Episode notes
Media Bias Driven By Power Not Principles
- The left-leaning media opposes an American victory when it would benefit Donald Trump rather than because of consistent policy principles.
- Kurt Schlichter argues their motive is personal power, so coverage flips to hurt Trump's political standing even if it means preferring adversaries to succeed.

- Political opponents act inconsistently because short-term personal power motives beat ideological consistency.
- Kurt Schlichter explains critics will flip positions (pro/anti-war) as needed to maximize immediate political gain.

- Kurt Schlichter draws on his trial-law experience to show expert testimony is partisan theater, not objective truth.
