The establishment media’s latest attempt to whip the White House Signal controversy into a frenzy appears to be crashing and burning faster than a solar-powered car in a snowstorm. For a solid nine days, they tried to elevate what should have been a minor blip on the political radar into a full-blown scandal, but the American public’s attention span is proving to be as short as their patience with the talking heads on cable news.
Day after day, pundits in the mainstream media bellowed about how this drama was somehow a serious blow to the integrity of the White House. They clutched their pearls, as if they just discovered that the president enjoys pineapple on pizza. This is hardly surprising, given that sensationalism is the media’s favored currency, and any accidental incident can quickly morph into a circus sideshow—if it fits their narrative, of course.

Despite their tireless effort and increasingly desperate attempts to keep the story alive, the general public seems more interested in what’s for dinner tonight than in the latest breathless report from journalists bent on finding that plot twist which just isn’t there. Americans are savvy enough to see through the smoke and mirrors; they understand when a media narrative is merely meant to distract from issues that actually impact their day-to-day lives—like inflation, crime rates, and gas prices that resemble a college tuition bill.
The media’s overblown approach to covering this saga has backfired spectacularly. Viewership numbers suggest that even the brain-dead habit of Americans flicking on the tube for some ‘news’ has limits. More and more, citizens are tuning out the outrage machine that has been running on overdrive and shifting their attention to more pressing matters—like avoiding traffic on the way to work or stocking up on supplies ahead of the next grocery depletion.
As days passed, the supposed controversy lost its steam and began to look more like a campfire that sputtered out after being doused with a bucket of cold water. This is a clear indication that their strategy of scandal cake has left a sour taste in the mouths of most Americans. In a country where real issues should dominate the headlines, it seems people would rather see the establishment media stop trying to gin up outrage over nothing and focus instead on actual problems.
