Is there anything funnier than CNN complaining about “over the top” negative coverage? On Sunday’s Reliable Sources, host Brian Stelter came rushing to Joe Biden’s defense, complaining about hyper-critical coverage of the fiasco in Afghanistan. You could never be critical enough of Trump, and Biden should be granted a wide berth. Stelter began: STELTER: Everyone has an opinion about the media’s coverage of Afghanistan, the withdrawal and the Biden administration. So let’s get into it. ‘Knives out for Biden,’ Tucker Carlson said, claiming the press has turned on the president. Carlson spun it as a conspiracy theory, of course, but the critical tone of the coverage has been obvious to everyone.

I heard complaints from Biden’s aides about this. So did Daniel Marans of Huffpost , who wrote that Biden, quote ‘has stuck to his guns while under attack in the press, laying out a case for the limits of American military power.'” Stelter […]

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.

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.
