Juanita Broaddrick Calls Out Legacy Media For Constant Lies

A tweet from Juanita Broaddrick ignited a long-suppressed debate and charged the media with claimed deception in an obvious case of self-reproach. It was short, blunt, and full of grit: “Legacy media lies. They will continue to lie. Period!” But the replies? The whole other thing.

Neither was the response to the tweet timid. Some supported her views wholeheartedly, calling the media “pathological liars” pushing a far-left agenda. Others dragged the politicians into the muddle, one quipping, “Joe Biden behind closed doors is sharp 🤡.” Ouch.

Some, however, turned the other way. A few pushed back, some subscribe to the theory that the media is not all that dishonest. One retort was simply put: “Except, nope. Mostly all true.” To say this was adding fuel to fire is an understatement.

It is interesting to observe that many participants rejected all traditional news just as bluntly. “MSM is dead a long lonesome time ago; X is the media now,” read one. “Exactly, we are the main stream media now,” one half-joked. It’s a whole mood-out; people are simply fed up and sourcing for news from social media, with some even willing to say it is a bad idea.

Then there were the ones who simply wanted revenge: “I want to see them all swing for their crimes,” tweeted one. Yikes. An exceptionally extreme opinion. But hey, that, with confidence so low in the media, is what gives it flavor.

Another point, however, expertly argued that while misinformation has always existed, the present moment is turbocharged with it. “The legacy media has long been accused of distorting facts and pushing biased narratives,” they said. This explained that whether the narratives were being orchestrated by political agendas or corporate interest, in many minds, their depiction of events lacked objectivity. Fair enough; media bias is not anything new; it just seems that at this moment in time, it is being seen under a lot of skepticism with growing dissatisfaction towards them.

And what about comments like: “Liars, liars, pants on fire 🔥.” Classic, informative, and, yeah? Kinda funny.

This whole thread stands as proof that people have gone completely polarized about any news with some trustworthiness. Some are willing to incinerate it all; others roll their eyes at the outrage; some are just there for the memes. But one thing we can be sure of is that Broaddrick has gained a following. Regardless of the side one takes, that media distrust has become a flame is certainly proof that for now, the paradox of the media will persist and fuel the new cycles even further.

What does this mean? It means people are angry, they’re suspicious, and they are increasingly distancing themselves from mainstream news. And judging by the tweet, it only means that this anger is not going away anytime soon.
