Bigger players won’t tell you but…
For many years in North America, the radical right has had control over the media and pushing outrageous, sensationalist lies over reporting the facts. But after the 2024 Presidential election in the United States, the erosion of legitimate journalism only got worse. With President Trump's return to office, the right-wing establishment media in the U.S. has fully transformed into a propaganda arm of the federal government. Rather than holding power to account, these outlets now function as cheerleaders for increasingly authoritarian policies, spinning cruelty as patriotism and silencing dissent under the guise of “law and order.” One of the most disturbing developments has been the expansion of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) powers. Under the new administration, ICE has ramped up its operations with an almost military-like brutality, targeting not just undocumented migrants but legal immigrants as well. Reports have surfaced of families being torn apart, asylum seekers being detained without due process, and individuals with legal status being deported to a mega prison in El Salvador—these human rights abuses are either downplayed or outright ignored by mainstream conservative media, who portray the victims as criminals and the policies as necessary security measures.
At the same time, the federal government has mounted an aggressive campaign against LGBTQ rights, particularly targeting the transgender community. Sweeping federal laws and executive orders have effectively made it impossible for transgender people to live openly and safely. From stripping healthcare protections to criminalizing gender-affirming care, these policies have created a hostile, dangerous environment. Right-wing media not only justifies these actions but actively fuels the moral panic by spreading misinformation, framing trans people as threats, and labeling any opposition as “woke extremism.”
What passes for "news" in these outlets is little more than state-sanctioned disinformation, designed to legitimize government overreach and mislead the public. By distorting facts and drowning out critical voices, they have become complicit in normalizing oppression. Rather than informing citizens, they are conditioning them—to accept injustice, to distrust empathy, and to equate cruelty with strength.
