Trump's presidency has introduced a shift in the relationship between political figures and legacy media outlets. His approach has diminished the power of these media organizations as gatekeepers, challenging their control over public discourse. This shift has led to significant consequences, including the defunding of public media like NPR and PBS, and the cancellation of programs led by vocal critics like Stephen Colbert. The diminishing trust in traditional media is increasingly reflecting the sentiments of the American people.
What's important to keep in mind is a broader dynamic. When President Trump ran for election, he ran right at these legacy broadcast media outfits and the New York and Hollywood elites that are behind it, and he smashed the facade that these are gatekeepers that can control what Americans think and what Americans can say.
I think there's a lot of consequences that are flowing from President Trump deciding, I'm not gonna play by the rules of politicians in the past and let these legacy outfits dictate the narratives in the terms of the debate, and he's succeeding.
Just look at what's happening. NPR has been defunded, PBS has been defunded, Colbert is getting canceled.
Again, all of this is downstream of President Trump's decision to stand up. And he stood up for the American people because the American people do not trust these legacy gatekeepers anymore.
