Today was one of the worst examples of media fraud and election manipulatoin I can recall. They took a video of Trump calling Liz Cheney someone who loves to send other people to war but wouldn’t hold up if the guns were pointed at her, and turned it into a death threat and threat to execute her.
It was completely made up. There was nothing to it, yet the legacy media ran with it and then the Harris campaign amped it up.
Here’ is my hot take, excerpted from our full podcast today:
Transcript (auto-generated, may contain transcription errors, lightly edited for transcript clarity)
It’s as bad as I’ve ever seen. I mean, we have outright manipulation. We have another incident today where people like Kassie Hunt at CNN are just outright lying about something that Trump said.Trump was being interviewed, I think it was by Tucker Carlson at one of the events. And he made a statement very similar to what Democrats have made during the Bush years, essentially accusing people of being chickenhawks, that they’re really brave when they’re not the ones doing the fighting.And so he says, basically, she’s one of these ultra hawks, but I don’t think she would be that way if she actually had the guns pointed at her. From that, you have the media and the left wing media, but also places like CNN, [claiming] Trump calls for Cheney to be shot.It’s just factually false. That’s not what he said.So this is as bad as I’ve ever seen it. They are hiding things. They’re changing transcripts, they’re lying about things.Really, I’ve come back to this on prior shows, you know that saying ‘you don’t hate the media enough’? You really don’t. I mean, these are bad people. These are people who are manipulating our political system.And as Kemberlee said, it’s not a little bit of bias. Yes, wverybody’s got a little bit of bias. We’ve got it. Conservative media has it. Everybody’s got their own perspective.They’re just making stuff up. That’s what’s so crazy. I really don’t think we have a fair election system given the media.Jeff Bezos, explaining what he’s doing at The Washington Post said the media is not trusted anymore. And he was doing an explanation in terms of The Washington Post and why they’re not going endorse this year. And that if Trump wins, that will be a devastating blow to the legacy media and it will be. And they deserve it. They deserve every bit of it.They’re terrible people who are manipulating our system.
