Rainn Wilson, the actor famous for The Office, just exposed the real reason Americans don’t trust the news. During a heated podcast talk with MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle, Wilson slammed left-leaning media for ignoring problems like inflation and the border crisis. Ruhle tried blaming Elon Musk and Republicans, but Wilson wouldn’t let her dodge the truth.
Ruhle claimed there’s a “concerted effort” to destroy trust in media, pointing at Musk’s X platform as a hub of “misinformation.” She said outlets like hers are the “last line of defense” against power. Conservatives know this is nonsense. The media failed when they pushed endless “everything’s fine” narratives while families struggled.
Wilson fired back, calling out MSNBC and others for acting like the “Queen of Denial” on real issues. While Ruhle blamed Musk, he reminded her that liberal outlets ignored rising grocery prices and the chaos at the border. Regular Americans saw through the lies. They’re tired of being told to trust outlets that won’t report the facts.
Ruhle’s spin wasn’t surprising. She’s a Kamala Harris supporter who attacks conservatives daily. Her job isn’t journalism—it’s protecting Democrats. When Biden’s policies hurt working people, she stayed silent. But when Trump fights fake news, she calls it “suppression.” The double standard is clear.
The truth is simple: mainstream media lost trust by putting politics over people. They called lockdowns “smart,” inflation “transitory,” and border surges a “myth.” Now they’re shocked nobody believes them. Conservatives have warned about this for years. Real journalism died when reporters became activists.
Wilson, a liberal himself, even admitted that issues like racism have “spiritual” roots. He’s right. But the media won’t talk about faith or values. They’d rather blame Musk or Trump than fix their own bias. It’s easier to call half the country “racists” than admit their mistakes.
Americans are done with institutions that fail them. Banks, big pharma, and media elites broke their promises. Now folks trust neighbors more than CNN. The solution isn’t shutting down free speech on X—it’s holding outlets accountable for lying.
Conservatives know the score. The media’s job is to inform, not gaslight. Until they report the truth about Biden’s economy or the border, trust will keep falling. Rainn Wilson’s clash with Ruhle proved what patriots already knew: the real “disinformation” comes from MSNBC.
