Once again, the mainstream media has been caught red-handed pushing false narratives to undermine the economic successes of President Donald Trump’s administration. During a recent interview on ABC’s This Week, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent called out the media’s blatant misinformation campaign regarding April’s stock market performance.
Bessent pointed out the glaring hypocrisy:
“When I look at some of the things that are being published, there was a story 10 days ago that said, ‘This is the worst April for the stock market since the Great Depression.’ Ten days later, the Nasdaq is now up in the month of April, and I haven’t seen a story that says, ‘Oh, stock market has biggest bounce back ever.’”
The facts speak for themselves. On March 31, 2025, the NASDAQ closed at 19,278. By April 25, it had risen to 19,432—a clear increase despite the relentless fearmongering from the liberal media. This remarkable recovery should have been front-page news, but instead, outlets like ABC buried the truth in favor of their preferred doom-and-gloom narrative.
Martha Raddatz’s response? A weak deflection:
“It certainly has gone back and forth.”
No, Martha—that’s not an accurate description of what happened. The market didn’t just “go back and forth”; it grew, defying the media’s dire predictions. This is yet another example of how the so-called “journalists” at mainstream outlets like ABC would rather dismiss facts than admit they were wrong. Their agenda is clear: undermine confidence in the economy to damage President Trump’s record of success.
The American people are tired of being lied to. Under President Trump’s leadership, the economy has thrived, jobs have surged, and the stock market has repeatedly shattered records. Yet the liberal media refuses to give credit where it’s due. Instead, they fabricate crises, ignore recoveries, and gaslight the public with half-truths.

This isn’t journalism—it’s propaganda.
The same outlets that spent years pushing Russia collusion hoaxes, COVID hysteria, and recession fearmongering are now desperately trying to downplay yet another Trump-era economic win. But the numbers don’t lie. While the media obsesses over negativity, hardworking Americans are benefiting from strong markets, rising wages, and pro-growth policies.
