Today, I’m forced to offer a correction. I don’t normally do so, but in discussing the media’s deliberately misleading coverage of the terror attack in New York City on Saturday, I made an egregious mistake. I described CBS News as perhaps the worst offender, out of every media organization that lied to the public about what happened. But as bad as CBS’ coverage was, my statement simply wasn’t accurate.
The truth is that no single outlet was more committed to lying about the terrorist attack than CNN, which aired the following analysis from CNN’s Abby Phillip last night. This is one of those clips that seems like it can’t possibly be real, but it is.
Watch:
CNN’s Abby Phillip claims that the attempted NYC bombing was “an attempted terror attack against New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani.”

The bombing was, “an attempted terror attack against New York’s Mayor Zohran Mamdani,” according to CNN’s Abby Phillip. Well, there it is. It’s completely false — the total inverse of the truth, concerning a major news story that took place more than 48 hours earlier — and she delivers it live, on-air.
Of course, this false narrative is precisely what every news outlet — including CNN — has been trying to suggest for the past 48 hours. They’ve desperately been trying to confuse the public into believing this lie. They know that two Muslim terrorists tried to murder conservative activist Jake Lang, as well as several police officers, in the name of ISIS and global jihad. But as we’ve discussed, the media has been reporting the story in a way that suggests Mamdani was somehow targeted by “anti-Islam demonstrators,” because the attack occurred near his official residence. And now Abby Phillip comes out and repeats the same lie that CNN has been spreading all day — except she’s even more direct about it.
Earlier in the day, on their official accounts, CNN posted the following text on X, as well as their website (in the form of an article).
Here’s what CNN wrote.
Source: @CNN
It reads: “Two Pennsylvania teenagers crossed into New York City Saturday morning for what could’ve been a normal day enjoying the city during abnormally warm weather. But in less than an hour, their lives would drastically change as the pair would be arrested for throwing homemade bombs during an anti-Muslim protest outside of Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s home.”
Notice how the propaganda works. Instead of Muslim terrorists whose parents came here from Afghanistan and Turkey, they’re “Pennsylvania teenagers” who “could’ve been enjoying the city” during the nice weather. And these “Pennsylvania teenagers” don’t actually do anything. Instead, things happen to them. They get arrested. Their lives “change.” And we’re told that the incident occurred “during an anti-Muslim protest,” which suggests that the anti-Muslim protesters were responsible for the bombing. (That’s apparently how Abby Phillip understood the story.)
That CNN article was written by two authors, both of them women. One of them went to UC Berkeley and Columbia Journalism School, where the yearly cost of attendance is well over $100,000. She uses “they/them” pronouns and identifies as nonbinary. The other author is a Spanish-speaking Colombian immigrant to the United States who holds an undergraduate journalism degree.
What’s important to understand about this propaganda — and why I’m opening with it — is that virtually every single mainstream media outlet is trying to do the same thing. The mistake that CNN made, in this case, was being too obvious about it. But if you pay enough attention, you’ll find that journalists are paid to obscure relevant information, to the extent that the information might lead you to draw some unapproved conclusions. If you draw those unapproved conclusions, then your life might actually get better. The quality of life in this country might improve, instead of continuing its steady, managed decline.
Consider what’s happening to air travel right now in the United States. If you’ve been on a plane lately, you know it’s as bad as it’s ever been. And now, in the wake of the DHS shutdown, things are starting to fall apart. But the media, as always, isn’t interested in providing all of the necessary context.
Here’s a report that just aired on NBC News on the topic.
See if you can spot what’s missing:
Lines are snaking “all the way out the parking garage” at airports in Houston, and New Orleans due to TSA staffing disruptions as a result of the Democrat shutdown of @DHSgov.

So TSA wait times are now insanely long at three specific airports: Atlanta, Houston-Hobby, and New Orleans.
It’s a total breakdown, as you can see.

According to local reports, wait times are up to 2 hours, and delays could continue through this week.

