It begins by noting a\u2062 general decline in public trust towards media outlets, notably those perceived to align with the Democratic Party. The author lists multiple controversial media reports, including:<\/p>\n<p>1. **&#8221;Bloodbath&#8221;** \u200b- Claims that \u2062Trump threatened a literal bloodbath regarding the automotive industry, which were exaggerated by various media outlets.<\/p>\n<p>2. **War on the Supreme Court** -\u2063 Criticism of media narratives surrounding Supreme Court Justices, particularly involving fabricated controversies about\u2064 their\u200d personal\u200d symbols and ethics.<\/p>\n<p>3. **Hiding Biden\u2019s cognitive \u200bDecline** &#8211; \u200cThe media&#8217;s efforts\u2062 to downplay Joe Biden\u2019s mental fitness, particularly \u2064following viral clips depicting \u2063his cognitive issues.<\/p>\n<p>4. **Project 2025** &#8211; Misrepresentation of a conservative \u2063plan perceived as harmful, despite it being a standard conservative policy\u2062 agenda.<\/p>\n<p>5. **Kamala Harris\u2019 Role** &#8211; Media revising Harris&#8217;s designation as \u201cborder czar\u201d to mitigate negative perceptions about her handling of border \u200cissues.<\/p>\n<p>6. **Trump\u2019s Arlington\u200c Cemetery Visit** &#8211; Media attempting to politicize Trump&#8217;s visit \u200dto\u200d the cemetery, which was made at the request of Gold Star families.<\/p>\n<p>7.**Biden&#8217;s \u201cGarbage\u201d Comment** -\u200c How media scrambled to mitigate fallout from Biden&#8217;s derogatory comment about\u200c Trump supporters.<\/p>\n<p>8. **Trump&#8217;s Remarks on Liz Cheney** &#8211; Distortion of Trump&#8217;s comments that were framed as a call\u200d for violence against Cheney\u2064 rather than a\u2064 critique of her \u2063policies.<\/p>\n<p>9. **Assassination Attempts on Trump** &#8211; Underreporting \u200dof assassination attempts against Trump, as media downplayed the\u200d significance of these incidents.<\/p>\n<p>The author\u2063 suggests that\u200b these examples collectively illustrate a broader trend of media disinformation\u200c aimed at undermining Trump and \u2064shaping \u200dpublic perception ahead of\u2063 the 2024 \u2064election.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Americans who have lived through Donald Trump&rsquo;s political career are no strangers to legacy media disinformation.

Whether it was their coverage of the 2024 presidential campaign or participation in Democrats&rsquo; war on the Supreme Court, America&rsquo;s propaganda press maintained its ethically bankrupt reputation.<\/p>\n<p>So, in no particular order, here are the biggest hoaxes and misinformation campaigns run by legacy media hacktivists this year.<\/p>\n<h2>1. Bloodbath<\/h2>\n<p>Taking Trump&rsquo;s remarks out of context is one of legacy media&rsquo;s favorite pastimes &mdash; and March&rsquo;s &ldquo;bloodbath&rdquo; nontroversy was no exception.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking to rallygoers in Ohio, the former and soon-to-be president <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/03\/18\/corporate-media-advance-their-2024-election-interference-with-trump-bloodbath-lies\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">warned<\/a> that the U.S. automobile industry would face an economic &ldquo;bloodbath&rdquo; if Democrats won the White House in 2024. Media acolytes quickly jumped on the former president&rsquo;s comments, which they distorted to make it appear as if Trump was threatening a literal bloodbath if he lost his reelection bid.<\/p>\n<p>Left-wing outlets such as NBC News, CBS News, The New York Times, and others <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/03\/18\/corporate-media-advance-their-2024-election-interference-with-trump-bloodbath-lies\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ran<\/a> headlines using this dishonest framing. <\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Trump says country faces &lsquo;bloodbath&rsquo; if Biden wins in November,&rdquo; a March 16 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2024\/03\/16\/trump-bloodbath-biden-november-00147453\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Politico<\/a> headline reads.