The mainstream media’s fact-checking track record has led to public distrust, as the American people have often learned the truth about so-called conspiracy theories before the press finally had to admit their veracity.
There have been several major instances where the media fact-checks a claim as false, only for evidence to later show that it was true from the beginning. In some cases, the media has had to issue corrections as a result, or at least acknowledge the updated evidence.
The repeated mistakes appear to favor the Democratic narrative, which may be why a Trafalgar poll from December found that 76.3% of Americans believe the mainstream media’s primary focus is on advancing its own political agenda.
Last October, Gallup found that just 36% of Americans trust the media , the second-lowest reading on record, with the worst being 32% in 2016.
With COVID-19, to take one example, the media repeatedly denied the likelihood that the virus came from the Wuhan Institute of Virology and that the National Institutes of Health ( NIH) funded gain-of-function research conducted there. The efficacy of lockdowns, wearing masks , and the COVID vaccines were pushed by the media.

The lab-leak theory was “often dismissed as a xenophobic right-wing conspiracy theory,” noted The Intercept , an outlet that has provided evidence that COVID likely came from the Wuhan lab.
But now the World Health Organization (WHO) is recommending further investigation into the lab-leak theory and other “reasonable hypotheses,” CBS News reported .

We Often Feel Like David Taking on Giants
Today’s Goliath is the Mainstream Media Industrial Complex that brainwashes the masses.
Our mission is very straightforward: To counter the false narratives and nefarious agendas destroying America today. It isn’t easy for obvious reasons; despite incredible growth over the last year we are still a very tiny fish in a huge media pond. But we’re fighting and we will continue to do so, Lord willing, for as long as we possibly can. The battle for America’s present and future is too important for us to back down to the giants that stand in our way.
We need help. I don’t want to say “desperately,” but the need is definitely great. If you have the means, please donate through our GivingFuel page, PayPal, or our brand new GiveSendGo page. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
