Pro-Trump narrative

The New York Times has crossed the line from journalism into partisan activism, functioning as nothing more than a campaign arm for the Democratic Party. Their unprecedented front-page endorsement of Kamala Harris represents the largest illegal campaign contribution in history, violating basic journalistic standards. Decades of false reporting and malicious smears against Trump, his family, and the MAGA movement demand accountability through the courts.

Anti-Trump narrative

Trump's lawsuit represents another attempt to weaponize the legal system against legitimate journalism and suppress press freedom through intimidation tactics. The reporting on the Epstein documents follows standard journalistic practices, presenting factual information that criminal investigators reviewed in building cases against Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. Media outlets have a constitutional duty to report on matters of public interest involving elected officials.
