It’s been termed the “Government Media Complex” by some conservative writers. It refers to the mainstream, corporate media that is taking the hard-left position in its coverage of the presidential race, a mouthpiece for the Biden Administration, and ongoing purveyor of dog whistle rhetoric spewed by the hateful left. Americans wake up! Just read the headlines of what has happened over the past two weeks. CNN, Washington Post, New York Times, MSNBC, NBC, CBS, ABC and various other left-leaning propaganda machines downplayed the assassination attempt on former president Donald Trump and subsequently refused to report the substance of his Republican nomination acceptance speech.
In the moments after the Trump shooting, I went to the aforementioned media sites to get updated information. They actually downplayed the assassination attempt. Collectively, they portrayed the event as something totally other than what it was. Anybody watching the speech could tell that there were rapid fire shots at the former president. The government media complex reported that there was a “security incident” and Trump had to be escorted off the stage. It was literally over an hour before these giants of news got around to reporting the truth. They downplayed the assassination attempt as if some sort of technical glitch had taken place. Nothing to see here.
Their coverage of Trump’s nomination acceptance speech was much the same. The government media complex talked about everything except the substance of the speech. Politico reported about the 92-minute record speech and showed pictures of the convention audience dozing off in boredom. AFP talked about what Melania wore and how Trump has “reshaped” the Republican Party into his own image (isn’t that was presidential nominees do?). The Washington Post did a story on what Trump DID NOT have in his speech. Reuters wrote about how critics of Trump worry that his power will go unchecked. AP continued its coverage of the assassination attempt by calling the would-be assassin a “Rally Shooter.”
This is the kind of coverage we would expect from Soviet-era Russian media like Tass and Pravda. For nearly a decade the government media complex has had Trump in its sites and has been the attack dog of the left. This is not becoming to a nation where heroic men and women have died to protect freedom of speech and religion. Yet this government media complex attack both regularly, disrespecting the very constitution that guarantees their right to do it. Maybe it’s time to recognize them for what they are and encourage people to seek the truth, not what they are being spoon-fed by propagandists. In John 8:32, Christ says, “And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” There is freedom in truth, but neither freedom nor truth is found in news that is filtered through an extreme agenda.
