The Gutfeld! Panel Dissects Media Bias and Trump's Growing Diversity Support

In a recent episode of 'Gutfeld!', Fox News host Greg Gutfeld and his panel discussed The Washington Post's stance in the 2024 race and examined former President Trump’s rally at Madison Square Garden. Trump is currently leading in many polls. There's a notable shift as more Hispanics are expressing interest in voting Republican, and the Jewish vote leans Republican in numbers not seen since the Reagan era. Trump, often harshly criticized, ironically finds growing support in diverse communities.

Gutfeld highlighted how some conservatives are losing credibility or exposing inconsistencies. A prime example he offers is Jennifer Rubin, a Washington Post columnist labeled as conservative. Her history as a labor lawyer paints a different political picture. Rubin's recent comments on MSNBC criticized Trump’s coherence, accusing him of undermining democracy. However, Gutfeld points out discrepancies in her stance, especially regarding endorsements, noting her support for L.A. Times editors who resigned over non-endorsement of Kamala Harris.

Interestingly, Rubin's own employer, The Washington Post, hasn't endorsed a 2024 candidate either, though she's criticized others for similar refusals. Her failure to resign, despite her public objection to others, calls into question her authenticity and principles. Gutfeld argues that Trump forces individuals to reveal their true affiliations and motivations, highlighting a broader media bias.

Brian Stelter of CNN introduced the concept of 'anticipatory obedience', suggesting that media might preemptively support Trump in fear of his influence. Gutfeld mocks this idea humorously, using hyperbole to critique such perspectives. Meanwhile, Trump remains highly active, partaking in extensive media engagements like a long interview with Joe Rogan, something Gutfeld notes would challenge other politicians like Joe Biden or Kamala Harris.

Trump’s rally in Manhattan had a surprisingly positive atmosphere, countering the negative narratives often associated with his events. Gutfeld concludes by asserting that the so-called 'Trump effect' continues to reveal the true nature of individuals and institutions, creating a political climate where transparency and authenticity are increasingly demanded.
