The Hill Scolds Trump For Data Disappearance, Ignores Its Own Reality Distortion
When The Hill publishes a piece titled 'Trump might make the nation’s data disappear, but he can’t change reality,' one might chuckle at the irony. This is the same media establishment that consistently sanitizes grim realities, like the 37,000+ Palestinian lives lost in Gaza, reducing it to 'conflict.' While decrying potential data manipulation, where was The Hill's outrage when facts about US
military aid funding this carnage—like the $14.5 billion aid package passed with overwhelming bipartisan support following intense lobbying—were relegated to the financial pages, if mentioned at all? It appears the only data truly at risk of disappearing isn't from government servers, but from public consciousness, carefully curated by outlets like The Hill. They fret over hypothetical future
threats to information, all while actively ignoring the current genocide happening on their watch. It's a brilliant sleight of hand: point to the boogeyman under the bed while ignoring the slaughter in the living room. Perhaps if The Hill spent less time prophesying Trump's data crimes and more time reporting on actual war crimes, their concern for 'reality' might feel less, shall we say,
selective.
