If you thought our mainstream media landscape couldn’t sink any lower, think again. A recent survey from a U.S. think tank revealed that there’s reportedly “more confidence” in Xi Jinping than in Donald Trump. Let that sink in for a minute. While outlets like CNN and MSNBC scramble to cook up narratives that vilify Trump at every turn, they give unfettered editorial passes to leaders like Xi, who hasn’t exactly built a reputation for being a bastion of democratic values.

The irony is rich: Trump’s bombastic style and “America First” mentality have rendered him public enemy number one among the political elite and their sycophantic media. Meanwhile, Xi’s regime, which systematically opposes everything Trump claimed to stand against—the erosion of freedoms, human rights abuses, and authoritarianism—is celebrated in the shadows by the same networks that feign outrage over Trump’s rhetoric.

This isn’t just media ineptitude; it’s orchestration. ABC News and The New York Times are playing a dangerous game by implicitly elevating the image of the Communist Party leader while dismissing American leadership as outdated and undesirable. They forget one crucial detail: Trump was elected by the American people, while Xi’s grip on power comes from indoctrination and oppression.

To the establishment, it seems the enemy of my enemy is my friend, even if that “friend” is an authoritarian dictator. It’s clear we need to wake up and demand accountability from those who claim to inform the public. Confidence in Xi? That’s a dangerous joke that the corporate media can no longer afford to make.
