If you’ve been paying attention to the news lately, you might have noticed something troubling: the media isn’t just reporting the facts anymore. In 2024, it seemed like many big outlets were more interested in pushing a political agenda than telling the truth.
A new video compilation by Grabien, a conservative media outlet, highlights ten of the most blatant media lies from the past year. This “supercut” video pulls together some of the most obvious deceptions, showing how the corporate media has crossed the line from journalism into propaganda.
These aren’t just mistakes—these are deliberate efforts to mislead the public and protect certain politicians while attacking others.
Here are the biggest lies exposed in the Grabien video:
The “Cheap Fakes” Narrative:
The media tried to downplay President Biden’s cognitive struggles by calling viral clips of him struggling to speak clearly as “cheap fakes.”
Kamala Harris’ Fake Rally Energy:
Journalists exaggerated the energy at Kamala Harris’ rallies, claiming they were filled with excitement when the crowds were actually sparse. Oh, joy.
The Beyoncé DNC Rumor:
The media hyped up a false rumor about Beyoncé performing at the DNC, hoping to drum up excitement for Kamala Harris—only for it to turn out to be completely untrue.
Fear-Mongering Over Project 2025:
The media attempted to scare people about a policy document called Project 2025, falsely claiming it would lead to extreme policies, an authoritarian dystopia, like something out of The Handmaid’s Tale.
Attacking Free Speech:
When Elon Musk re-launched X (formerly Twitter), allowing more freedom of speech, the media spent an immense amount of time attacking it, and the bedrock of democracy: the free exchange of ideas.
Kamala’s Edited Interviews:
Kamala Harris stumbled through answers on “60 Minutes” and other shows, but the media edited her responses to make her seem more competent than she really was.
JD Vance’s Coverage:
The media unfairly painted JD Vance as “weird,” despite his rags-to-riches story, while praising Tim Walz, Kamala’s running mate, with little to no critical coverage.
Trump as Hitler Narrative:
As usual, the media pushed the narrative that Donald Trump was another version of Hitler, using scare tactics to try and turn voters against him.
Biden’s Hunter Pardon Story:
When Biden claimed he wouldn’t pardon his son Hunter, the media repeated the talking points ad nausim. And then when he did partdon Hunter, the legacy media jumped to his defense, turning a potential scandal into a non-issue.
Biden’s Scripted Appearances:
The media continued to portray Biden as mentally sharp despite many embarrassing moments that showed otherwise.
These lies matter because they reveal a deeper problem: the media is supposed to be a check on government power, not an ally to one political party. But the corporate media, instead of holding the powerful accountable, is more focused on pushing a political agenda and shaping public opinion.
This is a threat to the very foundation of a free society.
According to a Gallup poll conducted in October 2024, only 31% of Americans expressed a “great deal” or “fair amount” of confidence in the media’s ability to report news fairly and accurately.
The good news is that conservatives don’t have to rely on the mainstream media anymore. Over the past few years, a conservative media ecosystem has developed that offers a different perspective on the news. The rise of independent journalists on social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter), have become go-to sources for conservatives looking for balanced and honest coverage.
These platforms allow conservative voices to be heard without the censorship and bias that mainstream outlets often display.
In fact, this alternative media ecosystem played a big role in conservative electoral victories in 2024. Conservative media helped educate voters, push back against misinformation, and provide a platform for voices that were often silenced or ignored by traditional news outlets.
Whether through reporting on important issues, fact-checking mainstream media claims, or sharing real stories from ordinary Americans, these outlets gave voters the tools they needed to make informed decisions. By supporting new media and sharing their stories, we can help build a stronger, more transparent media landscape.
Looking ahead, it’s clear that the mainstream media won’t change on its own. The media may have a stronghold on the mainstream narrative, but with the rise of independent and conservative media, the truth can still be heard.
So, what can you do as a conservative? First, don’t accept the mainstream media at face value. Check multiple sources, especially independent ones, to get the full picture. Share content from outlets that you trust and support journalists who tell the truth. Second, keep pushing for transparency and accountability in the media.
The press has a responsibility to inform the public, not deceive it.
In the end, the media’s failures in 2024 should serve as a wake-up call. As conservatives, we must stay vigilant, support alternative media, and demand better from those who claim to hold power accountable.
