(PCC)The legacy media has become a home for desperation, and now the consequences are being felt! Media desperation hits a new low as the DOJ moves to protect America from media combatants, and it looks like criminality may be on the menu.
As the mainstream media’s attacks on President Trump grow increasingly reckless and desperate, a new battle is unfolding between the Justice Department and the powerful institutions that once styled themselves as the guardians of truth.
Attorney General Pam Bondi announced a critical return to law and order this week, reinstating the Justice Department’s ability to subpoena journalists and seize records during leak investigations. This move reverses the Biden-era handcuffs placed on prosecutors, which had essentially given the media carte blanche to peddle unauthorized leaks and even fake news without accountability. Now the establishment media has cooked up a new bag of dirty tricks.
Under Bondi’s directive, prosecutors will once again have the authority to use subpoenas, court orders, and search warrants against those who violate their oaths by feeding sensitive information to a hostile press. While press freedom groups predictably shriek about “free flow of information,” the reality is simpler: unauthorized leaks and planted fake news are crimes that endanger national security and sabotage the American people’s elected government.
The establishment media, furious that their hidden channels into government agencies are being cut off, have turned increasingly toward sensationalism, distortion, and outright fabrication. As the Trump administration tries to repair the damage left by years of deep state sabotage and media collusion, outlets like The New York Times, CNN, and The Washington Post are ramping up their smear campaigns, desperate to cling to the leakers who fueled their anti-Trump narratives.
Bondi’s policy makes clear that news organizations will still be afforded advance notice in most cases and that subpoenas must be narrowly tailored, a nod to the legitimate role of the free press. But there will be no more blanket immunity for journalists who knowingly traffic in classified and fake material.
This move comes as the administration faces a wave of leaks, many of them targeting senior officials like Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard. Gabbard recently made criminal referrals for the leakers, a sign that the Trump team is no longer willing to play defense while the media undermines the government from within.
Meanwhile, the same media screaming about “press freedom” has ignored their own hypocrisy: National Security Adviser Michael Waltz and others have faced unfair scrutiny for minor slip-ups, while deliberate, calculated leaks designed to cripple U.S. policy go unchecked.
Let’s be clear: this is not about silencing the press. This initiative is about restoring the basic principle that no one, not bureaucrats, not journalists, is above the law. If the media wants to regain the public’s trust, they might start by reporting the facts instead of acting as a hostile opposition party.
The Justice Department’s return to responsible oversight is not an attack on journalism; it is a long-overdue defense of the republic against those who would tear it down from within.
Final Word: Will the establishment media repent and turn from their evil ways or double down and claim they are the helpless victims?
