The mainstream media isn’t doing its job. That’s not a surprise to many of us. Every day we hear about the poor government employees losing their jobs and how horrible that is. But somehow, the mainstream media isn’t saying much about how much waste the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has found and how much their proposed cuts could mean to the average American taxpayer (or the positive impact shrinking the government could have on inflation). If you have ever worked in the private sector, you understand that there are times a company has to cut its workforce to decrease costs. That’s not fun, but sometimes it is necessary. If you have never been impacted by that, you are fortunate.

On Wednesday, Newsbusters reported the following:

Once a hero of the enviro-left for his electric Tesla cars, the broadcast networks have turned Elon Musk into a boogeyman who is heartlessly firing federal employees and endangering the public with cuts to food and airline safety programs. 

Musk has been so villainized by the media that his once-beloved Teslas are being vandalized by the left. 

There is another narrative that the lefties at ABC, CBS, NBC refuse to tell: How Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) have already saved the hard-working American taxpayer billions of dollars by canceling boondoggle government contracts. 

In 32 days of coverage (February 8 – March 12) ABC, CBS, NBC (on their evening and morning news shows) spent a total of (4 minutes, 43 seconds) citing specific dollar amounts that DOGE or President Donald Trump claimed to have saved the American taxpayer. 

The article lists some of the announcements the mainstream media has ignored:

On March 10, DOGE re-posted Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s announcement: 

After a 6 week review we are officially cancelling 83% of the programs at USAID.

…On March 7, DOGE re-posted Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins announcement:

CANCELLED: $600,000 grant to study “menstrual cycles in transgender men”

…On March 5, DOGE announced:

Yesterday, @NIH cancelled seven grants for transgender experiments on animals including:

– $532K to “use a mouse model to investigate the effects of cross-sex testosterone treatment”

The article lists several more instances of wasteful spending. None of these was covered by CBS, ABC or NBC. The American public deserves better journalism than that.