<\/p>\n<h2>2. War on SCOTUS<\/h2>\n<p>While Democrat mouthpiece <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/tag\/propublica\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ProPublica<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2023\/08\/31\/new-financial-disclosures-contradict-propublica-smear-operation-against-clarence-thomas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">kickstarted<\/a> a media <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2023\/06\/30\/propublicas-smearing-of-conservative-justices-is-part-of-the-lefts-ploy-to-destroy-the-court\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">war<\/a> on the Supreme Court last year with <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2023\/06\/21\/justice-alito-launches-preemptive-strike-on-leftist-hit-piece\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">smear attacks<\/a> on Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito, The New York Times took its hysteria to a whole new level.<\/p>\n<p>In May, the outlet <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/05\/16\/us\/justice-alito-upside-down-flag.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">fabricated<\/a> a controversy about an upside-down American flag flown at the Virginia residence of Alito and his wife, which the outlet claimed was a symbol adopted by &ldquo;some&rdquo; &ldquo;Stop the Steal&rdquo; protestors on Jan. 6, 2021. Justice Alito told the paper that he &ldquo;had no involvement whatsoever&rdquo; in flying the flag, but that it was placed there by his wife to protest a neighbor&rsquo;s profane yard signs.<\/p>\n<p>Despite claims of ethics violations from so-called &ldquo;experts,&rdquo; The Federalist&rsquo;s Legal Correspondent Margot Cleveland &mdash; who <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/rolling-stones-hit-piece-on-amy-coney-barrett-is-even-dumber-than-you-think\/\" title=\"Rolling Stone&#039;s Critical Take on Amy Coney Barrett: More Nonsensical Than Expected\">researched judicial ethics rules<\/a> as a law clerk for years &mdash; <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/05\/20\/i-researched-judicial-ethics-rules-for-years-heres-why-the-alito-recusal-calls-are-ridiculous\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">noted<\/a> that the Gray Lady&rsquo;s &ldquo;effort to smear Justice Alito as unethical based on the flag incident cannot withstand scrutiny&rdquo; and &ldquo;[t]he calls for Alito to recuse from [Jan. 6-related] cases have no basis in sanity.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>America&rsquo;s &ldquo;newspaper of record&rdquo; wasn&rsquo;t done attempting to tarnish Alito, however. A few days later, the Times ran <em>another<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/05\/24\/nyt-attacks-alito-a-second-time-over-well-known-american-revolution-flag-flown-at-private-residence\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">hit piece<\/a> against the justice over an &ldquo;Appeal to Heaven&rdquo; flag flown at one of his homes. While well-known and originating from the Revolutionary War, the Times attempted to gin up controversy over the flag by claiming it represents &ldquo;a push to remake American government in Christian terms.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<h2>3. Hiding Biden&rsquo;s Cognitive Decline<\/h2>\n<p>If you&rsquo;re looking for an example of how the media <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/02\/16\/running-cover-for-bidens-senility-is-the-umpteenth-example-of-how-media-interfere-in-elections\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">interfere<\/a> in our elections, look no further than their concentrated effort to hide Joe Biden&rsquo;s cognitive decline. <\/p>\n<p>When videos showcasing Biden&rsquo;s senility went viral on social media over the summer, media hacktivists <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/07\/01\/democrat-media-arent-upset-biden-is-senile-theyre-mad-they-cant-hide-it-anymore\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">adopted<\/a> the White House&rsquo;s baseless claim the clips were &ldquo;cheap fakes.&rdquo; Only after the president&rsquo;s disastrous, <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/06\/28\/here-are-the-20-biggest-whoppers-biden-told-during-his-debate-with-trump\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">lie-filled<\/a> debate performance against Trump did the media <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/06\/28\/media-finally-admit-biden-poses-grave-danger-to-country-after-years-of-defensive-coverage\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">realize<\/a> they could no longer hide this massive scandal from the public.