The mainstream media failed to ask tough questions about COVID lockdowns and mandates. Instead of holding leaders accountable, they pushed fear and ignored facts. Americans deserved truth, not propaganda, but the press became an arm of the government’s overreach.
Studies showed lockdowns did more harm than good, but journalists didn’t care. A Johns Hopkins report proved these policies barely slowed the virus while destroying livelihoods. You wouldn’t know it from CNN or MSNBC, though. They buried the science to protect their political pals.
Millions lost jobs, businesses, and hope because of harsh rules. Kids fell behind in school, mental health crises spiked, and small towns became ghost towns. The media called critics “conspiracy theorists” instead of listening to working families. Real people paid the price for their arrogance.
Vaccine mandates split the country and attacked common sense. Research warned forced shots would backfire, but the press cheered them on. They smeared anyone questioning side effects or personal freedom. Now we see the damage—broken trust, division, and medical tyranny they still won’t admit.
Liberal outlets acted like lapdogs, not watchdogs. Leaked emails show they coordinated with the White House to spread panic. Fact-checkers became censorship enforcers, silencing doctors and parents. The “experts” were wrong constantly, but the media protected them like priests in a cult.
Fear porn replaced honest reporting. News channels ran 24/7 COVID death counts while ignoring protests or suicides. They made healthy people terrified of fresh air and human contact. It wasn’t journalism—it was brainwashing to control the masses.
David Zweig exposed how media lies hurt us all. Brave reporters like him faced cancel campaigns for telling the truth. Meanwhile, corporate news rewarded activists posing as journalists. Their arrogance left our nation weaker, sicker, and angrier.
Americans must never forget this betrayal. The press abandoned its duty to protect freedom. Next time crisis hits, we’ll turn off the TVs and think for ourselves. Real leaders don’t need propaganda—they earn trust through results, not fear tactics.
