Alternative Media and Its Role in Supporting Trump
In recent years, alternative media has become a significant source of information for many people. This includes blogs, YouTube channels, and social media platforms. These sources often provide a different perspective compared to traditional media outlets, which some believe are aligned with the so-called "Deep State."
Many alternative media platforms showed strong support for Donald Trump during his presidential campaign and time in office. These platforms often highlighted stories and viewpoints that mainstream media ignored or downplayed. For instance, they focused on Trump’s promises about draining the swamp, reducing taxes, and improving the economy. Supporters enjoyed this kind of coverage, feeling it matched their beliefs and values.
As Trump gained popularity, many alternative media outlets grew alongside him. YouTubers and bloggers saw a surge in viewers and readers, helping spread Trump's message to a wider audience. This created a sense of community among his supporters who felt united against what they saw as biased reporting from traditional news. Alternative media gave voice to the frustrations of many Americans who felt overlooked by major news networks. That is, of course, if the Deep State didn't block them on YouTube, remove them from X or hacked their media site.
Now that Trump is getting into office, some in alternative media are gloating. They often point to the struggles of traditional media to maintain their audience. With declining viewership and trust, many traditional news outlets are facing challenges. Alternative media folks are quick to highlight this, boasting about how their platforms have remained popular and credible in the eyes of their followers.

A few weeks back Jeff Bezos very controversially decided that his paper, the Washington Post, will not endorse any presidential candidate in 2024 race. In the end he wrote a very insightful op-ed explaining his decision, and in there he admitted that traditional media are not particularly trusted...
"In the annual public surveys about trust and reputation, journalists and the media have regularly fallen near the very bottom, often just above Congress. But in this year’s Gallup poll, we have managed to fall below Congress. Our profession is now the least trusted of all. Something we are doing is clearly not working."
