Gutfeld argues that a greater menace lies in “the media’s lockstep anti-Trumpism.” .. the media’s unwavering opposition to President Donald Trump has had far-reaching and devastating consequences, shaping public discourse and policy in ways that have deeply harmed the country.
...
anti-Trumpism .. created a climate of mass delusion, where critical issues were downplayed, ignored, twisted to avoid aligning with Trump’s views. He contends that this media-driven narrative led to some of the nation’s most damaging decisions during pivotal moments.
He gives four examples to prove his point.
The first is the rise in crime.
...
unfettered illegal immigration stressed all our country’s systems, as well as introducing more violent crime, that would put you on the side of Trump. You can’t do that, decides the media. So it kept going, and people died.
...
The third example is COVID. He recalls the media’s role in distorting truth for the sake of opposing Trump. Boy, is he correct here. Gutfeld cites the reluctance to explore the lab leak theory as a plausible origin of the virus, remarking, “If you admitted that COVID came from China, likely a lab leak, then you were on the side of Trump. So you can’t do that either
....
one of the biggest examples was the media war on hydroxychloroquine, which Trump had promoted as a possible therapeutic. The media promptly trashed Trump for suggesting it, and pushed the narrative that hydroxychloroquine was dangerous. Studies have since shown the antimalarial drug reduced the Covid fatality rate by roughly 50%.
...
Finally, .. Joe Biden, that the media’s protective stance has contributed to a lack of honest scrutiny. .. if you admitted he was unfit for office and

a mass delusion driven by bitterness, ego, and an emotional infantilism brought this country to the brink

People reporting on people’s reporting. Hmmm.
Gutfield reporting on the Old Media’s suicidal lust for Progressive power.
When the legacy reporting was distorted and weaponized against a POTUS and then former Pres
Yes people should report on other people reporting
I don’t listen to him. My wife likes him.
gutfeld has taken more paternity leave than buttigieg
I think I would be having a cognitive problem if I needed someone like Gutfeld to explain to me why the MSM was anti-Trump.
I liked and watched the show when it first aired, but avoid it now.
Hope he is back soon. The show’s comedy aside, his opening dialogues are downright cerebral.
“Gutfeld has taken more paternity leave than buttigieg”
And?
Buttigieg held a high ranking government position at the time. Greg has a comedy show. We watch him nightly to get a news round up often he has good guests. I miss him, don’t miss his disgusting jokes one bit, I use it as an example of what to do when you achieve a position, real estate and job security
Buttageg doesn’t do his jobs either way on or off paternity leave. East Palestine ring a bell? Aircraft accidents?
He shares some of the blame for the actions and statements of the federal government.
President Trump certainly was President at the time, but he was in no position to throw out the entrenched Deep State scum from the CDC, FDA, NIH, etc - like Fauci, et al. President Trump doesn't pretend to be a scientist, and although his gut was telling him to do otherwise - he had to go with the insistent advice from the Deep State scum. The Media would have ate him for lunch had he done otherwise (and even though he put the sainted Fauci in charge, the Media and Deep State still blamed President Trump for almost everything).
Now he knows better, but at the time he didn't have a choice. His only mission was to get the Country running again, and his surrounding 'experts' were conspiring to do otherwise.
Adore Gutfeld. He’s the only news show I will occasionally watch. I get all my news from conservative websites. They’re biased in my direction. Agree Gutfeld’s humor is a bit much, but I love his regulars and sometimes his guests. Used to be a regular Johnny Carson watcher and still own the laser disks from his show. Don’t mind comedy views on news, as long as it’s not liberal comedy. I spend a lot of time laughing at the news, too.
The media is evil. Gutfeld should get back to work.
Gutfeld is annoying, but this is a good analysis on his part.
