Their style is confrontational and hyperbolic, using phrases like 'Enemy of the People' to rally followers. Credibility is low among neutral observers due to lack of primary sourcing and partisan framing, though popular in right-leaning circles.
What's This About?
The post criticizes major media outlets like NYT, BBC, NPR, CNN, and others for allegedly comparing Elon Musk's hand wave at Trump's inauguration to a Nazi salute, calling it a deliberate lie. It contrasts this with a claim that these outlets won't apply the same scrutiny to 'Mamdani,' implying media hypocrisy and propaganda. The controversy stems from Musk's chest-thump and arm extension gesture, interpreted by some as a fascist salute and defended by others, including historians, as non-Nazi[1][2][3].
🔥Why It's Trending
This post is trending amid the fresh backlash over Elon Musk's January 2025 inauguration gesture at Trump's event, fueling partisan debates on media bias and hypocrisy. Timing aligns with ongoing defenses of Musk via out-of-context Democrat photos, amplifying divisions post-inauguration. Its provocative media hit list resonates with audiences skeptical of legacy outlets.

An Israeli cybersecurity billionaire demanding to take away Americans guaranteed First Amendment Free Speech and President Trump threatening war and sending in troops to Iran is everything we voted against in ‘24. Trump voters spent the week threatening a tax revolt because they are so furious about the never ending waste, fraud, and abuse of their hard earned money going to foreigners and foreign wars. The focus should be on tax dollars here at home and defending our God given freedoms and rights.