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, their subsequent acknowledgment of Biden&rsquo;s faltering health clearly had nothing to do with the republic&rsquo;s well-being and everything to do with their concerns it could harm Democrats&rsquo; prospects of holding the White House in November.<\/p>\n<h2>4. Project 2025<\/h2>\n<p>It didn&rsquo;t take long for the media to make The Heritage Foundation&rsquo;s &ldquo;Project 2025&rdquo; their go-to bogeyman during the 2024 campaign. <\/p>\n<p>Developed to provide a conservative roadmap for the incoming Trump administration, the plan became the subject of <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/07\/08\/i-read-the-project-2025-playbook-and-i-couldnt-find-a-single-white-christian-nationalist-policy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">hyperbolic articles<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/09\/10\/kamala-harris-cant-stop-talking-about-gop-policies-because-hers-are-indefensible\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Democrat speeches<\/a> designed to brainwash voters into believing it would destroy the country as we know it if Trump were to get elected. In actuality, Trump has repeatedly said he was <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/09\/11\/25-lies-kamala-harris-told-in-her-debate-against-trump\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">not affiliated<\/a> with Project 2025, and the proposal <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/07\/08\/i-read-the-project-2025-playbook-and-i-couldnt-find-a-single-white-christian-nationalist-policy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">recommends<\/a> policies conservatives have supported for decades.<\/p>\n<h2>5. What&rsquo;s a Border Czar?<\/h2>\n<p>After Democrat oligarchs orchestrated a silent coup to replace Biden with Kamala Harris on the 2024 ticket, the media jumped into action to cover up the vice president&rsquo;s myriad failures &mdash; including her role as &ldquo;border czar.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>To hide Harris&rsquo; incompetence from voters, left-wing journos <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/07\/24\/after-years-of-regaling-vp-as-border-czar-media-claim-harris-was-never-in-charge-of-the-invasion\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">pretended<\/a> Biden never tapped her to oversee the invasion at the U.S.-Mexico border. Left-wing rags like Axios went as far as to claim Harris &ldquo;never actually had&rdquo; the &ldquo;border czar&rdquo; moniker &mdash; despite the outlet repeatedly referring to her as such in previous articles.<\/p>\n<h2>6. Trump&rsquo;s Arlington Cemetery Visit<\/h2>\n<p>Obviously seeking to tarnish Trump ahead of the November election, anti-truth NPR ran an anonymously sourced hit piece <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/08\/29\/joe-biden-got-13-americans-killed-in-afghanistan-but-garbage-media-are-mad-at-trump-for-mourning-with-their-families\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">attacking<\/a> the former president for &mdash; wait for it &mdash; visiting Arlington National Cemetery at the <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/MatthewFoldi\/status\/1828822658131374343\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">request<\/a> of <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/trump-harris-afghanistan-arlington-gold-star-families-0ef2d4d0d0a1bbecdf77adbc4970a8fa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Gold Star families<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The smear campaign was aimed at fomenting a controversy about Trump&rsquo;s team taking photos and videos of the former president&rsquo;s visit alongside the loved ones of those killed during Biden&rsquo;s disastrous 2021 Afghanistan withdrawal. The media hoax didn&rsquo;t sit well with the Gold Star families, who <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/09\/03\/you-got-our-kids-murdered-gold-star-families-lambast-harris-for-politicizing-trumps-appearance-at-arlington-ceremony\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">blasted<\/a> Kamala Harris, Democrats, and, by extension, their corporate press allies for attempting to politicize the event.<\/p>\n<h2>7. Show Me the Garbage!<\/h2>\n<p>Legacy media propagandists had their hands full in the closing days of the 2024 election after Biden <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/10\/29\/bidens-closing-argument-for-kamala-harris-all-of-trumps-voters-are-human-garbage\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">referred<\/a> to the tens of millions of Americans who support Trump as &ldquo;garbage.