The mainstream media doesn’t want to show you the truth. Wonder why?
In a recent interview with Newsmax, Ric Grenell, former ambassador to Germany under the Trump administration, highlighted a significant shift in political allegiance. He noted a growing trend where traditional Democratic supporters are turning away from the party and throwing their support behind former President Donald Trump. Grenell expressed his dismay at what he sees as a failure of the media to adequately report on this phenomenon, attributing it to their fixation on sensationalized attacks rather than substantive political developments.
Reflecting on Trump’s recent visit to Atlanta, Grenell characterized the enthusiastic reception the former president received as “remarkable.” He criticized the Washington, D.C., media for being out of touch with this reality, emphasizing the stark contrast between their narratives and the actual sentiments of the electorate. Drawing from his experience in foreign policy, Grenell observed a similar pattern of media distortion, citing discrepancies between media portrayals of conflicts in Israel and Ukraine and the factual realities on the ground.
Grenell also took aim at specific instances of what he perceived as journalistic complacency. He criticized a Univision reporter for failing to challenge President Joe Biden’s statements regarding the border and executive authority, labeling him as a “bobblehead” for uncritically nodding along. Additionally, Grenell condemned Rep. Ro Khanna of California for what he described as a pattern of targeting women in politics, citing Khanna’s efforts to dissuade Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s running mate, Nicole Shanahan, from running for office.
In Grenell’s view, Khanna’s actions epitomize a broader issue within the Democratic Party, where certain individuals are targeted based on gender or perceived political incongruity. He emphasized the importance of holding leaders and journalists accountable for upholding principles of integrity and truth-telling, particularly in the face of political polarization and media sensationalism.
