The press claims neutrality, objectivity, and adherence to “standards.”
That claim does not survive inspection. In Beyond Fact-Checking, Michael Smith exposes how legacy media uses literalism, timing, and framing as political weapons against Republican presidents, especially Donald Trump. This is not error. It is method.
Trump’s exploratory remarks get treated as binding promises. Democratic spin gets repackaged as “context.” Damaging stories get buried, delayed, or memory-holed until elections pass.
From the Hunter Biden laptop to CBS pulling the CECOT segment, Smith shows the press does not simply cover politics. It curates reality, manages perception, and protects power. [Michael Smih-Substack]
Good Night, Patriots!
