Biden’s 2020 presidential campaign could practically be a master class in hiding from the public. With COVID-19 as the perfect excuse, he ducked the traditional campaign trail and ran a “basement campaign” that involved more ice cream and bicycle mishaps than actual interaction with voters. The occasional public outing seemed less about building rapport and more like a game of whack-a-mole, where every surface had to be carefully controlled to avoid probing questions. While he attempted to show he was still in the game, his unlikely mode of transportation often had him wrestling with gravity or navigating a driveway as if it were a NASCAR track.
Meanwhile, the deep state was hard at work, determined to bury Trump under a mound of financial woes and personal attacks. The atmosphere in the country grew ever bleaker, marked by a pervasive sense of disconnection—what psychologists might label as “anomie.” This was not just a feeling of detachment from society’s norms; it was a full-scale assault on the very fabric of American life. Under the Biden administration, or the likely reincarnation of Obama’s legacy, the government vehemently attacked established norms, such as the belief in the sanctity of law, the importance of borders, and even the existence of two distinct genders. It was as if they grabbed the wheel of a runaway bus, steering it straight off the cliff of common sense.
In this chaotic environment, the feeling was unmistakable: the U.S. didn’t just lose its direction; it was adrift in a sea of confusion, with the government severing all connections to the guiding principles that once held it steady. The mainstream media, instead of acting as an anchor, jumped on board, cheering for the chaos like it was the latest sporting event they were covering live.
Alternative media outlets, such as the New York Post and conservative stalwarts like PJ Media, fought valiantly against this tide of absurdity. Yet it often felt like a battle against a relentless ocean, with the deep state actively working to undermine their voices. Censorship became the name of the game, with ads demonetized and search results manipulated, creating a landscape where discussion of conservative viewpoints felt less like a debate and more like a covert mission.
The game changed dramatically when Elon Musk came along and liberated Twitter, transforming it into a platform where free speech could thrive, now known as X. The sheer panic among mainstream media elites was tangible; it was like watching cats scramble for cover in a thunderstorm. This newfound platform and its disruptive potential struck fear into the hearts of those who had exercised total control over the narrative.
Especially with USAID not funding the media gate and fake news, we are the media now!

Bezos’s recent announcement to redirect editorial coverage at the Washington Post is a clear indication that the traditional media is feeling the heat. This shift represents not just an acknowledgment of changing sentiments but a desperate attempt to regain relevance in a landscape that’s tilting toward freedom and truth. Conservative voices, long overshadowed, are finally getting their moment in the sun, and it’s clear that the battle for America’s ideological future is far from over.
However, as PJ Media has long understood, the fight for freedom of expression continues. This isn’t merely a call to arms; it’s an invitation to join a movement that values personal liberties and the free market. By supporting conservative media, whether through becoming a VIP member or simply engaging with content, individuals can contribute to a stronger foundation for truth in America, ensuring the voices that matter are not just heard but echoed across the nation. The left may be on the defense, but now is the time to push forward and reclaim the narrative before it slips through the fingers of those who cherish liberty.
