Summary
The following is a scathing critique of mainstream media priorities while exposing the devastating healthcare consequences of Trump’s “big beautiful bill.” Media outlets obsess over sensational stories like the Epstein saga and isolated gun violence incidents in major cities while ignoring systematic healthcare cuts that will harm millions of Americans, particularly the rural white voters who supported Trump.
Media Malpractice : Mainstream outlets provide wall-to-wall coverage of single violent incidents in New York while ignoring multiple simultaneous shootings in Detroit, Reno, and Atlanta, revealing their geographic and class biases in news selection.

Betrayal of Base: The legislation’s cruelest irony lies in how it systematically harms the rural, white, working-class voters who elected Trump, stripping away their Medicaid coverage, Medicare benefits, and healthcare exchange subsidies while enriching the wealthy through tax cuts.
The video reveals a profound disconnect between media spectacle and policy substance, where entertainment value trumps the life-and-death consequences of healthcare legislation.