They’re telling passengers to get to the airport several hours early, and the TSA line is so long it snakes into the parking garage. The reason that all of this is happening, according to NBC News, is that Democrats are refusing to fund DHS. You see, Democrats are upset that two Left-wing agitators were killed while assaulting and interfering with federal law enforcement officers, so they’re not paying for TSA anymore. And Republicans aren’t willing to compromise at the moment, so therefore, you get long delays.
But as an explanation for what’s happening, again, that’s an incomplete analysis. And it’s incomplete on purpose. You also have to ask yourself this question: Why exactly is the crisis only affecting three airports, all of them located in the American South? The TSA is a national federal agency. None of these officers, anywhere in the country, are getting paid right now. So why isn’t every single airport in every city in the United States experiencing a similar meltdown? Why aren’t lines going to the parking garage in Maine or Vermont?
If you look a little deeper, you’ll discover that TSA agents in the South are calling in sick in response to the funding lapse. That’s the reason for these delays. In other words, the TSA agents in these particular airports are committing fraud on the taxpayer. They know that, when the DHS is funded, they’ll receive back pay. But they don’t care. They’re going to take a vacation or work a side hustle, on false pretenses, because they see an opportunity to double dip. And for some unknown reason — which can’t possibly have anything to do with systemic corruption, or culture, or local hiring practices, or demographics, or anything at all — the vast majority of TSA agents who are committing this fraud happen to be located in three major urban centers in the southern United States.
Just a couple of weeks ago, we talked about the unprecedented amount of sewage that was flowing onto D.C.’s streets, as the local water board celebrated its “diversity.” Is something similar happening with the TSA in Houston, New Orleans, and Atlanta? Whatever the case, we need to know why so many of these TSA agents are concentrated at these particular airports, and why they aren’t getting fired — or even punished — for committing a very flagrant fraud.
But no one at NBC News will ever investigate those questions, and we all know why. They’re afraid of what they’d discover. Above all, the media’s objective is to prevent you from realizing that decline is a choice. All of the daily indignities that we put up with are, in fact, optional. And we know that because, not too long ago, we didn’t indulge the laziness and the corruption of the worst among us.
In an upcoming episode of “Real History,” we’re going to talk at some length about the book “The Age of Entitlement,” by Christopher Caldwell. Among other things, it describes many of the ways that society has floundered ever since the Civil Rights Era. It turns out that, when you usher in a wave of anti-white racism at every level of society, things start to break. And they break in ways that many people don’t even realize.
Here’s just a couple of examples from the book.
By the 2016 presidential election, the quickest flights from New York to London took 6 hours and 40 minutes, almost three quarters of an hour longer than they had taken during the Nixon administration. The train trip from New York to Washington DC — a mere 2 hours and 15 minutes when the Beatles made it on their first American tour in 1964 — now took half an hour longer on the very fastest trains.
It’s hard to believe, but it’s true. Travel, by air and by train, has become much slower than it was during the 1960s. There are more passengers and more delays, and the infrastructure has degraded. Meanwhile, airlines decided that flying slower would save on fuel, which is the main reason they stopped making the Concorde.
Of course, you could pick many other metrics where we’ve declined — from crime rates to fertility rates to literacy rates and so on. But air travel is worth focusing on, because it’s a relatively expensive way to travel. It’s supposed to be the crown jewel of American transportation. If air travel has gotten much worse, then it stands to reason that you probably don’t want to use the local subway system, or take a Greyhound through the Midwest. So what exactly has gone wrong here?
To answer that question, you need to recognize that air travel used to look very different compared to how it looks today. For one thing, the security lines didn’t stretch to the parking lot. And being a stewardess was considered a glamorous and desirable job, and passengers weren’t packed together like cattle in the smallest possible seats.
Take a look at this Coke/TWA ad from 1967, which gives you some idea.

Being a flight attendant presented as an exciting and demanding job, where she gets to travel the world and meet interesting, well-behaved passengers. There are only two seats per aisle. Everyone has tons of room. The passengers are all smiling as they receive “hot meals.” Tickets were more expensive than they are now, but in return, the experience was about ten times more civilized.

