Summary

It’s time to sett the record straight on “The Media.” More than 100 days since starting his second term, and the corporate media has nothing good to say about President Donald Trump, and his administration. Elon Musk received negative coverage 96% of the time on evening news, according to an April study conducted by the Media Research Center. Why did the media go from loving Sen. John Fetterman to questioning his mental competency? Bottom line: What the corporate media, most namely ABC, NBC and CBS, labels “the truth” is wholey dependent on whether it benefits the political Left, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words:” “Elon Musk, according to the Media Research Center, has had 96% unfavorable coverage in our American media. What did he do that was so wrong? He rescued astronauts who were stranded in space. Tesla has revolutionized the electric vehicle industry. Social media is open and free, due to his acquisition of X. Starlink has more satellites—that private entity that he created—it has more satellites than the governments of the United States, all of the EU countries, and China combined. It is the world's methodology of accessing high-speed internet from remote places or anywhere.
