Vanity Fair’s two-part profile of White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles dropped like a grenade this week, spun as an inside look at the Trump White House but landing as an obvious hit piece. The long, selective interview has been seized upon by the left-wing press to paint chaos where there is steady leadership, and conservatives are rightly calling out the magazine’s framing.
The article quotes supposedly candid remarks — including Wiles describing President Trump as having an “alcoholic’s personality,” and suggesting blunt assessments about other administration figures — and even attributes a bombshell about Elon Musk that Wiles has denied. Readers should be skeptical of how those lines were placed and whether context was stripped to manufacture outrage rather than illuminate truth.
Wiles and the White House didn’t sit back and take this lying down; she blasted the piece as a “disingenuously framed hit piece” and the press secretary forcefully defended her record and loyalty to the president. This administration has delivered results for hardworking Americans, and it’s telling that a glossy outlet would chase clumsy character shots instead of reporting on tangible policy wins.
Conservative voices on the right have pushed back loudly — including Jack Posobiec on Newsmax’s Finnerty — calling out Vanity Fair’s obvious bias and the media’s relentless appetite for stories that portray this White House as unstable. Folks who pay attention know that these ginned-up profiles are less about journalism and more about scoring political points against an administration that refuses to bow to the left’s narrative.
This episode is another reminder that elite outlets will cut and paste quotes to craft a scandal, then pretend the narrative is the news. Vanity Fair’s piece reads less like investigative reporting and more like a curated campaign to delegitimize conservative governance, a trend we’ve seen time and again from the coastal media crowd. Real Americans deserve reporting that holds power to account, not hit jobs that pander to partisan gossip.
Patriots should see this for what it is: a predictable effort by the hostile press to undermine effective leadership and distract from accomplishments that put America first. Susie Wiles has earned the respect of the grassroots and the results prove the critics wrong, so conservatives must keep defending principled public servants against lazy, biased stories. The battle for truth in American journalism is ongoing, and decent, hardworking citizens must refuse to let narrative-driven outlets rewrite reality.
