John Ziegler blamed right-wing media for revitalizing the Russiagate scandal, citing a dramatic change in media integrity since 2017. He discussed accusations against the Trump administration, particularly regarding claims from Tulsi Gabbard about Obama instigating a coup through investigations into Russian election interference. Ziegler noted that the credibility of mainstream media has diminished significantly, especially among the right. Reports that would have been credible in the past, like those from The New York Times, are now largely discounted, demonstrating the shift in perception within conservative circles.
Ziegler emphasized that media integrity has collapsed, explaining that the right-wing media environment has drastically changed since 2017, leading to a loss of credibility for mainstream outlets.
He pointed out that in 2017 and 2018, mainstream news media still held credibility among the right, but that this has fundamentally shifted.
Ziegler noted that reports, such as a New York Times piece on emails from disinformation campaigns, would have been respected in past years but are now viewed with skepticism.
He concluded that the current media landscape has resulted in a situation where even credible sources are dismissed by the MAGA base.
