Yep the hysteria before the election about what trump would try to do to them. Because they knew a lot of it was politically motivated and not legit. They knew how crazy it was to go down that path and worried it could happen to them.
Trumps about doing business though and making America great again. He knows that it’s the better option to just let go all those involved in that and start again. Running a big witch-hunt through court system like other lot did is just expensive and time consuming distraction for zero return.
And the ending of USAID is torpedoing a lot of the previous shenanigans. We thought it was bad Jacinda gave press 50 million to get them inside. Biden gave USA media outlets 50 billion through usaid. One of them mysteriously can’t pay its workers now despite previously appearing as a solid organisation.

“It turns out the Non-Government Organizations were really The Government
The word for that is GONGO — a government organised non-government organization — at once, an impossible thing and also a tautology.
Hands up who is still reeling with the news that USAID had 50 thousand million dollars of political and media influence? The annual budget of $50 billion dollars in the hands of unaccountable activist NGOs buys a lot of “journalists”, editors and teenage protestors. Suddenly a lot of odd repeated patterns around the world make more sense. Why were all governments suddenly worried about disinformation, or the rights of…
Today we found out that news outlets like Politico, and the New York Times were being given millions of dollars from the US government.
Benny Johnson says:
This is the biggest scandal in news media history: No employee at Politico got paid yesterday. First time ever the company missed a pay period. This is a crisis. Now we learn Politico — a “news company” — which spent the last 10 years trying to destroy the MAGA Movement was being massively funded by USAID.
It seems some $27 million dollars went to Politico during the Biden years — and that’s just the subscriptions (not the USAID). Truly, Politico charges as much as $10,000 for a single “Politico Pro” subscription — and so the taxpayers fork out big bucks to pay for politicians “work expenses”, and the money ends up covering the salaries of journalists who are working hard to deceive the hapless taxpayers.
As ZeroHedge reminds us, Politico went in hard in the 2020 election to cover for the Hunter Biden laptop from hell.
They also point out that the Blob has many other ways to keep newspapers toeing the line…
It’s not just the subscriptions: there are huge “ad contracts”, dinner parties DC throws itself under the guise of “media conferences”, sponsorships, etc all paid for by taxpayers. Once done with Politico look at its spawn Axios, founded by Politico veterans”
