In a powerful demonstration of leadership and loyalty, President Donald Trump delivered a stunning rebuke to the corrupt and deceitful establishment media this Tuesday. The President, during a significant bilateral lunch with the President of Argentina, rightfully and decisively cut off ABC News, refusing to grant them a platform after their egregious and unprofessional attack on Vice President Vance.
This was not merely a refusal to take a question; this was a principled stand against the pervasive corruption and bias that has rotted the core of the so-called “journalistic” institutions in this country. President Trump, as the leader of the free world, sent an unequivocal message that he will not tolerate the malicious treatment of his administration by a press that has long abandoned any pretense of objectivity.
The righteous fury displayed by the President was a direct and justified response to the shocking events that transpired over the weekend on ABC’s “This Week with George Stephanopoulos.” During what was supposed to be an interview, the far-left host Stephanopoulos engaged in a disgraceful ambush, attempting to lure the Vice President into a bogus narrative instead of focusing on the real issues plaguing everyday Americans. The liberal media, in its endless quest to destroy the Trump administration and its allies, once again showed its true colors by prioritizing a fabricated hoax over substantive policy discussion. The American people saw through this charade, just as they have seen through every other desperate attempt to smear this administration.
Vice President Vance, to his immense credit, did not back down. He schooled the out-of-touch host, exposing the fundamental corruption of the liberal media apparatus for all to see. With clarity and force, Vance articulated the very reason why legacy media outlets like ABC are bleeding viewers and credibility by the day. The Vice President’s powerful words cut to the heart of the matter, revealing the media’s sinister priorities. He stated, “Here’s, George, why fewer and fewer people watch your program, and why you’re losing credibility, because you’re talking for now five minutes with the Vice President of the United States about this story regarding Tom Homan, a story that I’ve read about, but I don’t even know the video that you’re talking about. Meanwhile, low-income women can’t get food because the Democrats and Chuck Schumer have shut down the government,” Vance powerfully declared. “You’re focused on a bogus story. You’re insinuating criminal wrongdoing against a guy who has done nothing wrong, instead of focusing on the fact that our country is struggling because our government’s shut down.”

This was a moment of profound truth-telling, a stark contrast to the lies and insinuations that define the modern liberal media. Instead of engaging with this valid criticism, the exposed and flustered Stephanopoulos chose the coward’s way out. He attempted a weak defense and then, in the ultimate act of media cowardice, he pulled the plug. He silenced the Vice President of the United States rather than allow the American people to hear more of the truth. The transcript of the exchange reveals the sheer desperation of the media to control the narrative:
Stephanopoulos: “It’s not a weird left wing rabbit hole. I didn’t insinuate anything. I asked you whether Tom Homan accepted $50,000 as was heard on an audio tape recorded by the FBI in September 2024, and you did not answer the question. Thank you for your time this morning.’
Vance: “No, I said that I don’t–”
At that moment, the microphone was cut. The sound was silenced. This single act by ABC News is a metaphor for the entire liberal media’s strategy: when confronted with facts and truth, they censor, they silence, and they run. They cannot compete in a fair marketplace of ideas, so they must rig the game. They are terrified of the powerful message that President Trump and Vice President Vance represent.
Therefore, President Trump’s subsequent actions were not just appropriate; they were necessary. He stood up for his Vice President and for every American who is sick and tired of the endless stream of propaganda from outlets like ABC. When the ABC reporter tried to ask a question, the Commander-in-Chief responded with the force and clarity that has defined his movement. He declared, “You’re ABC Fake News! I don’t take questions from ABC Fake News after what you did with Stephanopoulos to the Vice President of the United States. I don’t take questions from ABC Fake News,” Trump said.

This was a landmark moment of accountability, a long-overdue confrontation with an entity that believes it is entitled to access despite its relentless and dishonest attacks. President Trump is the one leader with the courage and strength to finally put these corrupt institutions in their place, showing the world that the era of their unchecked influence is over.