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Amid fears that the president&rsquo;s remarks could hurt Harris&rsquo; electoral prospects, the &ldquo;democracy dies in darkness&rdquo; crowd <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/10\/30\/media-propagandists-orchestrate-disinformation-op-to-whitewash-bidens-garbage-smear\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">rushed<\/a> to cover up the scandal. While Politico&rsquo;s Johnathan Lemire employed the media&rsquo;s classic &ldquo;Republicans pounce!&rdquo; framing, NPR&rsquo;s David Folkenflik decided to play doctor and mind reader for a day, telling his X followers he &ldquo;listened to [Biden&rsquo;s comments] several times&rdquo; and came away with the conclusion that the president&rsquo;s&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2020\/03\/25\/bidens-stutter-isnt-a-problem-but-banning-people-from-asking-about-it-is\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">supposed<\/a>&nbsp;&ldquo;stutter&rdquo; problem is to blame.<\/p>\n<h2>8. Trump&rsquo;s Liz Cheney Comments<\/h2>\n<p>One of the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">biggest media-driven hoaxes concocted<\/a> this year was the manipulation of Trump&rsquo;s remarks about Liz Cheney.<\/p>\n<p>While speaking at an event days before the Nov. 5 election, Trump <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/11\/02\/america-isnt-free-as-long-as-its-press-is-subservient-to-the-democrat-party\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">critiqued<\/a> Cheney&rsquo;s obsession with overseas military adventurism. The former president referred to Cheney as a &ldquo;radical war hawk&rdquo; and defended the troops forced to fight in the never-ending conflicts neocons like Cheney would never personally partake in. <\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Let&rsquo;s put her with a rifle, standing there with nine barrels shooting at her, okay? Let&rsquo;s see how she feels about it &hellip; when the guns are trained on her face. You know, they&rsquo;re all war hawks when they&rsquo;re sitting in Washington in a nice building saying, &lsquo;Gee, let&rsquo;s send 10,000 troops right into the mouth of the enemy,&rsquo;&rdquo; Trump&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.c-span.org\/video\/?539683-1\/president-trump-campaigns-tucker-carlson-glendale-arizona\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">said<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In the wake of Biden&rsquo;s &ldquo;garbage&rdquo; smear, the media rushed to <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/11\/02\/media-run-blatant-election-interference-with-propaganda-about-trump-threatening-liz-cheney\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">distort<\/a> Trump&rsquo;s comments to <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/11\/01\/heres-a-list-of-every-garbage-journalist-who-lied-about-trumps-liz-cheney-chickenhawk-comments\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">make it appear<\/a> as if he was calling for Cheney to be executed via firing squad.

What Assassination Attempts?<\/h2>\n<p>If you watched and read nothing but legacy media, there&rsquo;s a good chance you&rsquo;d know little to nothing about the two assassination attempts against Trump this year. <\/p>\n<p>After a longtime Democrat donor allegedly <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/09\/16\/propaganda-media-rush-to-downplay-second-trump-assassination-effort-they-encouraged\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">tried<\/a> to kill the incoming president on his Palm Beach golf course in September, left-wing propagandists at NBC News and The Washington Post downplayed the attempted murder as nothing more than an &ldquo;incident.&rdquo; Outlets like Time magazine whitewashed the suspect&rsquo;s history of donating to Democrats, characterizing him in a tweet as a &ldquo;58-year-old with unclear political ideology.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p><strong>[RELATED:[RELATED:<a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/12\/13\/corrupt-media-obsess-over-luigi-mangione-after-memory-holing-trumps-would-be-assassins\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Corrupt Media Obsess Over Luigi Mangione After Memory Holing Trump&rsquo;s Would-Be Assassins<\/a>]<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Such dishonest propaganda isn&rsquo;t surprising, however.
