4 times the left-wing media has COMPLETELY destroyed its credibility

The mainstream media no longer pursues truth. It is a puppet of the political establishment and will demonize anyone who dares question their establishment-approved narratives. Labeling everyday Americans as “conspiracy theorists” and purveyors of “disinformation,” the media has weaponized its platforms to shield political elites rather than holding them accountable. From silencing critical stories like Hunter Biden’s laptop to ridiculing valid concerns about COVID vaccines, the mainstream media has consistently acted as the enforcer of the political machine, not a champion of truth.

As the facts came to light, many of the stories they dismissed and suppressed have been vindicated—exposing not only the media’s bias but also the lengths they’ll go to discredit those who challenge their carefully constructed narratives. Here are four of the most shocking lies the mainstream media purported to protect their leftist political elites that absolutely destroy their credibility:

Lie #1: The Hunter Biden laptop theory is Russian disinformation

When the Hunter Biden laptop story first emerged in October 2020, the mainstream media, along with tech giants like Twitter and Facebook, quickly moved to suppress its circulation, framing it as Russian disinformation. Major left-leaning outlets, such as the New York Times and CNN, dismissed the New York Post’s bombshell report ’s bombshell report exposing the discovery of the infamous laptop belonging that was left at a computer repair shop in Delaware. The owner of the computer shop put the laptop's contents on a hard drive, which he gave to Rudy Giuliani's lawyer, who then gave it to the New York Post.

In addition to containing damning evidence of Hunter's purchases of crack, prostitutes, and other illegal activities, the laptop also contained direct correspondence with foreign actors, most notably with executives from the Ukrainian energy company, Burisma. According to evidence obtained on the laptop, then-vice president Joe Biden pressured then-Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko and Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk into getting rid of Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin who was investigating Burisma by threatening to withhold a $1 billion US loan guarantee. Shokin was conveniently fired shortly after, and a large sum of money was transferred to one of Hunter's many shell accounts, which also lined Joe Biden's pockets.

The New York Times purported a theory that, according to intelligence officials, Russia was using Rudy Giuliani, whose lawyer was originally given the hard drive by the Delaware computer shop owner, is "a conduit for disinformation aimed at undermining Mr. Biden’s presidential run."

According to CNN, the FBI was investigating the claims as a potential "disinformation campaign [...] aimed at tying the former vice president to his son’s dealings with the Ukrainian energy company Burisma."

However, by 2022, the narrative was completely upended when several mainstream outlets, including the New York Times, admitted the laptop and its contents were indeed legitimate, but only after the media had obtained their goal: Joe Biden winning the 2020 election. This reversal raised serious questions about the ethical standards of the media during a heated political season. Their initial dismissal of the story, despite verifiable evidence, demonstrated an overt bias that prioritized political outcomes over journalistic integrity, further damaging the credibility of the left-wing media.

Lie #2: The COVID lab-leak theory is a conspiracy theory

At the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the "lab leak theory," which claimed that the virus originated from the Wuhan Institute of Virology, who has received massive NIH endowments, was swiftly dismissed by many in the mainstream media as a fringe conspiracy theory. Outlets like The Washington Post and The New York Times, along with prominent voices on the Left, ridiculed the idea, associating it with anti-science rhetoric and even racism. The overwhelming consensus in the Left-leaning media was to accept the natural origin theory, with any deviation framed as "dangerous misinformation."

By 2021, however, this consensus began to unravel when investigations led by scientists and government agencies admitted that the lab leak theory was true. Even Dr. Anthony Fauci conceded that it warranted serious investigation in an attempt to gaslight the nation into believing that he never suppressed the lab-leak theory. The Left’s knee-jerk dismissal of the lab-leak theory, without substantial evidence, and its use of the media to enforce that narrative, demonstrated a bias that suppressed genuine scientific inquiry in favor of political optics. The Left-wing media’s coverage once again eroded trust, as they were forced to acknowledge that what was initially labeled as "conspiracy" had legitimate merit all along.

Lie #3: COVID vaccines are safe and effective

At the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, left-wing media and social media platforms worked in tandem to suppress what they labeled as “vaccine disinformation.” Any claims questioning the safety or effectiveness of the vaccines, particularly those suggesting links to myocarditis, menstrual issues, or reduced efficacy over time, were swiftly censored. The Twitter Files, released in 2022, exposed the Biden White House's direct pressure on social media companies to remove or throttle posts that cast doubt on the vaccines. According to these revelations, the administration specifically targeted individuals and doctors who raised concerns about potential side effects, dismissing them as dangerous misinformation.

Mainstream outlets, including the Washington Post and the New York Times, followed this line aggressively. In one instance, a New York Times article downplayed the risk of myocarditis as "very small" and "temporary" and rather "Covid-19 is much more likely to cause heart problems compared with vaccination." The Washington Post similarly featured a doctor who said that "vaccine disinformation are criminals."

