fabricated and calculated brouhaha devised “to score political points.”
The corporate news message was straightforward: Charlie Kirk’s assassination wasn’t really a political assassination because MAGA voters were the ones who did the murdering and sought to profit from it politically. When ABC briefly pulled Kimmel off the air in response to public fury over the fake-comedian-real-propagandist’s malicious messaging, Kimmel played the part of a victim who was heroically standing up to defend the First Amendment against the “fascist” and “authoritarian” President Trump. To this day, Kimmel still tells everyone who will listen how oppressed he is in the United States. (He does this while flying all over the world and enjoying the privileges of a public megaphone unavailable to most people.) This is how the corporate news machine minimized the historic nature of Charlie Kirk’s assassination, the dangers of leftwing violence and domestic terrorism, and mainstream media’s culpability in spreading lies, fomenting social division, and inciting murder.
When a would-be assassin crashed the April White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner, the people who abuse the First Amendment by lying for a living jumped into action by making the story all about the plight of “noble journalists.” Had they had any integrity or capacity for self-reflection, the “reporters” in attendance that evening would have admitted to their audiences that a decade of biased reporting and vile, anti-Trump hatred led directly to at least ten assassination attempts on the president. I have not found a single instance of a mainstream “journalist” publicly acknowledging that false or misleading reporting is even partly to blame for the repeated attacks on the president. Most of the time, in fact, “journalists” find a way to blame Trump for saying things that rile people up. While “journalists” see their own First Amendment rights as sacrosanct, they see the president’s free speech as ample justification for his murder. This cognitive dissonance is why so few Americans trust mainstream corporate news “reporters” to say anything truthful.
For more than ten years, the biggest names in “journalism” have told outright lies about Donald J. Trump. They’ve called him a rapist, a racist, and a Russian spy. They’ve insisted that he would destroy the economy, start nuclear wars, and arrest people for their political beliefs. They’ve described him as a fascist, a Nazi, a Klan member, an authoritarian, and a threat to democracy. They’ve told Americans that he is a liar and cannot be trusted. They’ve refused to cover his speeches. Then these same “journalists” feign surprise whenever someone tries to murder Trump, or even more contemptibly, they obscure the would-be assassin’s motives and downplay the seriousness of the threat.

It’s been over two years since President Trump was shot in Butler, Pennsylvania. When the assassination attempt happened, mainstream corporate news first pretended that there was no shooter; then they pretended that Trump had not actually been shot; then they mocked the fact that Trump had been wounded in the ear (as if a bullet coming within an inch of ending the president’s life were a joking matter); then they seeded public doubt as to whether the assassination attempt had been faked (while intentionally ignoring the reality that the gunman had murdered local Pennsylvanian Corey Comperatore, who was shielding his wife and daughters at the rally).
To this day, not nearly enough is known about the alleged Butler assassin or the failures of the U.S. Secret Service to protect the president. Just as with the other attempts on Trump’s life, mainstream corporate news “journalists” have failed to ask any probing questions or investigate the matter thoroughly. When they do mention the assassination attempt, they often lie by framing the shooter as a conservative or MAGA voter. In other words, just as Jimmy Kimmel did with the murderer of Charlie Kirk, corporate “journalists” continue to ignore leftwing violence while insinuating or explicitly stating that MAGA Americans are to blame.
It is fascinating to witness how out of touch and deranged America’s “preeminent journalists” are today. They all suffer from a lack of objectivity and a dearth of curiosity. They are obtuse, ill-informed, intellectually handicapped, shallow, and often pathologically incapable of telling the truth.
President Trump knows this, and he is unafraid to tell the mediocre people who ask him questions just how unimpressive they really are. The president’s brutal honesty hurts the feelings of this odd American caste — as self-important and entitled as it is moronic and unworthy of esteem — and its humiliated members feel compelled to cry like petulant, spoiled toddlers accustomed to getting their own way.
While the president used the WHCA Dinner to remind “journalists” how they all covered for Dementia Joe Biden’s cognitive decline, both CNN and MSNOW were busy complaining about how Trump had torpedoed Americans’ trust in the corporate news media. Neither network considered how their own “journalists” might be to blame for losing the public’s trust after their fake-news institutions pushed decades of lies. They lied about Trump colluding with Russia. They lied about George Floyd and Black Lives Matter. They lied about everything to do with COVID. They lied about Biden receiving eighty-one million votes, more than any candidate in American history. They lied about Biden’s senility. They continue to lie about “global warming,” mass illegal immigration, and ICE violence. They even lie about the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool and the White House State Ballroom.
Corporate “journalists” are liars. They encourage leftwing violence with their lies. They deserve neither our respect nor sympathy. They have earned our mockery.
