President Joe Biden offered admiration and praise for the American media in a statement Monday recognizing World Press Freedom Day just a few days after major outlets published false information pertaining to the Justice Department’s investigation of former Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani.
“Journalists uncover the truth, check the abuse of power, and demand transparency from those in power. They are indispensable to the functioning of democracy. Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, journalists and media workers have been on the front lines to keep the public informed, at significant risk to their own health,” said Biden. “And, at a time when the truth is increasingly under attack, our need for accurate, fact-based reporting, open public conversation, and accountability has never been greater.
“It is incumbent on all of us to counter these threats to a free and independent media, including physical risk and arbitrary detention,” the statement continued. “The Committee to Protect Journalists found that, in 2020, a record number of journalists were imprisoned globally.
“Online abuse and harassment of journalists, particularly women and journalists of color, continues to increase. Authoritarians are striving to undermine the free press, manipulate the truth, or spread disinformation even as a shrinking news industry is creating more and more ‘news deserts,’ areas without local media, around the world. These attacks are nothing less than a threat to democracies everywhere,” Biden continued.
“Today, on World Press Freedom Day, we celebrate the fierce bravery of journalists everywhere. We recognize the integral role a free press plays in building prosperous, resilient and free societies. And we recommit to protecting and promoting free, independent, and diverse media around the world,” he added.
The statement and recognition of the media’s “accurate, fact-based reporting” come on the heels of retractions by major media outlets on Saturday for botching a story regarding Guiliani, former President Donald Trump’s one-time personal lawyer. Giuliani is under investigation by the Justice Department over allegations he illegally lobbied on behalf of Ukrainian oligarchs without registering as a foreign agent, which the former NYC mayor and federal prosecutor denies.
The outlets claimed that the FBI contacted Giuliani at some point to inform him and One America News that they were targets of Russian disinformation campaigns. But Giuliani immediately disputed that and challenged The New York Times, the Washington Post, and NBC News to produce sources who made the false claim.

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 Substack 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!
