We Won't Let Corporate Media Get Away With It
We Won't Let Corporate Media Get Away With It
Let's keep up the pressure, it's working
For our fourth edition of 5 Corporate Media Fails, there was a lot of terrible coverage to choose from. Here are five of the biggest Press fails this week that everyone needs to be aware of.
Arlington National Cemetery Incident
After Trump’s disastrous stunt at Arlington National Cemetery, Fox News told a lie so bad it was hit with a fact check label on Twitter/X. To distract from the embarrassing incident, they completely made up a story that Biden skipped an event to honor troops who were killed in Afghanistan. There was no such event planned.
In case you haven’t heard, one of Trump’s goons “pushed aside” a cemetery staffer who was trying to prevent the campaign from filming in forbidden areas. This led to a rare rebuke from the US Army and widespread condemnation.
Fox “News” couldn’t stand all of this negative attention on their dear leader, so instead of telling the truth—they told another big lie and pointed the finger at Biden.
We see you, Fox.
Trump’s Grotesque Social Media Posts
This week, while the Press said Trump was going to be out “barnstorming” swing states, Donald was back at his old vile tricks of posting garbage online.
The corporate media should be outraged. Instead, they downplay the lies, his promotion of QAnon, and Trump’s violent, sexist, and racist attacks. Even worse—they share it along with misleading headlines, and without warning labels.
I’ll say it again: No media outlet should be re-sharing disgusting images and messaging that Trump is posting. You are only making it worse.
CNN’s “Undecided” Voter
Following Kamala’s epic Convention speech, CNN aired a panel of what they called “undecided” voters. When asked, only one of the panelists said that he would be voting for Trump.
Turns out, this panelist has an extensive history of strong support for Trump. And what’s more—they claim to have told CNN this several times, but he says they insisted he participate in the segment anyway.
We launched a pressure campaign to call them out, and a few hours later CNN issued a stale response essentially blaming the panelist. They offered no apology and took no accountability. Corporate media at its finest.
Trump’s New Indictment is Not Bad for Harris
Following the Supreme Court’s backwards decision on presidential immunity, special counsel Jack Smith filed a new indictment for Trump’s Jan 6 case. This is terrible for corporate media’s pro-MAGA narrative, so several news outlets decided that they’d act like the news was somehow bad for Harris.
Give me a break. It’s just like the old headlines of “Trump gets arrested, this is why that’s bad for Biden.” If found guilty, Trump would certainly face years in prison.
The Biggest Interview Ever
Kamala’s interview on CNN was hyped up by the media to be the biggest interview in the world, as if it was going to be the ultimate test for Harris and Walz.
The Press hoped Kamala Harris would fail, and in the lead up to the interview, the corporate media took every shot they could to preemptively undermine her performance. Especially CNN, who was hilariously trying to build up the “high stakes” of the interview that they were hosting.
At the end of the day, Kamala crushed it and there was nothing for MAGA or corporate media to attack. Dana Bash certainly tried to give them fodder though, like when she asked about Trump’s attacks on Kamala’s race. But Harris expertly shot it down: "Same old, tired playbook. Next question, please.”
Overall, it was another terrible week of coverage by corporate media. We can’t let them get away with spreading Trump‘s propaganda, which is why we are calling them out at a constant.
Our pressure campaigns are working. Corporate media outlets are responding to our demands, changing their headlines, and our messages are dominating the trends on social media. This week alone, our #KamalasJoyWins and #TrumpDishonorsUS hashtag campaigns generated over a billion impressions.

Keep calling out these distasteful acts and words.
Scott, YOU, and folks like you, are doing the REAL work, that the mainstream media is neglecting to do. (Which will, I hope, ultimately result in their failure and demise.) I hope that more people open their eyes, and start to see mainstream media for what it really is: "Paid for propaganda, and a large amount of B.S. thrown in, controlled by those with the most money."
I find my best news in personal journalist's Substacks, these days, like yours.
Hell, I'm a candidate, and I've pretty much completely abandoned mainstream "news," at this point, entirely, for my own health and sanity. I've simply found other, more reliable methods of seeking out truth and fact. Thankfully, some folks have gotten wise to what's going on with all of this, as well.
We can seek out what's *really* going on, in places JUST like this, and all over social media, when we need to. Thank you for being a big part of that.
Also, I heard someone say that they were a "New Blue" the other day, on a post. I loved that so much. People welcomed them with open arms, by the hundreds, and I am so here for it. I'd love to get that trending, too!
Here's to all of the #NewBlue folks!!!
Thanks for all you do.
