Rob Finnerty did what too few in the media will do anymore: he called out the left’s narrative machine for what it is — a full-time operation to shape headlines, not inform the public. On his Newsmax program Finnerty tore into the double standard of how the Biden White House is treated compared with President Trump, a point that strikes a nerve with patriotic Americans who watch the same coverage and see the contrast. Finnerty’s role as a Newsmax anchor gives him a platform to push back against the establishment spin the mainstream outlets keep selling.
The conservative case is simple and facts matter: first lady Jill Biden did appear and speak at a Cabinet meeting on September 20, 2024, giving an update on the White House Initiative on Women’s Health Research — but that appearance has been breathlessly inflated by the left and their media allies into something it plainly was not. Major outlets covered the event and the White House itself described the first lady’s role as providing a topical update; the president convened and led the meeting. Those are the facts Americans should remember when the press tries to rewrite the moment into a narrative of takeover.
Independent fact-checkers examined the viral claims that Jill Biden “ran” or “took over” the Cabinet meeting and found them misleading; the binders seen in photos were ceremonial keepsakes and the White House said President Biden led the meeting. PolitiFact’s review makes plain what honest reporting would have led with: first ladies have historically addressed Cabinet-level gatherings on policy priorities, and what happened on September 20 was an update, not a coup. Conservatives should use that admission by neutral fact-checkers to hammer the point home — that context matters and the press often omits it when convenient.
That doesn’t excuse the absurdity of the mainstream’s reflexive outrage when the subject is a Republican. The same outlets that downplay or rationalize staged optics for Democratic presidents explode with indignation over far smaller gestures from conservatives. News consumers who pay attention see the pattern: selective fury, selective amnesia, and a media industrial complex that amplifies whatever weak shot it can take at a popular conservative leader while letting Democratic flubs slide.
Finnerty’s point — that this is modern-day gaslighting on an Orwellian scale — may sound harsh to those who trust the legacy press, but Americans who work hard and pay taxes see the pattern every day. When the press chases headlines instead of truth, it abandons its duty and becomes a political actor; that’s why cable outlets like Newsmax and anchors like Finnerty are so important right now, pushing back and demanding accountability. Conservatives should welcome the pushback and keep pressing for straight answers from both the White House and the so-called watchdogs who too often act as lapdogs.
So here’s the bottom line for hardworking patriots: don’t be fooled by the media’s nightly theater. Watch what the White House actually does, not what the networks pretend to see, and reward journalists and hosts who tell the whole story with your attention and your voice. If the press wants to regain credibility, it should stop manufacturing outrage and start reporting facts — the American people deserve nothing less.