However, over time, these claims—once labeled as disinformation—proved to have merit. By 2023, health authorities such as the CDC confirmed that myocarditis, especially among young males, "is a serious and potentially fatal complication of COVID-19." Similarly, multiple studies acknowledged disruptions to menstrual cycles, though further research is ongoing. The acknowledgment of these risks, once aggressively suppressed, now stands in stark contrast to the early media portrayal. The Twitter Files revealed a deliberate effort to silence voices that were raising legitimate concerns, exposing a dangerous precedent where political narratives overruled scientific transparency. The media's blind alignment with government censorship, only to be proven wrong, has further discredited their standing as objective arbiters of truth.

Lie #4: Joe Biden's mental state is "not" declining

During the 2020 presidential campaign and throughout Joe Biden’s presidency, any suggestion that the president was suffering from cognitive decline was quickly dismissed by the mainstream media as baseless “disinformation.” Left-leaning outlets like CNN and the Washington Post painted Biden’s critics as spreading conspiracy theories and using ageist rhetoric. In October 2020, The Washington Post called theories about Joe Biden's mental decline a part of a right-wing "elaborate virtual war room, tasked with ferreting out volatile information in the dark recesses of the Web." In 2024, the Post also published a piece accusing Republicans of using "cheap fakes" to spread misinformation about Joe Biden's senility. In a piece defending Biden's disastrous Vietnam news conference in 2023, the New York Times accused Trump of incessant rambling, and "by that standard, Mr. Biden was more capable." Any public stumbles or verbal gaffes were downplayed or ignored, while the media emphasized Biden’s long record of public service as evidence of his competence.

However, the first 2020 presidential debate with Donald Trump made it increasingly difficult for the media to maintain this narrative. Biden struggled to stay focused, frequently losing his train of thought, and appeared visibly confused at several moments. His performance, marked by stammering and an inability to respond coherently to some of Trump's criticisms, made it clear to viewers that Biden’s cognitive issues couldn’t be hidden any longer. It was only then that the New York Times changed its tune, publishing pieces about Biden's clear cognitive decline, something we all have witnessed and they have defended since 2020.

EXPOSED: Your tax dollars FUND Marxist riots in LA

Protesters wore Che shirts, waved foreign flags, and chanted Marxist slogans — but corporate media still peddles the ‘spontaneous outrage’ narrative.

I sat in front of the television this weekend, watching the glittering spectacle of corporate media do what it does best: tell me not to believe my lying eyes.

According to the polished news anchors, what I was witnessing in Los Angeles was “mostly peaceful protests.” They said it with all the earnest gravitas of someone reading a bedtime story, while behind them the streets looked like a deleted scene from “Mad Max.” Federal agents dodged concrete slabs as if it were an Olympic sport. A man in a Che Guevara crop top tried to set a police car on fire. Dumpster fires lit the night sky like some sort of postapocalyptic luau.

If you suggest that violent criminals should be deported or imprisoned, you’re painted as the extremist.

But sure, it was peaceful. Tear gas clouds and Molotov cocktails are apparently the incense and candles of this new civic religion.

The media expects us to play along — to nod solemnly while cities burn and to call it “activism.”

Let’s call this what it is: delusion.

Another ‘peaceful’ riot

If the Titanic “mostly floated” and the Hindenburg “mostly flew,” then yes, the latest L.A. riots are “mostly peaceful.” But history tends to care about those tiny details at the end — like icebergs and explosions.

The coverage was full of phrases like “spontaneous,” “grassroots,” and “organic,” as if these protests materialized from thin air. But many of the signs and banners looked like they’d been run off at ComradesKinkos.com — crisp print jobs with slogans promoting socialism, communism, and various anti-American regimes. Palestinian flags waved beside banners from Mexico, Venezuela, Cuba, and El Salvador. It was like someone looted a United Nations souvenir shop and turned it into a revolution starter pack.

And guess who funded it? You did.

According to at least one report, much of this so-called spontaneous rage fest was paid for with your tax dollars. Tens of millions of dollars from the Biden administration ensured your paycheck funded Trotsky cosplayers chucking firebombs at local coffee shops.

The same aging radicals from the 1970s — now armed with tenure, pensions, and book deals — are cheering from the sidelines, waxing poetic about how burning a squad car is “liberation.” These are the same folks who once wore tie-dye and flew to help guerrilla fighters and now applaud chaos under the banner of “progress.”

This is not progress. It is not protest. It’s certainly not justice or peace.

It’s an attempt to dismantle the American system — and if you dare say that out loud, you’re labeled a bigot, a fascist, or, worst of all, someone who notices reality.

And what sparked this taxpayer-funded riot? Enforcement against illegal immigrants — many of whom, according to official arrest records, are repeat violent offenders. These are not the “dreamers” or the huddled masses yearning to breathe free. These are criminals with long, violent rap sheets — allowed to remain free by a broken system that prioritizes ideology over public safety.

This is what people are rioting over — not the mistreatment of the innocent, but the arrest of the guilty. And in California, that’s apparently a cause for outrage.

The average American, according to Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, is supposed to worry they’ll be next. But unless you’re in the habit of assaulting people, smuggling, or firing guns into people’s homes, you probably don’t have much to fear.

