So, the U.S. president has decided to impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz. This is a blatant move that will impact economies globally, yet corporate media are treating it like a footnote in a boring history book. CNN and MSNBC are tiptoeing around the implications, framing it as a mere “trade maneuver,” while ignoring the fact that it’s a power play that could destabilize global markets. Where’s the outrage over potential inflation this could spark? Instead, we get a casual dismissal.

Meanwhile, Fox News, in their usual style, might turn this into a “patriotic” move, portraying it as a strong stance against perceived threats. But here’s the real kicker: this narrative ignores the consequences for American consumers. Grocery prices are already skyrocketing, yet they’ll cheer on a decision that could make it even worse. Why? Because corporate media is cozy with the establishment, and truth be damned!

The lines have been drawn: one side sings praises of strength in the face of adversity, the other tiptoes around the fallout. It’s a script that’s tired and predictable, playing into the hands of those who benefit from chaos—and it’s not you and me. The real question remains: why aren’t we hearing from the economists and experts who actually understand the broader impacts? Don’t hold your breath waiting for them to break through the noise.