The simple explanation for why domestic air travel is now unrecognizable is that, over the past 60 years, air travel has become much cheaper. So customers have made the choice to spend less money, in exchange for worse service and a smaller seat. Today, if you shop around and buy early, you can get a cross-country plane ticket for around $300. In the 1960s, accounting for inflation, you probably would’ve spent over $1,000 for the same ticket.
But the issue isn’t simply that customers are paying less for worse service. The main reason air travel is so unpleasant is that the low prices attract passengers like this — who lower the quality of air travel for everyone in the terminal.

Yes, you heard that correctly. The guy is thrown off his Spirit Airlines flight. An officer arrives and finds that he’s very agitated, so he tells him to sit down. And in response, the guy tells the officer that he’s racist for making that request.
This is what the Rosa Parks mythology has become. It’s gone from “It was racist to tell Rosa Parks to give up her seat for a white person,” to “It’s racist to tell any black person to take a seat, ever, for any reason.” And then the situation escalates until it’s a brawl in the terminal.
These kinds of “seat disputes” are extremely common on Spirit Airlines, as it turns out.
This is one of the more remarkable ones. A woman claims that she’s entitled to a middle-seat in the 13th row, and she shows the officers her Spirit Airlines app to confirm her seat assignment. But then the officer notices that the woman is actually showing them a screenshot of the app — and possibly manipulated it. And then he informs her that, according to her ticket, she needs to move to another seat.
Here’s how that went:
Source: Unspoken Crime Murders/YouTube.com
Put aside whether or not the woman actually faked a screenshot with her boarding assignment. That would be hilarious, but really, the footage is hilarious anyway. The remarkable thing is that she’s going to jail, and forcing every passenger to deplane, and potentially faked her boarding pass, over a middle seat. So either she’s really passionate about having one of the worst seats on the plane, or she really wanted to miss that “funeral” she claimed she had to get to. Either way, she’s obviously irrational and entitled and annoying.
When passengers like this flood airports every day — and when the FAA awards massive airport contracts on the basis of “racial equity” — then everything gets worse. Here’s a great example — the so-called “Jetway Jesus” phenomenon.

The federal law was passed during a time when America was a “high trust” society. It didn’t occur to Congress, or the airlines, that passengers would lie about a disability, in order to get priority access to their seat. But that’s exactly what’s happening. We have imported tens of millions of people who have no regard for our culture, our way of life, or basic rules.
And this is the result.

Take a look at that picture from the Wall Street Journal. The caption reads, “There were 25 wheelchair passengers on a recent flight out of Guadalajara’s airport.” Think about that. Twenty-five wheelchair passengers on one flight. Unless it’s a plane headed for the Special Olympics, that doesn’t check out.
Neither does this flight.

The reason airlines tolerate this kind of obvious fraud is that, if they try to enforce the rules, then they’ll be sued into the ground.
That’s an inevitable result of civil rights law. Under the regime of “disparate impact,” if you do anything that has a disproportionate effect on non-white people, then you’ve broken the law. And we all know that, if airlines cracked down on these wheelchair fraudsters, they’d be punishing an awful lot of non-white people. And that’s not allowed anymore.
American Airlines learned this lesson the hard way a couple of years ago. A flight attendant claimed that eight passengers had a “foul odor,” and had to exit the aircraft. That led to this viral video, massive nationwide outrage, and a lawsuit that American Airlines settled.

They keep saying “this ain’t random” and “I paid for my ticket,” none of which is relevant, or in dispute. No, it’s not random. And yes, you paid for your ticket. But that’s irrelevant to the question of whether you smell really, really bad — so bad that you need to be removed from an airplane.
There’s two possibilities here. Either the American Airlines flight attendant is a raging white supremacist, and he just fabricated the idea that these eight passengers were emitting a “foul odor” — which could mean anything from poor hygiene to marijuana use, or both. The flight attendant just decided one day to go full Nazi, on this one occasion — and only on this one occasion. Or, in the alternative, maybe these people did smell really bad. And maybe they happen to be black.
What you need to understand is that our legal system simply does not allow for that second possibility to be true. It’s extremely difficult, if not impossible, to proactively remove passengers before a flight, if those passengers are not white.
As a result, whatever airline you fly, you get passengers like this one:

Here’s another fight. It’s a 4-on-1 that ends relatively quickly.

