Editor,
Credit to the “right” as it has become apparent there isn’t a one-sided argument they can’t win. Today, Scott Abramson relies on the old, tattered, MAGA playbook, to question Trump critics predicated on their media sources. His concerns highlighting truthfulness, deceit, lies, falsity, cheap-fakes and a multitude of Democrat conspiracies to lie to the American people is troubling, if not amusing.
He disqualifies himself as, clearly, he can’t even identify the thousands of lies that are directed at him by his favorite, self-declared king. In his defense, maybe he is confused as Trump doesn’t need to conspire, instead having streamlined the process by lying directly to his face.
I’d like to offer Mr. Abramson some consolation as he has accurately listed many liberal media sources but, curiously, doesn’t offer any right-wing, conservative sources. Be assured, liberals rely on those media sources, not to “script” our narrative but to observe video and documented evidence of the current administration’s unethical, immoral, criminal and unconstitutional activities that are hiding in plain sight. I might even agree that “Sleepy Joe” was not “fit as a fiddle” but, truth be told, his guy appears to be a “can barely stand-up stringed bass,” not so shy about catching a few public naps.
So, Mr. Abramson, for “one-sided argument’s sake,” let’s level the playing field. I challenge you to list your reliable, credible, right-wing, media sources and to address the specific malfeasance committed by your “grift, not gift, that keeps on taking, not giving,” Donald J. Trump.

Nice try Cory - this is like asking a bank robber why he is robbing a bank and why a criminal is burgling. All one has to do is refute whatever the left media has put on for our consumption and believe just the opposite. That is your answer.
Nice try Dirk. Trump is robbing our nation's banks and telling us he has a right to do it! But, please, Dirk, tell us your conservative sources for which you rely for the truth. We need some laughs today.
Personally I don't use either left or right leaning news media to form my opinions, I use my actual eyes and ears and go directly to the source if possible. For example, I knew of Biden's cognitive decline for years not because Fox news told me (I don't watch any TV news) but because I saw many clips of him rambling and stumbling through speeches, talking to ghosts, failing to engage with the press, etc.
During COVID instead of outsourcing my brain to "experts" like Fauci ("Don't wear a mask... wear a mask... 2 year olds should wear cloth masks... wear 2 masks") I looked for data and science that would support (or not) what public health was ordering us to do (in the case of community masking there were no RCTs to support it and what was put out by the CDC was ridiculous junk science.)
When it comes to Trump I listen to his speeches and interviews (and those of his appointees) and draw my own conclusions about what he is saying, not a right or left interpretation of his remarks.
This is easy to do in the internet age- no one has to rely on any particular news source to acquire real information.
Thanks for your letter, Cory, and nice try. To follow Mr. van Ulden’s lead, allow me to direct you to a link which basically highlights news sources you should not trust, and why (https://www.whitehouse.gov/articles/2025/04/100-days-of-hoaxes-cutting-through-the-fake-news/). Perhaps, as I recommended to Mr. Sinks the other day, you should expand your sources to include FOX, OneAmerica, Newsmax, Breitbart to get away from liberal and biased media sources who feed their gullible readers deceit, lies, falsity, cheap-fakes and multitudes of Democrat conspiracies. Have a Trump-tastic day!
