‘The Office’ Star RIPS MSNBC Host When She Blames Trump & Musk For Distrust in Media

100 Percent Fed Up
Hits: 13

American’s trust in mass media is at an all-time low as we speak, with only 31% saying that they have a “fair amount” or “great deal” of confidence in the what the news tells them.

In a recent episode of her podcast Soul Boom, MSNBC host Stephanie Ruhle had the audacity to blame President Trump and Elon Musk for the plunge in media trust.

However, Ruhle’s guest on the episode, actor Rainn Wilson — who is best known for playing the character Dwight on The Office — wasn’t having it.

He pushed back against Ruhle, pointing out how “left-leaning news media organizations” ignored huge problems like immigration and the economy during Biden’s administration.

Watch here:

NEW: ‘The Office’ star Rainn Wilson claps back after MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle claims Elon Musk and Donald Trump are responsible for the public distrust of the mainstream media.

Wilson: “40% of Americans don’t trust mainstream media. Why is that? How did we get here?”

Ruhle: “Trump won and tons of people were shocked or angry or frustrated and they’re tuning out. At the same time, you have the Elon Musk media machine because they want you to leave traditional media and they want you to go to X.”

Wilson: “This is where I would push back… left-leaning news media organizations were kind of like, ‘La, la, la, la, la, Everything’s fine… look, the economy’s great. La, la, la. Immigration’s not that much of a problem,’ and really, being Cleopatra, Queen of Denial.”

Fox News commented:

“The Office” star Rainn Wilson pushed back on MSNBC host Stephanie Ruhle for suggesting that President Donald Trump’s win and Elon Musk’s “media machine” were to blame for overall distrust in the press.

“President Trump won and tons of people were shocked or angry or frustrated and they’re tuning out, and at the same time, you have the Elon Musk media machine, because they want you to leave traditional media, they want you to go to X, which is a bastion of misinformation,” Ruhle said during an appearance on Wilson’s “Soul Boom” podcast released on April 17.

“What we need to do is just cover what’s happening in America, right? We have to cover Democrats trying to figure out what their lane is and how they’re going to get back on their feet, and we have to simply cover what this White House is doing.”

However, Wilson suggested there was a lack of interest among left-leaning media to aggressively cover problems during the Biden administration.

“This is where I would push back, when I see this kind of insight and passion being directed at the current administration and the lack of this kind of insight and passion being directed at the previous administration, where again, I’m not talking about you, I’m talking about left-leaning news media organizations were kind of like, ‘La la la la, everything’s fine,’” Wilson told Ruhle in a clip flagged by The Daily Caller.

“‘Look, the economy is great, la la la, immigration’s not that much of a problem,’ and really being Cleopatra, ‘queen of denial.’ Thank you. Boom,” he said, imitating left-leaning media.

Wilson’s response is hilarious and spot-on, for many reasons.

For one, Stephanie Ruhle is a big part of the problem.

She admitted in December that Biden’s handlers tried to shut down her interview with Joe over a question about Hunter.

The Daily Caller noted:

Former NBC News chief political analyst Chuck Todd said on “Piers Morgan Uncensored” on April 9 that legacy media members withheld blatant coverage of Biden’s age-related problem to avoid the appearance of “helping Trump.”

Ruhle publicly disclosed for the first time in December that Biden’s team attempted to shut down an interview over her question about how a possible indictment of his son Hunter would affect his presidency.

She also defended former Vice President Kamala Harris in September for her failure to provide detailed answers on policy queries. Ruhle cited the “threat” that she claimed Trump posed to democracy.

The fact that Rainn Wilson called her, and the rest of the left-wind media, out, to her face, is just epic.

Now, keep in mind that Rainn Wilson is not a Trump supporter himself.

But, even liberals can see how the mainstream media dug their own grave over the previous administration.

It’s just simple common sense.
