For an industry that fashions its participants as diligent truth-seekers dedicated to uprooting government corruption, America’s legacy media has once again shown itself to be its biggest defender.
The latest case study of this phenomenon came on Tuesday during an executive order signing ceremony featuring X owner Elon Musk, who President Donald Trump tasked with leading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). The president’s newly signed
directive lays out guidance for DOGE and the administration in “eliminating waste, bloat, and insularity” within the federal bureaucracy.
When the time came to field questions from the press, the media wasted no time in fomenting Democrats’ baseless conspiracy that Musk’s efforts to identify and remove waste from the federal government represent an unprecedented and authoritarian coup against the United States. In one particular exchange, a left-wing activist masquerading as a White House reporter asked the DOGE leader what his response is to “criticism” from his “detractors … including a lot of Democrats … [who] say that [he’s] orchestrating a hostile takeover of government and doing it in a non-transparent way.”
Musk responded to the non-question by noting how “a majority of the public” gave the administration a “strong[] mandate” to root out government waste when they elected Trump and gave Republicans control of Congress. He additionally highlighted how Trump made no secret about his plans to undertake such actions during the 2024 campaign.
“The people voted for major government reform. There should be no doubt about that. That was on the campaign. The president spoke about that at every rally,” Musk said. “The people voted for major government reform, and that’s what the people are going to get.”

Much of the waste and abuse of taxpayer money that’s being exposed by the government watchdog is easily discoverable. As The Federalist’s Beth Brelje recently
observed, “A lot of this information has been readily available on the government spending website
USAspending.gov, which was spurred to life in 2006 in part through the efforts of Federalist CEO and
Co-Founder Sean Davis.”

Whether it was pushing the
Russia collusion hoax or participating in the
Hunter Biden laptop cover-up, the press have happily acted as mouthpieces for Democrats and unelected leftist bureaucrats seeking to undermine Trump and the will of the people. At every turn, the truth has taken a backseat to the Democrat Party agenda, allowing bureaucratic corruption to continue unabated.
The media’s sudden interest in “transparency” over DOGE has nothing to do with holding officials accountable or keeping the public informed. It has everything to do with upholding the status quo they’ve spent decades protecting, and they will say or do anything to keep it.
Commentary:
Well, for four years the Biden administration pledged transparencyand the pub;iv saw litle if and coming from the White House.
However, despite all the media hype, Trump has held more open transparent interviews with the media than Joey B. did in his four years of driving America into the ground.
Trump's creation of DOGE and appoint Elon Musk to carry it out is brilliant. Most of all DOGE has and will uncover more agency and Democrat corruption each day that passes.
This what a free press would have done decades ago had they been honest unbiased and equally handed in their "journalism"
Think of it. Had Kamaltoe won the election we wouldn’t ever had known about ANY of this agency incompetence, corruption and the crimes would continue until one day she would hold a press conference to announce that the US was bankrupt and the government was taken over by China because we couldn't pay our debts.
