The major media initially believed they had a scandal to button on the Trump administration this year, as we’ve already reported around at PJ Media, but as so often happens, their plan broke.

During a cooked trade over” Signalgate,” White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt replaced CNN’s Kaitlan Collins during the White House press briefing on Wednesday. When asked constantly about the non-story, Leavitt delivered a knockdown response that left Collins wracking.
After reviewing just released talk information, Collins pressed Leavitt to clarify whether President Trump had been misled by his national security advisers. She especially pointed to a text from Pete Hegseth that read,” 14, 15 reach drones on goal,” followed by an all-caps declaration that” THIS IS WHEN THE FIRST BOMBS May Really DROP.”
Another” Signalgate” narrative just burned and burned
Lake lacked it, though. She responded,” I’ve been asked and answered this issue three days by you both, and I’ve given you my response.” The leader feels the same as he did yesterday. Philip”.
Collins made an undue effort to advance. And I may… Sorry, I may following up on what you just said, she said.
Lake soon intervened and called in another writer, but Collins remained uninterested. ” I have a fast,”” I have a fol,”
Leavitt refused to let her end. ” Kaitlan, I’m not taking your follow-up.”
Does President Trump feel misled by those who told him the group chat, including Secretary Hegseth’s statement,” THIS IS WHEN THE FIRST BOMBS May Really DROP,” then that he has personally seen the information?

It was a foretasteful and crucial moment. Because they lost their beloved talking point about chicken costs, Leavitt wasn’t going to allow Collins sabotage the presentation with the same tired issue about a non-scandal that the departed is desperately trying to exploit.
After Jeffrey Goldberg of The Atlantic reported that he was accidentally added to a Signal conversation with top Trump administration officials, the left-wing media went into full roll style on Monday. The actual problem is how it happened, despite no single disputing that Goldberg was accidentally added to the conversation.
According to Goldberg, a left-wing fake news snob with a record of publishing false hit pieces about Trump, leaders admitted to having revealed classified “war plans” in the chat. As numerous management authorities have pointed out, they didn’t. Initial refusal to release the entire conversation.
Jeffrey Goldberg Accidentally Confirmed that his” Signalgate” Narrative Is a Fake
He claimed in a podcast interview on Tuesday that” I have a very obvious standard in my own actions regarding what I consider to be in the public attention, even if it’s officially classified or no.
On Wednesday, Goldberg reversed his decision and made the full conversation public, claiming that it somehow demonstrated how the Trump administration handled the sensitive topic of the discussion. In reality, all he did was expose his own lies.  ,

His alleged journalistic integrity would have prevented him from publishing the conversation if it had contained classified or top-secret information. He established that the entire controversy was a manufactured hoax by releasing it. And the general public could see for themselves how much of a nothingburger the chat ended up being.
