The days when the liberal media cabals of New York and Washington, DC dictated the narratives of the nation are officially over. The media’s grip on the conversation has loosened significantly, especially after what many consider a disastrous 2024, where trust in mainstream outlets hit new lows. Amid the chaos of biased reporting, the average American has started turning away from traditional news sources faster than President Biden blinks at a tough question.
For years, these media elites have operated under the illusion that they controlled the flow of information. They crafted talking points, pushed questionable agendas, and believed that their brand of journalism could weather any storm. However, as the public caught on to the incessant spinning of news to fit a progressive agenda, conservative voices began to rise. It’s almost as if Americans decided they preferred to get their headlines from the source, rather than through a foggy filter of leftist ideologies.
The end of 2024 exposed the media’s ever-increasing struggle with credibility. The sensationalism, which often resembles reality TV rather than journalism, led to a significant decline in viewership and trust. Americans, fed up with the lack of objective reporting, are now seeking opinions and news from alternative sources that align more with their values. One can only assume that during family dinners, the conversation has shifted from the latest Washington scandal to why Aunt Martha can’t stop watching the Fox News Channel for real information.
Every bit of the distrust and repugnance the American people rightly feel toward the media is on point. This is all self inflicted by them.
Nobody trusts anybody that lies to them constantly.

If one thing is certain, it’s that the left’s attempts to shape public opinion through their media platforms are falling flat. The narrative might be refreshing for liberal elites sipping lattes in their Upper West Side lofts, but the average American in Middle America has more pressing concerns than what the latest trendy headline is telling them. As 2025 rolls in, these media giants might find themselves scrambling for relevance as they continue to misjudge the public’s appetite for honest reporting versus agenda-driven narratives.
As the conservative movement pushes back against this established order, traditional media may need to rethink its strategy entirely. Rather than attempting to mold America to fit their perspective, they might want to start reporting on what’s actually happening in communities across the country. For too long, their focus on divisive issues and manufactured controversies has alienated the true heart of America. As they continue to ignore this shift, they may find themselves sidelined, with various alternate platforms having stolen the show. Perhaps a little humility and a return to the roots of journalism could help coax back those lost viewers—or they could just keep digging their own grave, one biased article at a time.
