As we head down the home stretch, the mainstream media is in a panic. The New York Times makes sure to tell everyone who Trump is “increasingly angry and rambling”. CNN talks about “Trump lies”. Axios is already dancing on the grave of the GOP. NBC News wants to keep picking at the point that Trump and his wife don’t agree on abortion (have you ever known a husband and wife who didn’t have disagreements?) Rolling Stone revives the golden oldie of Trump saying he’s going to be a dictator. USA Today cherry picks a FEMA administrator who’s covering FEMA’s ass at its incompetence. In other words, just a normal day for the mainstream media, which has already memory-holed yesterday’s triumphant return to Butler and a series of highly informative and inspiring speeches by Trump and Musk among others.
In the meantime, Google has ranked The Hindustan Times (yes, the Hindustan Times) in order to display a positive story about Harris. It seems that someone who calls himself “The US Nostradamus” has predicted a Harris victory based on seemingly nothing more than…he has predicted that there would be October surprises in past elections.
The Harris search results look like the PR news feed for the Harris campaign. She’ll be on The View, Colbert, and Howard Stern, three hard-hitting news teams that will surely challenge her with tough questions. Oh yes, and Muslims leaders have endorsed Kamala Harris, yet another notch in the quiver of Harris, who has managed to get endorsements from all Muslims, all Jews, all finance experts, all former Bush and Romney aides, all labor unions, all women, and all men. Congratulations to Vice President Harris for locking up endorsements from the entire human race, living and dead.
Oh yes, and Harris’s plan to tax unrealized capital gains is great for you! Ignore social media! Trust CNN, the most trusted name in trusted names!

Back in July, I didn’t think that the mainstream media could get any more unhinged and blatant in their support for Harris. But was I wrong. Now, with a month left until Election Day, we have stories of mean Ron DeSantis “refusing” to take Harris’s call (uh…he’s a little busy right now), how Harris undergoes a “grilling” on 60 Minutes (which, of course, was more like a “very light sear”), and of course paints Trump as “vile” and “shameless” with “white supremacist rantings”. It’s hard to believe there are Americans who are still buying this garbage. But when Google News shows close to 100% negative coverage for searches for “Trump”, do they have a choice?

Harris had what was by most accounts a disastrous “hard hitting” interview with 60 Minutes. It was a rare moment when CBS News—perhaps recognizing that it has gone well past destroying the legacies of Murrow, Friendly, Sevareid, and Cronkite—actually asked real questions to Harris. Her answers were embarrassingly evasive and simplistic. Notice that no one is covering it, and that CBS News doesn’t even show up as a source today. Instead, the media is fawning over how Harris is on a “media interview blitz” with hard-hitting reporters like Howard Stern, Stephen Colbert, and the ladies of The View.
As always, Trump news is overwhelmingly negative. Google News sees it fit to serve up stories from Al Jazeera, Slate, and Mother Jones over sites like Daily Wire and The Blaze. And of course, every poll where Harris seems just a little ahead is amplified way out of proportion.

Strange to see it, but there were actually several negative headlines about Harris today. Her performance on 60 Minutes has been completely memory-holed, but Harris continues to be awkward and stiff even on the friendliest of interview shows. Is the negative coverage because these media outlets don’t want Harris supporters to get a false sense of security after all the fawning coverage, or is it because realize that Harris is dragging them down? Whatever the reason, it’s good to see some rare glimmers of real journalism.
Of course the Google “algorithm” has to make sure that bad Harris headlines don’t outweigh the good, and that Trump headlines continue to be almost exclusively negative. It looks like the first of the Democratic Party’s “October Surprises” was a new book by Bob Woodward, with a freshly polished “Russia, Russia, Russia” turd, and Susan Rice rushes to wag her finger at Trump (where are the wagging fingers at her disastrous handling of Benghazi and the “Pallets of Cash” to Iran all of which DIRECTLY LED to the chaos we see in the world today?).
The leftist media just seems to be regurgitating all of their talking points. Russia, Russia, Russia! Trump lies! Trump is too old! Trump is a fascist! And in truly bizarre examples of the leftist media not wanting to put a crisis to waste, somehow they are finding ways to attack Trump—a private citizen—for the hurricanes hitting the east coast instead of focusing attention on some of the disastrous things happening with the executive branch and FEMA.

In what smells a little like a desperation move, the Harris campaign has dragged in Barack Hussein Obama who, true to form, immediately plays the race card by chiding black Americans for not considering Harris, and belittles Trump (remember, the guy who stood up after two assassination attempts) as not representing “real strength”.
Speaking of real strength, governor DeSantis has been running a clinic on how to handle a natural disaster, and is getting pilloried by media outlets like MSNBC for playing politics by NOT dropping everything to talk to Kamala, who has nothing to do with FEMA or the federal government’s response. The media is, of course, upset that unlike Chris Christie who enjoyed a nice bromance with Obama on the beach during Hurricane Sandy, DeSantis is actually focusing on his job.

As we head towards the final weeks of the election, the mainstream media is no longer painting a picture, they’re desperately throwing buckets of paint.
Note the words in the headlines about Trump. “Full Nazi”. “MAGA extremists”. “Clown-like”. “Fascist goals”.
And the words in the headlines about Harris. “Biden called her ‘President'”. “Close the deal”. “Finish strong”. “Quick fixes”.
It’s clear that this election really isn’t about Trump vs. Harris or even Republicans vs. Democrats. This election will show, once and for all, how much influence the mainstream media has on the American people. Every election result since 2008 (yes, including 2016) happened because of the influence of the mainstream media and Google facilitating it. If Trump wins, the era of the mainstream media will be officially over. And not a minute too soon.

The anti-Trump wall continues. Here are the words in the headlines that Google wants the electorate to see: “frustrated”, “racist”, “anti-immigrant”, “darker”, “worse”, “let it burn”, “hatred”, “this is what Donald Trump really sounds like”, “offensive”, “throws away the playbook for a peaceful transition”.
Funny thing is, if you listen to just one of his rallies, you’ll hear uplifting, optimistic messages about unleashing American ingenuity, bringing back American manufacturing, putting more money into America’s pockets, and stopping the abuses and excesses of government power. But if you read Google News, you’ll see none of that. Neither do you see eloquent and inspirational messages from people like RFK Jr, Tulsi Gabbard, JD Vance, and Nicole Shanahan on the campaign trail. Making the rounds on X today was a video of JD Vance being challenged by an unhinged New York Times reporter, and Vance responding with clear, accurate, and comprehensive answers. Will you see those answers on the pages of the New York Times? Of course not.
In the meantime, outlets like The Hill and the Washington Post are starting to do some serious CYA, so they can hold on to some shred of credibility in a Harris loss. But the faithful like AP are doubling down: if black men don’t respond to Obama’s call for them to vote for Harris, it’s because they hate women, of course.
