Anonymous TV Exec Discusses Trump and The Media

To kick things off, take a look at this headline moment from CNN’s own Brian Stelter, the media’s top hall monitor. Stelter’s recent chat with a network bigwig revealed that CNN leadership actually acknowledges the media has failed at its job—specifically because half the country still supports Trump.

That’s right: in their eyes, if Trump has any traction, the media hasn’t done its duty. Imagine that. They didn’t even try to hide it. According to them, the media’s “mission” is to bring Trump down, and they’re doubling down on it. Objectivity? Gone. Truth? A relic. Facts? Only if they fit the anti-Trump narrative.

It’s no wonder we’re seeing the slanted, borderline hysterical coverage this election season. Case in point: Trump’s stop at a McDonald’s, which the media called a cheap “stunt” that somehow both “meant nothing” and “was worth discussing for days.” Let’s unpack this. These same media outlets, who claimed “no one cared,” couldn’t get enough of talking about it, blasting headlines for days. Trump grabbing a burger? Cue endless think pieces on why it was either “meaningless” or “a national crisis.” They can’t stop themselves. They say it’s nothing, yet they obsess over it.

And then, along comes Biden. In a breathtakingly candid moment, the President drops his own gem, calling half the country “garbage.” The press, predictably, twists itself in knots to excuse the remark. Was it an apostrophe? A misunderstood idiom? Who knows! The White House fumbled through three transcript revisions, and each time, the media scrambled to keep up the cleanup act. They tried to spin Biden’s gaffe as a mere slip, a harmless phrase, but Trump’s McDonald’s visit? That was worth wall-to-wall scrutiny, apparently.

The hypocrisy here is almost too glaring to believe. To the press, Biden’s inflammatory remark had no bearing on Kamala Harris or the broader Democratic agenda, yet a comedian’s offhand joke is somehow a statement of official Republican doctrine? So Biden’s dumpster fire of a comment is shrugged off while Trump gets skewered over a cheeseburger? It’s absurd.

And if the media weren’t rattled enough, Trump’s latest move—a ride in a garbage truck—sent them into a full tailspin. CNN had to cut away from their “all is well” coverage of Kamala Harris to cover Trump in his trash truck moment, and boy, did it infuriate them. They can’t help themselves; the more they hate his stunts, the more they have to cover them. CBS tried to wave it off as “just another gimmick,” but there they were, broadcasting every minute.

The best example of just how unhinged the media is over Trump’s every move comes from CNN’s reporter Kristen Holmes. Holmes’s barely-contained irritation over Trump’s successful rally in Wisconsin said it all—she was openly bothered by how his media savvy continually outmaneuvers the press. Her frustration practically glowed on screen as she realized that despite their efforts, the media still couldn’t control the narrative.

This latest moment of media honesty, courtesy of Stelter’s exec contact, lays it out plainly: if Trump wins, the media industry itself might be in for a reckoning. And honestly, at this point, that sounds like a necessity. The press has shown that their problems go deeper than bias; it’s a rot that’s made objectivity and integrity nearly extinct.

A major shake-up is overdue because the industry, as it stands, has become a machine for narrative control with little interest in truth. They’re not even pretending otherwise. If there’s one thing that could restore any faith in the press, it would be a hard reset—and maybe, just maybe, Trump’s victory would finally trigger that much-needed overhaul.

This is a hilarious must watch!
