Former NBC anchor Billy Bush has surfaced with allegations that the mainstream media waged a coordinated crusade to sabotage Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign. In a revealing conversation with Tucker Carlson, Bush described a disturbing trend among major networks that chose political warfare over traditional journalism. This isn’t just the usual gossip; it’s a glaring peek behind the curtain at the realm of “journalists” who traded objectivity for an agenda and a narrative.
Bush recounted an eye-opening sequence of events at ABC News that coincided with Trump’s ascent. At the time, the network allegedly assembled a 75-person investigative squad, not to cover the news but to unearth dirt on the then-candidate. This organized effort was dedicated to one goal: finding anything negative about Trump and ensuring it hit the airwaves. If a media outlet’s mission is to inform the public, then this was a brazen display of partisanship that even a casual observer could interpret as left-wing activism masquerading as news reporting.
His insights didn’t stop there. Bush reflected on what he labeled the phenomenon of “Trump Derangement Syndrome,” where logical thinking and fair reporting were tossed aside in favor of an all-out assault on Trump. This self-serving narrative was not just confined to the journalists on the ground; power players like Jeff Zucker, then-head honcho at CNN, were right in the thick of it. The media giants became synonymous with the so-called “resistance,” fully invested in dismantling Trump’s credibility at any cost.

Bush didn’t shy away from explaining the shared mission among networks; they were united in an effort to ensure Trump was ejected from the presidential race—“get him at all costs” seemed to be the mantra echoing through the boardrooms of network executives. These revelations underscore a deeply troubling alliance across media ranks that could leave any reasonable person questioning their integrity. This isn’t an isolated incident but rather a striking example of how interconnected media networks can orchestrate an effort to present a singular narrative while ignoring their ethical responsibilities.
The infamous 2005 hot mic recording, which surfaced just weeks before the 2016 election, served as the vehicle for this collective furor. It was designed to be the media’s nuclear bomb against Trump. Funny enough, while various media moguls cast themselves as champions of virtue, a significant number of voters were more focused on the actual policies at play than the sensationalized controversies. Billy Bush, for his part, faced immediate fallout from the incident that effectively blacklisted him from the media scene. Yet amid the fallout, Trump emerged victorious, proving that the boneheaded antics of a few angry journalists weren’t enough to divert the attention of an electorate that saw through the charade.
