The establishment media is eventually being exposed as what it really is, the hard left’s propaganda arm, and it’s a wonderful thing to watch. Two premier media outlets, columns of the” journalistic” creation, have then lost defamation cases and has pony up million as a result. This is incredibly encouraging for those who value the fact and are sick of these inflated, undeserved propaganda outlets swindling the British people.  ,

Donald Trump, who had sued ABC for slander, was sued for defamation by George Stephanopoulos, the far-left propaganda who helped them settle a month back. The network forked over$ 15 million to Trump as part of the lawsuit, which also prevented Trump’s lawsuit from going to trial. which demonstrated how far their case had to go before a trial, which showed that ABC’s top dogs had realized how ineffective their case was actually. They were willing to spend$ 15 million to make it go.  ,
On Friday, it was CNN’s change. After more than eight hours of deliberation, a judge found that CNN” dedicated defamation against U.S. Navy former Zachary Young and is responsible for punishing damages.” Young is awarded$ 4 million in lost earnings,$ 1 million in personal injuries, and$ 500,000 in pain and suffering, according to the jury, and that punitive damages are appropriate for CNN.
That’s$ 20 million and counting in assessments against establishment figures who were caught smear and spin the information while blatantly and constantly insisting that they were telling nothing but the truth. People who trusts CNN perhaps also believes that Old Joe Biden was a capable, skilled leader, and that Hamas is a heroic army of liberty fighters engaged in “resistance” against an “occupier,” despite CNN’s joke for years that it is the “most trusted name in news.”

The rulings against ABC and CNN are nice victory for those who have been insisting for years that the media was biased, just for far-left “fact checkers” and those same media outlets to dismiss any worry about their plan, view, or accuracy as right-wing crime theorizing.
After all, the news media has been a leftist mouthpiece for a long time, but it has only grown to become too clear since Donald Trump became a candidate for president and then became president of the United States. As far back as 1962, when Richard Nixon lost his race for governor of California, he excoriated the press for its leftist bias and famously declared:” You won’t have Nixon to kick around anymore, because, gentlemen, this is my last press conference” . ,
Nine years later, journalist Edith Efron wrote a book called” The News Twisters” to demonstrate that there had been significant media bias in the Nixon and Hubert Humphrey ( and George Wallace ) presidential election of 1968. The Ford Pinto reportedly exploded if hit from behind in 1978, according to ABC News. Only later did it become known that the Pintos were exploding because an incendiary device had been planted on them, sparking a nationwide outcry.  ,
In 1992, NBC News presented a rigged crash test, leading Don Hewitt, the executive producer of CBS’s “60 Minutes“, to claim that everything was on the up and up over at his shop. Referring to NBC’s fake crash report, he said,” If that had happened at 60 Minutes, I’d be looking for a job tomorrow. For the life of me, I can’t understand why anyone would do that. Nobody on 60 Minutes would do it, in fact.

Another media blip was in 2004, when Dan Rather, the anchor of CBS Evening News and a well-known” journalist” with a lengthy resume, ran with a story about 1973 memos that appeared to have claimed that President George W. Bush had resisted giving him a better evaluation than he deserved. Rather insisted they were authentic, but it quickly came to light that the memos had been typed on a modern-day computer, not an early-1970s-era typewriter.
CBS and Rather finally admitted that the documents in question ( which, of course, could have given the election to Democrat candidate John Kerry ) could not be authenticated. CBS declined to renew Rather’s contract because it was clear that he was so eager to bring Bush down that he didn’t take basic and necessary precautions to make sure the memos were authentic. For Rather, the anti-Bush memos had been too good to check.  ,
In contrast to what is happening now, all of that was child’s play. Do you want Donald Trump to be vile? Just go to the New York Times, or the Washington Post, or CNN, or MSNBC, or any of the rest. The major establishment media outlets profit from the assumption that the indifferent and ignorant segment of the public is still engaged in it while they don’t even pretend to strive for objective reporting any more.  ,

The defamation rulings against ABC and CNN, however, are a sign of hope. In response to the challenge from X, which Elon Musk claims is the media now, the establishment media’s propaganda empire has already begun to crumble. These cases should hasten that empire’s fall.
