The mainstream media's credibility crisis just got more embarrassing. A Washington Examiner TV critic thought he was impressing someone by bragging about his job, only to get knocked down to size when his new acquaintance delivered a brutal reality check: "There is much to criticize!"
Talk about a moment of truth. Here's a media insider trying to flex his supposed expertise, and regular Americans can see right through the garbage that passes for television journalism these days.
This awkward exchange perfectly captures where we are in 2026. The legacy media spent years lying to the American people about everything from Hunter Biden's laptop to the Russia hoax, and now even casual observers know the industry is rotten to the core.
Remember when these same TV critics spent four years attacking President Trump with non-stop negative coverage, then tried to memory-hole the Biden administration's disasters? Patriots didn't forget. We watched them cover up inflation, the border crisis, and foreign policy failures while pretending to be objective journalists.
The Great Media Awakening
What makes this story so delicious is the critic's reaction - his "boast spun around like a boomerang and knocked my teeth out." That's exactly what's happening to the entire mainstream media complex under Trump's second term.
While real Americans were finding truth through alternative media, independent journalists, and platforms that don't censor conservative voices, the establishment press kept doubling down on their failed narratives. Now they're facing a "time for choosing" - adapt to reality or become completely irrelevant.
"There is much to criticize!" - What every American thinks when they see mainstream media
The Trump-Vance administration's success is making it even harder for these media critics to maintain their pretense of authority. How do you criticize a president who's actually delivering on his promises while your industry has zero credibility left?
This moment of honesty from a random person should be a wake-up call for every media professional still living in their bubble. The American people see through your bias, your selective reporting, and your desperate attempts to stay relevant.
Maybe it's time for these TV critics to start criticizing the right targets - like the networks that spent years lying to their audiences instead of serving the truth.
