WATERTOWN, NY — Gather ‘round, patriots, because the house of cards built by the legacy media is collapsing faster than Joe Biden on a staircase. And no, this isn’t hyperbole—it’s the headline we should’ve seen plastered coast to coast months ago. But instead, we got spoon-fed the “most cogent Biden ever” lie on repeat, while the mainstream media played nursemaid to a narrative no one was buying, not even in their own party.
Rasmussen—the same polling firm that nailed 2024 predictions while the rest of the media clutched their pearls—now confirms what any sentient being with a WiFi connection already knew: 63% of likely voters believe the media actively covered up Biden’s cognitive decline. That’s not a margin of error, folks—that’s a supermajority.
Even 43% of Democrats—yes, Democrats—are blowing the whistle. And the numbers only get worse (or better, depending on your perspective): nearly 70% of Latinos believe there was a media conspiracy to shield America from the truth about Grandpa Joe’s failing faculties. So much for “protecting democracy,” huh?
Let’s call it what it is: fraud, not “flawed coverage.” The networks didn’t miss the signs—they ignored them. They didn’t report the facts—they buried them. And now, as the legacy media’s funeral dirge grows louder, Fox News is doubling the ratings of both CNN and MSNBC combined. That’s not competition, that’s a cremation.
Take MSNBC’s Morning Joe, aka the world’s longest-running Biden fan club meeting. Host Joe “Best Biden Ever” Scarborough has watched 40% of his audience vanish since Trump re-entered the picture—and nearly 50% of viewers aged 25–54, the demo advertisers actually care about, jumped ship faster than Kamala from a tough question.
And now, in a move so disingenuous it would make Baghdad Bob blush, CNN’s Jake Tapper—yes, the same Jake Tapper who spent four years telling you everything was fine—is suddenly on an “oops tour,” peddling a new book called Original Sin. In it, he suggests he just now realized Biden’s re-election bid was a disaster. Right, Jake. Just like you just now realized viewers aren’t interested in pre-approved DNC talking points.
Tapper’s recent admission—“conservative media was right, and legacy media was wrong”—sounds like repentance until you scratch the surface. Because let’s be honest, this wasn’t a journalistic oversight—it was a coordinated media blackout. A propaganda campaign with the subtlety of a North Korean press release.
The damage? Oh, just the complete collapse of public trust in the institutions that once claimed to hold power accountable. And the death of the legacy media? Self-inflicted. Cause of death? Suicide by sycophancy.
Let’s not pretend they were blindsided. They gaslit America while the President glitched through speeches and wandered off podiums like a Roomba in a gravel pit. They told us it was fine—better than fine, in fact. Biden was “sharp,” “decisive,” “lucid”—take your pick of the pre-approved adjectives.
But they weren’t fooling us. They were fooling themselves. And now, as the truth steamrolls over their house of lies, they want credit for owning up after the damage has been done?
Save it, Jake. Stuff it, CNN. Cry harder, MSNBC. You didn’t get it wrong. You hid it. And the American people—Trump voters, independents, and now even disillusioned Democrats—know it.
This wasn’t just a media failure. This was the original sin of the 2024 election cycle. A betrayal not just of journalistic ethics, but of the country itself.
And we’re here to make sure you never forget it.
