Mainstream Media Has Been Defanged, Declawed & Discredited. What’s Next?

On Nov. 5, 2024, the American people sent a clear message to the mainstream media: We don’t believe you anymore. Voters ignored the warnings and advice of The New York Times, The Washington Post, and every three-letter globalist broadcast network and voted for the “fascist” and “authoritarian.”

Mainstream media has officially been defanged and declawed. It is no longer the thought-molding force it’s been. If it were, its Kamala Harris propaganda would’ve been effective. It wasn’t. Moreover, it was a colossal failure. As of now, Trump has notched 5 million more votes throughout the country than Harris. And that’s not taking into consideration the likely fraud that still happened.

Yes, there are still millions under the media’s hypnosis. But the fact that Trump won, the GOP took the Senate, and Republicans are slated to keep the House, which was not projected to happen, shows that we are approaching an age in which the people no longer take the media seriously.   

Americans rejected the “candidate of joy,” the vessel that goes by the name Kamala Harris, the hollow meatbag who had, by the end of the campaign, backtracked on all her anti-American positions and outwardly embraced commonsense positions on the border, guns, and even energy. It didn’t hurt that social media was awash in videos exposing Harris as a fraud. Normal people and alternative-media figures uploaded a pile of clips with Harris espousing positions on energy, guns, and police opposite of what she claimed near the end of the campaign. She was outed as a liar, and there was nothing The New York Times could do about it.

Beginning of the End?

Trump’s arrival in 2015 on the political scene triggered the beginning of the end for mainstream media. Up until that point, he had been a media darling. He enjoyed VIP treatment on every major network and from mainstream talk shows. But once he became the point man for an America First movement that stood ready to take its country back, the teeth and fangs came out.

For nearly 10 years, the media pumped out intense anti-Trump propaganda on a nearly daily basis. It magnified and infected the airwaves with Deep State propaganda, working tirelessly to discredit Trump while concealing the criminal nature of the lawfare launched against him. The media was silent on the Hunter Biden laptop, it aided the Russia Collusion hoax, it downplayed the seriousness of the border crisis, and it tried to paint the most incompetent person to ever run for president as an able person who didn’t hate her country. With every exposed hoax, every baseless attack, more and more Americans begin to see the truth about the media.

Role of the “Captured” Media

The captured media has been positioned at the center of the globalists’ agenda to usher in a New World Order. While the globalists incrementally stacked the pieces to their budding world government apparatus, the media distracted and lied to the people. The stooges posing as journalists aided the endless wars, the deterioration of liberties, and the rising deficit. They told us that having no borders was a good thing; they told us that half the country was racist; they told us that regulated international trade that benefits everyone but Americans was a good thing; they told us that men could be women; they told us we needed to be poor and broke to save the planet from climate change. And when credible experts said there was no climate change threat, they ignored, silenced, or vilified them.

They lied about everything all the time.

They have been front and center in the effort to destroy our way of life.

Time for a Change?

But now, it appears things are about to change. A crop of alternative media figures and networks have sprung up over the last few years, joining The New American, to warn about the Deep State. For decades, TNA stood as a lone voice in the wilderness, screaming at the top of our lungs that the globalists were coming. Now we have lots of help.

So what’s next?

Alternative media is going to overtake mainstream media. That has already begun. Figures like Tucker Carlson, Dan Bongino, and Steve Bannon are attracting much larger viewerships than mainstream outlets.

Mainstream media is also likely to start a pivoting to the center. Before the election, Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos blocked his paper from endorsing Harris. The reason? Because it would further discredit his newspaper. This happened with the Los Angeles Times as well. Rumor is Bezos is pushing his paper’s leadership to bring some conservatives on staff. CNN began its pivot a couple years ago, when it became obvious that it would not survive on its current trajectory. It ousted its most ridiculous figures — Chris Cuomo, Don Lemon, and Brian Stelter — and began bringing in more conservative voices on its panels.
