‘The Office’ Star Rainn Wilson Rips ‘Left-Leaning’ Media During Interview With MSNBC Host, Claims Biden Coverage Fostered Mistrust

“The Office” star Rainn Wilson slammed “left-leaning” media outlets for causing the public to lose trust in President Donald Trump and Elon Musk — while being cheerleaders for the Biden administration.

Wilson, who played the ambitious Dwight Schrute on the hit show, voiced his complaints to MSNBC anchor Stephanie Ruhle during an interview with her on his “Soul Boom” podcast Tuesday. He said left-wing outlets like MSNBC were in denial in their coverage of Biden’s faltering mental acuity and issues important to voters like inflation and illegal immigration — but are now overly negative in their coverage of Trump and the White House.

“This is where I would push back: when I see this kind of insight and passion being directed at the current administration and the lack of this kind of insight and passion being directed at the previous administration,” Wilson said.

What he said is being completely over exaggerated. This is clickbait.

Another actor with an opinion.

I like his acting. I don’t think his take on politics is any more valid than any other “Joe” in the world.

This is clickbait

Until I learn otherwise I assume that pretty much any article on the Internet is click bait.

I disagree.. in the following quote, he’s directly accusing the media of a double standard, just as the headline says.

“This is where I would push back: when I see this kind of insight and passion being directed at the current administration and the lack of this kind of insight and passion being directed at the previous administration,” Wilson said.

Of course, using words like “rips” and “slams” is a bit hyperbolic - but pretty much every headline does that.