The bottom line is that, whether you’re in the terminal, or the ticket area, or on the plane, you’re taking your chances on Spirit. That’s especially true now that they’re bankrupt, which raises the stakes significantly. In general, it’s probably not a good idea to fly a bankrupt airline, regardless of the quality of the passengers.
But to be clear, this isn’t simply a Spirit Airlines problem. You can see obvious signs of decline and cost-cutting on any major carrier.
Here’s the first-class meal that United Airlines recently served its high-paying passengers, for example:

It was a five-hour flight and they served the guy a whole tomato and a bunch of cubes. And he probably paid something like $400 extra for this. It’s legitimately embarrassing. Unless you fly on an international airline, or fly private, there is no amount of money you can spend that will provide anywhere near the airline experience that was available in the 1960s and 70s.
Particularly in cities where the foreign-born population has exploded in the past few decades — cities like Los Angeles, for example — it’s also become much harder to simply get to the airport.

LAX is apparently doing everyone a favor by doubling the fee for all Ubers, Lyfts, taxis, and limos in an attempt to ease traffic into the airport.

The fees are going up for the rideshare drivers, but don’t worry — that won’t be passed along to the consumers. Which, if true, would be quite remarkable. It would be the first time in the history of economics that a company decided not to pass on regulatory fees to the consumer.
At this point, when you go to the airport, the best-case scenario you can hope for is that you won’t witness a violent assault. And that’s becoming more and more difficult.
This is from Frontier Airlines, just last summer:
ABC News/X.com
Western airlines will see violence and decay like this, and they’ll conclude that their problem is white people. That’s not an exaggeration. That’s what they truly believe. This was the scene at Gatwick airport during a recent black history month for example. They celebrate, over the PA system, that no white people will be flying the plane or serving the drinks.

In Japan, taking a phone call on the bus is considered deeply offensive. You’re supposed to get off the bus, and everyone does it. That’s because Japan is a high-trust, homogenous society. It’s the kind of country that doesn’t have 30 people pretending to need a wheelchair before every flight.
Meanwhile in the United States, civil rights laws make those types of policies illegal. To their credit, United Airlines is going to try anyway. They just enacted a new policy where they kick you off the plane if you’re listening to music without headphones. Obviously, it’s sad that this even needs to be a policy. But it does appear that, as of now, United is indeed enforcing it.
But you have to wonder: How long until United gets sued for racial discrimination? What if they kick a bunch of black people off a plane, for failing to comply with this rule? We all know that’s coming. And we all know what would happen next. There would be a settlement. United would end its policy. And air travel, once again, would get worse for everyone.
That’s the trend we’ve been on, ever since the 1960s. We are a wealthier nation, but the lowest common denominator is dragging down air travel for everyone. And if air travel has gotten this bad, then we know trains and buses and light rails and subways are even worse. As Caldwell points out, over the past 60 years, we’ve lost our ability to go to the moon. We’ve lost our ability to make supersonic passenger jets at scale. And we’ve lost the high trust society we once had — which is why we can’t trust the media to tell the truth about Islamic terrorist attacks, why we can’t trust the TSA to show up to work in the South, why we can’t trust passengers not to steal wheelchairs, and so on.
At the same time, this decline, as stark as it is, can be reversed. The moment consequences are introduced — the moment TSA officers are fired for pretending to be sick, for example — you will see a dramatic improvement in day-to-day life in this country. It’s been the mission of the civil rights movement to avoid those punishments, and they’ve been very successful at doing so. Before the decline of our country and our transit system gets any worse, and before another Spirit Airlines brawl goes viral, those consequences for everyone — regardless of race — need to make a comeback.
