As the nation kicks off its historic America 250 celebration this Fourth of July weekend, a massive media divide is taking center stage. On Thursday Media Research Center President David Bozell joined WMAL host host Derek Hunter to pull back the curtain on how mainstream networks and deep-blue cities are intentionally tamping down the red, white, and blue.
Bozell pointed out the stark contrast between Fox News's live coverage of the Great American State Fair on the National Mall and either radio silence or cynicism from the elitist news outlets. Why the blackout on national pride? According to Bozell, severe "Trump Derangement Syndrome" has corporate media and progressive local governments trading patriotism for politics, simply because Donald Trump is at the helm.
It's sad how many leftists are so blinded by hatred for Donald Trump that they can't put their politics aside to celebrate their country. @DavidBozell and @derekahunter discuss how leftists are suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome ahead of America's 250th pic.twitter.com/1I8Kx3cTRK

Bozell also tackled how this anti-patriotic push aligns with the recent sweep of Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) candidates in primaries nationwide, prompting even some mainstream liberals to panic about the party’s radical leftward lurch.
“I think there's genuine concern that these Democratic Socialists are so to the left of anything normal in the country that the Republicans can easily brand them and easily nationalize these elections, which works against the Democrats,” Bozell noted.
