Mainstream media’s credibility crisis isn’t the fault of conservatives — it’s their own. Actor Rainn Wilson called out MSNBC host Stephanie Ruhle for blaming Elon Musk and Republicans for crumbling public trust. Real Americans know the truth: leftist journalists got lazy pushing Democrat talking points instead of holding power accountable.
Ruhle tried claiming “misinformation” on social media platforms like X destroyed faith in news outlets. She ignored how legacy media became cheerleaders for the Biden administration. While Trump faced endless negative coverage, Biden’s border chaos and economic failures got soft treatments. Of course people stopped trusting them.
Wilson nailed it when he asked why media lacks “passion” confronting Biden’s disasters. Under Trump, every tweet sparked hysterical headlines. Now, record inflation and illegal immigration barely make the news. Ordinary folks see the double standard. They’re not stupid — they’re switching off propaganda masquerading as journalism.
Ruhle whined about “concerted efforts” to undermine media trust. Funny how she forgets her own network’s role. MSNBC smears anyone right of Bernie Sanders as “extremists” while ignoring Hunter Biden’s laptop or FBI censorship schemes. When media abandons fairness, they lose the right to call themselves truth-tellers.
The left’s obsession with controlling the narrative blew up in their faces. They called Musk a villain for buying Twitter and restoring free speech. Turns out, Americans prefer open debate over censored “fact checks” from blue-check journalists. Real news doesn’t need government-approved narratives to survive.
Wilson, a self-described liberal, shocked Ruhle by siding with everyday Americans over coastal elites. Even Hollywood actors see how out-of-touch MSNBC sounds. Working families don’t care about “insurrection” gossip — they want coverage of gas prices, crime waves, and open borders. Media forgot to serve the people.
Conservatives didn’t kill trust in institutions — arrogant leaders did. Banks, big pharma, and media betrayed the public repeatedly. When legacy outlets parrot White House press releases instead of asking tough questions, they become pawns, not watchdogs. No wonder 40% of Americans tune them out.
The solution isn’t silencing Musk or Rogan. It’s returning to honest reporting that holds both parties accountable. Until then, legacy media will keep shrinking — and independent voices will keep rising. Let that be a lesson: serve the truth, not the powerful, or get left behind.
