Recently, President Biden took some time to chat about the changing landscape of media in the United States. He pointed a finger at the wealthiest individuals, claiming that these multi-billionaire types are starting to control not just the media, but also the economy. In his view, this concentration of power is a significant issue, and he’s worried about who will step up to fight for the average American. However, many might say this frustration is a bit ironic, considering that this same media landscape often gave Biden a warm welcome, especially leading up to his debates with Donald Trump.
Fox News contributor Joe Concha, known for his keen insights into media trends, listened attentively to Biden’s remarks. He couldn’t help but point out the hypocrisy of the president’s claims regarding the “billionaire media class.” After all, for many years, these same media outlets seemed to have Biden’s back. It’s almost as if the president is using a ‘blame game’ strategy now that he finds himself in a more challenging political landscape. The irony isn’t lost on anyone—especially since Biden’s chosen platform, MSNBC, is not known for giving pro-Trump voices any airtime at all.
Concha also made a cheeky reference to Biden’s tendency to play it safe, noting that his team has kicked him off the podium when it’s time for solo press conferences. He humorously referred to Biden’s current standing as possibly the most unpopular president since Richard Nixon. The stage is set for the next election cycle, and many folks are already eagerly anticipating Trump’s upcoming inauguration, expecting it to be an event that will shake the political landscape.
Meanwhile, Biden’s party message seems like a plea for help against the super-wealthy trying to dictate what people can say and think, almost as if he forgets that his administration had a hand in controlling opinions during the COVID-19 pandemic. It was revealed that his administration was monitoring and tagging social media posts to combat misinformation, which many argue is a significant overreach. This creates a cloud of doubt about Biden’s authenticity when he criticizes the media’s power and influence.
In a surprising twist, the conversation also shifted to Hollywood and President-Elect Trump’s distinct strategy to revitalize American filmmaking. Trump recently announced that he would appoint Hollywood A-listers like Mel Gibson, Jon Voight, and Sylvester Stallone as special envoys to rekindle film production in the U.S. The idea? To encourage studios to create movies at home rather than looking overseas for incentives. It reflects a push to put American interests first, and this message seems resonant, especially when many feel that Hollywood has strayed from its roots.
Putting out the call for a “Make Hollywood Great Again” mantra, many are hopeful that this will translate into economic benefits and a renewed sense of pride in the industry. After all, with stars rallying around Democratic candidates in recent elections showing little impact on the voting booth, it’s time for Hollywood to refocus its energy on home turf. As Americans hear calls to “Make Movies in America Again,” it’s clear that there’s a desire for a shift not just in politics but also in the cultural fabric that binds the nation together.
