OH PLEASE: Gavin Newsom Suggests Liberals Don’t Have a Compliant Media Ecosystem Like Conservatives Do (VIDEO)
Gateway Pundit ^

Posted on 06/27/2026 5:14:17 AM PDT by Red Badger

During a recent podcast appearance with a host from MSNOW, California Governor Gavin Newsom criticized conservative media outlets. Newsom suggests that the right has an entire system of media that creates narratives and carries talking points for Republicans. He then claims that liberals have nothing like that.

This is laugh-out-loud ridiculous.

Liberals have the entire media, with the possible exception of FOX News, which Newsom uses repeatedly to make his asinine point.

Outlets like CNN, MSNOW, the traditional networks, and all of the major newspapers frame the news in ways that try to give the Democrats an advantage every single day.

From Townhall:

Newsom is saying, with a straight face, that Democrats don’t hav the same friendly media ecosystem that Republicans do.

No, seriously.

“I mean Trump is triumphed 24/7 on these grievance networks and they come in … look, you’ve got The Daily Wire, goes to the California Post, the California Post goes to the New York Post, New York Post goes to The Five. The Five goes to the lineup of the primetime news hosts … goes right to the f***ing Oval Office,” Newsom said. “Then we’ve got Fox & Friends … then you’ve got Chris Rufo, one of the greats … it’s this circular ecosystem, this sewer that has a presidential seal and gold leaf now.”

“With respect, I don’t see that on MSNBC,” Newsom added. “I sure as hell don’t see it on CNN. I don’t see it anywhere.”

Here’s the video:

People are mocking this because it deserves mockery.

Our media functions as the public relations arm of the Democrat Party and has done so for decades.

What Gavin Newsom can’t stand is that the right now has a few alternatives.

If a liberal denies somethingyou can bet they are guilty of it... they don’t u derstsnd that denying is a form of confirmation that they are guilty.

It should be mocked. It is the inverse of reality.

What has happened is conservatives have developed media so their side of the story can be heard, if you look for it.

Such media has taken decades to arrive where it is now a significant minority of media.

If just one minor thing pierces their leftist bubble from the MSM then it’s all conservative to them. It actually shows the totalitarian impulse undergirding all leftists. It’s why they go to extremes almost instantly when they experience any level of opposition. Violence almost being a default setting. A cult like religion is probably the best descriptor of them.

Conservatives have a bunch of popular podcasts.

People listen to them at work.

I think there is a connection between those two sentences.

The way Newsom sees it, it’s 4 columns against his one.

When you’re on the left, facts don’t exist. All reality is defined by the speaker, and the media dutifully touts the nonsense as wisdom.

It used to be Rush.

Now theres a bunch of guys doing it. Some of them are pretty good. None of them are Rush though.

We were blessed with Rush Limbaugh and Andrew Breitbart.

“Liberals Don’t Have A Compliant Media Ecosystem”

That will be Sunday’s media talking point spread to all members of the Jornolist.

I’m in MA. I know many Liberals who are convinced that the entire mainstream media enterprise is far too kind to Trump and lies for him all the time.

In an optimist's dreams, a statue to Rush Limbaugh will be constructed, in his hometown of Cape Girardeau, Missouri, his adopted home of Florida, or the Hall of Statuary in the Capitol. More than anyone else, Limbaugh invented conservative talk radio, finally providing a conservative bypass of the dominant media. Before that, you had small circulation magazines like National Review, the token “moderate conservative” like William Safire in the prestige newspapers, and TV shows where Jerry Falwell or George Will was the designated conservative "punching bag" vs. three to four liberals.

AM talk radio helped bring about the rise of conservative and right wing bloggers and podcasters. Despite Limbaugh's ridicule of "conspiracy theorists", the Tucker Carlsons, Candace Owenses, Nick Fuentes, Alex Joneses, and Joe Rogans of the alt-right blogosphere should thank God for the pioneering work he laid down. So should the more traditional conservatives like Turning Point USA, Mark Levin, Hugh Hewitt.

What Newsom is unwittingly admitting is that no one believes mainstream media claptrap anymore--including his BS-- while more and more realize reality is found on FOX & other conservative and indy sources.

Thanks for clarifying, Gav.