Still, if you suggest that violent criminals should be deported or imprisoned, you’re painted as the extremist.

The left has lost it

This is what happens when a culture loses its grip on reality. We begin to call arson “art,” lawlessness “liberation,” and criminals “community members.” We burn the good and excuse the evil — all while the media insists it’s just “vibes.”

But it’s not just vibes. It’s violence, paid for by you, endorsed by your elected officials, and whitewashed by newsrooms with more concern for hair and lighting than for truth.

This isn’t activism. This is anarchism. And Democratic politicians are fueling the flame.

Glenn Beck's 'No King but Christ' merch: Will faith STOP the chaos?

On Saturday, June 14, 2025 (President Trump's 79th birthday), the "No Kings" protest—a noisy spectacle orchestrated by progressive heavyweights like Randi Weingarten and her union cronies—will take place in Washington, D.C.

Thousands will chant "no thrones, no crowns, no king," claiming to fend off authoritarianism and corruption.

But let’s cut through the noise. The protesters' grievances—rigged courts, deported citizens, slashed services—are a house of cards. Zero Americans have been deported, Federal services are still bloated, and if anyone is rigging the courts, it's the Left. So why rally now, especially with riots already flaring in L.A.?

Chaos isn’t a side effect here—it’s the plan.

This is not about liberty; it's a power grab dressed up as resistance. The "No Kings" crowd wants you to buy their script: government’s the enemy—unless they’re the ones running it. It's the identical script from 2020: same groups, same tactics, same goal, different name.

But Glenn is flipping the script. He's dropping a new "No Kings but Christ" merch line, just in time for the protest. Merch that proclaims one truth: no earthly ruler owns us; only Christ does. It’s a bold, faith-rooted rejection of this secular circus.

Why should you care? Because this won’t just be a rally—it’ll be a symptom. Distrust in institutions is sky-high, and rightly so, but the "No Kings" answer is a hollow shout into the void. Glenn’s merch begs the question: if you’re ditching kings, who’s really in charge? Get yours and wear the answer proudly.

JPMorgan Chase CEO issues dire warning about America's prosperity

Jamie Dimon has a grim forecast for America — and it’s not a recession. He sees a fragile nation drifting into crisis while its leaders fight over TikTok.

Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase — one of the most powerful financial institutions on earth — issued a warning the other day. But it wasn’t about interest rates, crypto, or monetary policy.

Speaking at the Reagan National Defense Forum in California, Dimon pivoted from economic talking points to something far more urgent: the fragile state of America’s physical preparedness.

We are living in a moment of stunning fragility — culturally, economically, and militarily. It means we can no longer afford to confuse digital distractions with real resilience.

“We shouldn’t be stockpiling Bitcoin,” Dimon said. “We should be stockpiling guns, tanks, planes, drones, and rare earths. We know we need to do it. It’s not a mystery.”

He cited internal Pentagon assessments showing that if war were to break out in the South China Sea, the United States has only enough precision-guided missiles for seven days of sustained conflict.

Seven days — that’s the gap between deterrence and desperation.

This wasn’t a forecast about inflation or a hedge against market volatility. It was a blunt assessment from a man whose words typically move markets.

“America is the global hegemon,” Dimon continued, “and the free world wants us to be strong.” But he warned that Americans have been lulled into “a false sense of security,” made complacent by years of peacetime prosperity, outsourcing, and digital convenience:

We need to build a permanent, long-term, realistic strategy for the future of America — economic growth, fiscal policy, industrial policy, foreign policy. We need to educate our citizens. We need to take control of our economic destiny.

This isn’t a partisan appeal — it’s a sobering wake-up call. Because our economy and military readiness are not separate issues. They are deeply intertwined.

Dimon isn’t alone in raising concerns. Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt has warned that China has already overtaken the U.S. in key defense technologies — hypersonic missiles, quantum computing, and artificial intelligence to mention a few. Retired military leaders continue to highlight our shrinking shipyards and dwindling defense manufacturing base.

Even the dollar, once assumed untouchable, is under pressure as BRICS nations work to undermine its global dominance. Dimon, notably, has said this effort could succeed if the U.S. continues down its current path.

So what does this all mean?

It means we are living in a moment of stunning fragility — culturally, economically, and militarily. It means we can no longer afford to confuse digital distractions with real resilience.

It means the future belongs to nations that understand something we’ve forgotten: Strength isn’t built on slogans or algorithms. It’s built on steel, energy, sovereignty, and trust.

And at the core of that trust is you, the citizen. Not the influencer. Not the bureaucrat. Not the lobbyist. At the core is the ordinary man or woman who understands that freedom, safety, and prosperity require more than passive consumption. They require courage, clarity, and conviction.

We need to stop assuming someone else will fix it. The next crisis — whether military, economic, or cyber — will not politely pause for our political dysfunction to sort itself out. It will demand leadership, unity, and grit.

And that begins with looking reality in the eye. We need to stop talking about things that don’t matter and cut to the chase: The U.S. is in a dangerously fragile position, and it’s time to rebuild and refortify — from the inside out.
