President-elect Donald Trump is standing up against the mainstream media, and making good on his promise to hold these liberal mouthpieces accountable for their relentless attacks on him.
Trump isn’t backing down as he takes legal action against major outlets like the New York Times and CBS, accusing them of “defaming and disparaging” him throughout the election. He seeks BILLIONS in damages, demanding justice for their blatant bias. The Guardian reports that the Times has been a prime offender, acting as a “full-throated mouthpiece of the Democratic party” with its industrial-scale libel against Trump.

Four Times reporters—Peter Baker, Michael S Schmidt, Susanne Craig, and Russ Buettner—are named for their defamatory coverage. Their articles, later included in a book titled “Lucky Loser: How Donald Trump Squandered His Father’s Fortune and Created the Illusion of Success,” are nothing but attempts to tarnish Trump’s reputation. Headlines like “For Trump, a Lifetime of Scandals Heads Toward a Moment of Judgment” and “As Election Nears, Kelly Warns Trump Would Rule Like a Dictator” reveal their true intentions.
Despite the truth being on Trump’s side, these reporters remain defiant through their publisher Penguin Random House, standing by their misleading narratives.

CBS News also finds itself in Trump’s crosshairs for its deceptive editing of a “60 Minutes” interview with Vice President Kamala Harris. The Trump team accuses them of partaking in election interference to boost Kamala’s chances. CBS is charged with “partisan and unlawful acts of voter interference” through malicious news distortion. Of course, CBS dismisses these allegations as meritless, but we know better than to trust these leftist networks.
This lawsuit isn’t Trump’s first battle against dishonest reporting. On Election Day, his campaign manager Chris LaCivita demanded a retraction from the Daily Beast for falsely claiming he pocketed $22 million from Trump. Even after correcting it to $19.2 million, the damage was done. The narrative painted LaCivita as deceitful, which is just another example of irresponsible journalism from liberal outlets.
Mainstream media and journalist organizations whine about Trump’s rhetoric, accusing him of inciting violence against them with phrases like “enemy within.” But let’s be honest—these complaints are just attempts to dodge accountability for their own actions. Reporters Without Borders claims attacking the press is an attack on citizens’ right to know. However, this is really about holding them responsible for spreading misinformation and ensuring they can’t manipulate public opinion unchecked.
