Rob Finnerty did what too few in the media will do: he called out the liberal press for playing pretend while pretending to be the referees of truth. On his show he tore into the narrative-sculpting that paints President Trump as some kind of menace while treating bewildering lapses and spectacle from the other side as mere “normal politics.” Conservative viewers should be grateful someone is cataloguing these double standards and giving the American people a fighting chance to see the story straight.
The numbers themselves are damning of the media’s selective outrage. A Washington Times count shows President Trump took nearly 100 questions from reporters during his first three open Cabinet meetings this year, compared with roughly five questions that President Biden took over nine Cabinet meetings in his entire term — a difference so stark it exposes how the press protects one administration while attacking the other. That isn’t “spin,” it’s arithmetic, and the public deserves to know which side of the ledger the so-called fact-checkers are hiding.
If you needed proof that the press and the Democrat machine would rather stage-manage than inform, look no further than the day the first lady stepped in to address the Cabinet. The White House transcript from September 20, 2024, shows First Lady Jill Biden giving substantial remarks at the top of a Cabinet meeting — a curious novelty that had the mainstream media shrugging while conservative outlets asked why the events had been so carefully window-dressed. The refusal to treat that moment with the seriousness it deserved told you everything about who the media serve.
Finnerty’s description of the coverage as “1984 gaslighting to the umpteenth degree” cuts to the bone because this isn’t mere bias; it’s active narrative control. When reporters who are supposed to pry and prod instead paper over uncomfortable realities, they stop being journalists and start being spin doctors for an entrenched political class. Americans who still value honest reporting should be furious, not indifferent, watching a once-free press morph into a protective wing of one party’s political operation.
The Trump White House has been smart to lean into transparency and take questions — precisely the contrast Karoline Leavitt highlighted in defending the administration’s openness to reporters at Cabinet sessions. That openness matters because it forces accountability in real time instead of letting aides curate a story for the cameras later. The people deserve leaders who answer questions, not leaders whose handlers hide them away behind staged soundbites and sympathetic anchors.
Patriots should see Finnerty’s segment for what it is: a call to arms against a corrupting media culture that values preservation of power over plainspoken truth. It’s time for hardworking Americans to demand that news outlets stop playing games and start doing the jobs they claim to do — ask the hard questions, report the facts, and stop protecting political theater. If the press won’t reform itself, conservative journalists and voters must keep the spotlight blazing until it does.
