This morning I received a text from someone I have never met. It read:
Hello Dr Gorka, I’m a reporter at the Washington Post and we are working on an article about how Donald Trump‘s messages on TruthSocial are communicated outside that particular platform by a key group of his like-minded supporters.
You are one of the people whom our data team identified as a key individual (in addition to Mark Levin, Laura Loomer, and Gen Michael Flynn, among others) who helps DJT spread his messages to the wider world.
We wanted to ask for your comment about that role if you see it as necessary, and how and why you do what you do with respect to his messages.
We have identified some of Trump’s most popular sentiments as those around 2020 election fraud and 2024 election interference.
Would you care to comment on the piece?
Many thanks for considering it. -Sarah Ellison (Sarah.ellison@washpost.com)
This is not the first time I have been contacted on my private number by a member of the mainstream media. My responses are usually a variation of what I texted back to Ms. Ellison this morning:
You work for a propaganda arm of the Democrat Party and as such are a willing foot-soldier for an “elite” that hates Western Civilization and its apotheosis, the United States.
Your pro-Hamas tweets evince as much.
You are scum and a hack.
Go to Hell.
And you can quote me.
Now on first blush, this may seem a tad harsh.
It is not. Just think about it.
Whether it is WaPo, the NY Times, CNN, MSNBC, Newsweek, Time, or even NPR, think about what they have done as “journalists” in just the last few years.
From propagating the “Russia, Russia, Russia!” collusion hoax on behalf of Hillary Clinton, Biden, and the Democrats, to incessantly labeling the proposition that COVID originated from the Chinese Army biolab in Wuhan was a “conspiracy theory,” or instead preaching to us that the COVID vaccines prevent the spread of the disease and you’re even catching it, they have zero integrity.
After willingly suppressing the real Hunter Biden “Laptop from Hell” story before the 2020 election, or propagating the “fine people on both sides” lie about Charlottesville to hurt President Trump, the mainstream legacy media have amply demonstrated that they are one of the most corrupt enterprises in modern America.
And Sarah Ellison is no exception.
Her X account is ample proof of the arrogance of today’s media. Full of attacks on President Trump, the man leading with American voters in the presidential polls, when not posting on the side of the pro-Hamas, pro-terrorist Jew-haters running amok on American campuses, she is an exemplar of a media that detests the United States, supports her enemies and has utter contempt for those who love the US.
My attitude to hacks like her has been the same since I worked in the Trump White House. And I never could comprehend the attitude of my fellow high-level political appointees who would work with the media industrial complex, giving them on-record, off-record, and “on background” access.
I would often ask them: “Why are you helping people and institutions who actually hate you, the man you work for, and the 63 million Americans who chose him as our President? (And I am disappointed and dismayed to see so-called “Conservative” media personalities post selfies last weekend from the White House Correspondents Association Dinner. Seriously? Why on earth would any patriot attend an event that is the greatest concentration of America-haters in tuxedos?)
It can’t be stated too often. America is split down the middle. Not along the political or tribal identity of Republicans versus Democrats. The dividing line is between those who love the greatest nation the World has ever seen, and those who hate it and are destroying it. If you are reading this, I believe you are in the former group.
Sounds like it could be a gag-order trap for Trump allies to me.
There are a lot of things I like about Sebastian Gorka. The fact that Leftists hate him is only icing on the cake.
This is not a new concept, but it still amazes me that while America is very divided (and has been for decades), the field of journalism isn’t split 50/50 the way the country is. The field of journalism is nearly 100% Democrat. And the only reason the country remains 50/50 is because 100% of the journalists are working full-time to prop up the Democrats so that they can make their 50% quota. Without the constant media support, far more people would wake up and realize how poisonous the Left is.
He describes America First verses America Last very fluidly.
Thank YOU Dr. Sebastian Gorka for speaking truth to self absorbed corrupt propagandists at the Washington Post.
Thanks for posting. Good response to the well-paid, deceiving propagandist. Sarah Ellison will not stop.
"Our data team". Awwww, that's so precious! The low IQ adolescent journo hacks who live in a bubble on Mars, hired themselves a "data team"!
It is split more like 50-30-20.
50% on the side that loves America. 30% loves America, but have bought into the insessant propaganda of the Left, that to save America, they most stop President Trump from regaining power. 20% who hate America, and spent a considerable amount of their time and effort in convincing the 30% to vote with them by pushing the lies.
Give em hell Seb!!!!

I saw where journalism was heading many moons ago with a college newspaper. It was used as a personal soapbox by most of its staff, a vehicle where they put their personal psychoses into print. They would attack people by name, some of whom I knew personally so I knew what was being printed was at best misleading (I'm being generous here). Never saw a retraction when a complaint was made. On several occasions, the outrage from the student body was loud enough that the staff was caught stealing and disposing as many copies of the offending issue as they could, my guess is out of fear that if the offending issue got the attention of the larger student body, their offices would get torched.
The paper had a core group that were the ringleaders who used threats to keep the other writers in line. The University was made aware of this, but did nothing.
It did come to sort of an end though. Lets just say a very credible offer that couldn't be refused was made to some of the core group by several members of the student body who had quite enough of the shenanigans.
Gorka should just have responded: Hey, I’m a happily married guy! And I don’t mess around with presstitutes.!
Works for me.
Yep! And my Tagline says it with every post.
bflr
Yep. Veiled threat: “We're watching you and are ready to pounce.”
