An unprecedented shift in controlling the US news narrative is occurring. Whereas the legacy media, in its self-ordained role as a quasi-government, led the charge in prosecuting Nixon during Watergate and in consistently promoting Democrat narratives, since January 20 it has not only lost that impetus but has had it upended by Trump’s blizzard of reforms.
In his first month in office, Trump issued 73 Executive Orders, 23 Proclamations and 12 Memorandums – more than any recent president issued in their first 100 days. The most significant theme of Trump’s reforms is his exposure of the existence of the Deep State, the entrenched empire of unelected officials within the bureaucracy of government.
Routinely disparaged and dismissed by the legacy media as a “conspiracy theory,” the reality of the Deep State is now undeniable. Its subversive role and the implications for those involved is now the narrative over which the legacy media has no control.
For decades it enjoyed credibility. The words of Walter Cronkite, Dan Rather, Ted Koppel, Harry Reasoner, Ben Bradlee, and their successors were the holy writ of news and views. But in one month that façade has been stripped away.
Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has found that Reuters received $9 million from US taxpayers to promote a programme of Social Engineering and Psychological Operations against US citizens. Left-wing publication Politico received $8 million to disseminate globalist, anti-Trump narratives. Disney’s receipt of USAID to project wokeism and transgenderism was concealed in the form of 700,000 ‘subscriptions.’ The New York Times played the role of “narrative coordination” for the rest of the mass media to disseminate.
Haemorrhaging viewership and readership, the role of the legacy media in censoring and attempting to sustain narratives is beyond salvage as the revelations of Deep State fraud and waste have further implications for those involved. The loud protests of the Democrats against the audits by DOGE serve as an indication of the extent of their collusion. It also reflects their desperation to preserve the US government as the fiefdom of globalist ideology.
The new narrative is now right versus wrong, not Left versus Right. It is now “We the people” and no longer the unelected special interests.
With savings of $55 billion already identified and the decision to mail rebate cheques for $5,000 to 79 million taxpaying households, the popularity of the DOGE shows that the negativity of the Democrats and the legacy media is on the wrong side of the history-making new narrative.
