Legacy Media Implode Over Losing White House Passes While The Rest Of America Shrugs

The latest controversy over the White House removing the press credentials of CNN, MS NOW, and Politico further exposes legacy media’s delusions of their own self-importance.

Earlier this week, CNN, MS NOW, and Politico joined forces to sue the Trump administration in federal court, alleging that the administration had violated their First Amendment free press rights and Fifth Amendment right to due process by banning them from the White House. The three media organizations further claimed that the revocation of their credentials was “because it [the White House] objected to our reporting. Left unchallenged, this threatens press freedom and the public’s right to independent journalism free from government interference.”

The left-wing corporate media establishment will forgive us if we are forced to suppress our laughter at their fake outrage that “the government does not decide what the press reports or publishes.” (The Trump administration, after all, is not restricting the media’s freedom to speak, but simply their access to the White House.)

It’s hard to imagine a more delusional, self-righteous institution than legacy media, whose lack of self-awareness rivals the most awkward, unkempt middle schooler fruitlessly attempting to attract the attention of a member of the opposite sex. Whatever the legal claims of the media — which are irrelevant to my argument here — it would be good (though sadly unlikely) if those collectively pearl-clutching over this latest “indignity” would consider Vice President Vance’s memorable exhortation to an ABC journalist: “Listen to yourself.”

Do We Really Have to Remind Them of Their Record?

It’s not like the American people are short of examples of left-wing legacy media’s biased reporting obviously intended to denigrate and destroy President Trump and his allies. CNN for years peddled as legitimate now-discredited narratives about Trump that were subsequently discovered to have their origin in an opposition research firm funded by the Clinton campaign.

The outlet egregiously underreported the Hunter Biden laptop story because of how much it would damage his father’s chances in the presidential election. It tarred legitimate theories about the origins of Covid as ridiculous conspiracies that now seem almost certain to be true.........
