The piece argues that Marxism-inspired, woke culture has corrupted journalism, making journalists feel virtuous when presenting misleading or biased reports about events.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; It centers on a New York City incident near Gracie Mansion, claiming that two Muslim teenagers from Pennsylvania planned to throw homemade bombs at protesters and that CNN published an overly sanitized headline that downplayed the suspects and motives.The article notes CNN later deleted the post, saying it failed to reflect the gravity of the incident.  <\/p>\n<p>&#8211; The author cites social-media backlash, including quotes from Twitter, to claim that mainstream outlets are biased or sympathetic to terrorists, and uses the term \u201cMarxists\u201d to describe journalists perceived as aligning with woke ideology.  <\/p>\n<p>&#8211; The piece argues that \u201ccultural Marxism\u201d has infiltrated institutions like the media and schools, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/rhodes-rage\/\" title=\"Rhodes Rage\">shaping public perception<\/a> by portraying people in terms of identity (oppressor vs. oppressed) rather than individual actions, and it contends this mindset leads to self-loathing of Western society.  <\/p>\n<p>&#8211; It contrasts this with other contexts (such as UK crime coverage) and employs pop-culture references (e.g., ferris Bueller) to illustrate its point about misreporting and moral self-righteousness.  <\/p>\n<p>&#8211; the article asserts a need to reverse what it sees as a pervasive woke influence on journalism and public discourse.  <\/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<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_2)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Marxism-inspired wokeness has created a situation in which journalists feel not only compelled to lie, but virtuous for doing so.<\/p>\n<p>See, for instance, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/mainstream-media-headlines-use-subtle-spin-hide-truth-isis-inspired-nyc-attack\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">dishonest headlines<\/a> establishment news outlets published in the wake of Saturday&rsquo;s alleged terror bombing outside Gracie Mansion, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/donald-trump-the-bidens-got-rich-while-americans-got-robbed\/\" title=\"Donald Trump: &#039;The Bidens Got Rich While Americans Got Robbed&#039;\">mayor&#038;rsquo<\/a>;s residence in New York City.<\/p>\n<p>If CNN and other establishment propagandists had their way, the public would never know that 19-year-old Ibraham Kayumi and 18-year-old Emir Balat, two Muslim men from Pennsylvania, went to New York City Saturday determined to cause mass casualties by throwing homemade improvised explosive devices at protesters angry over the &ldquo;Islamification of NYC.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Two Pennsylvania teenagers crossed into New York City Saturday morning for what could have been a normal day enjoying the city during abnormally warm weather,&rdquo;

They point to CNN and other establishment outlets\u2019 headlines after Saturday\u2019s alleged terror attack near Gracie Mansion in New York City as an example. The piece claims CNN reported that two Muslim men from Pennsylvania-19-year-old Ibraham Kayumi and 18-year-old Emir Balat-came to New York to cause mass casualties by throwing homemade bombs at protesters angry about the city\u2019s \u201cIslamification.\u201d CNN\u2019s post described their day as potentially ordinary until they were arrested for throwing bombs at an anti-Muslim protest outside the mayor\u2019s residence. The post was later deleted amid backlash on social media, with CNN saying it had failed to reflect the incident\u2019s gravity.<\/p>\n<p>The article notes that many observers on X mocked CNN\u2019s reporting, and it mentions Rob Schmitt of Newsmax labeling mainstream outlets as \u201cterror-sympathizing Marxists.\u201d It argues that what it calls cultural Marxism teaches Westerners to revile their own societies and to protect those deemed oppressed, leading journalists to obscure the suspects\u2019 identities and motives as a reflexive stance. The author draws a parallel to the United Kingdom, where officials are portrayed as having aided or covered up crimes by criminal gangs, to illustrate a broader trend of self-loathing and moral posturing. The piece concludes that if obscuring the truth makes journalists feel morally superior, something more than journalism is broken.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019d like a shorter or more neutral version, or a version tailored to a specific tone (academic, news-style, or opinion), I can adjust it<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2578257,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Gracie-Mansion-terror-attack.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[4265,50623,50410,7332,6039],"class_list":["post-2578256","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-backlash","tag-cnn-2","tag-controversy-2","tag-nyc","tag-terrorism"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Gracie-Mansion-terror-attack.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2578256","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2578256"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2578256\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2578264,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2578256\/revisions\/2578264"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2578257"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2578256"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2578256"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2578256"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
