Vanity Fair quietly published a two-part profile of White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles that immediately reeked of establishment media malice rather than honest reporting. The piece paints a picture of inside chaos and personal attacks that conveniently fit the left’s narrative about this administration.
According to reporting distilled in mainstream outlets, the profile attributes blunt, unvarnished comments to Wiles about colleagues and the President, including characterizations of President Trump’s behavior and sharp critiques of other figures in the administration. Whether the exact wording is right or wrong, the article’s framing made it look like Vanity Fair was auditioning for a role as opposition research rather than practicing journalism.
Wiles herself rejected the piece as a “disingenuously framed hit piece,” insisting that vital context was omitted and that her remarks were distorted. The White House press shop quickly rallied around her, blasting the reporter for selective editing and obvious bias while defending her record as the President’s chief executor and loyal lieutenant.
To make matters worse, the story spread details about alleged offhand remarks on unrelated figures, including a report that a Vanity Fair journalist played a recording in which Wiles was said to have described Elon Musk with sensational claims about drug use — a claim Wiles has denied as “ridiculous.” This is exactly the kind of tabloid-style innuendo the left-leaning press uses to distract from the accomplishments of this administration.
Even establishment Republicans inside the building tried to downplay the squabble while publicly defending Wiles, a sign that the administration recognizes the obvious: the story is more about shaping public perception than correcting genuine misconduct. President Trump and senior aides have publicly backed Wiles and dismissed the notion that a magazine profile should dictate the careers of competent public servants.
Conservative Americans should view this episode as another example of the media’s campaign against anyone who helps Make America Great Again. Vanity Fair and its peers are not interested in truth when a juicy, destabilizing narrative is more profitable; their priorities are clicks and chaos, not accountability or fairness.
Our side can’t respond by mimicking their methods; we must fight with facts, expose the omissions, and keep spotlighting the real work being done for the country. Patriots should stand by proven leaders like Susie Wiles and demand that media outlets be held to basic standards of accuracy instead of being rewarded for partisan hit jobs.
If the press wants to keep doing character assassination disguised as long-form profiles, let them — but every American who cares about honest reporting and effective government should remember who’s doing the governing and who’s doing the storytelling. Support competence over smear, truth over temper tantrums, and loyalty to the work of restoring this nation.
