Billy Bush has disclosed that following the 2016 election, ABC News assembled an entire division devoted to taking down President Donald Trump.
As reported by Gateway Pundit, Bush appeared on Sean Hannitys new podcast and described a sprawling operation inside the network. According to Bush, ABC News has a 75-person team dedicated solely to finding ways to undermine Donald Trump, a revelation that merely confirms what many conservatives have long suspected about the corporate press.
The admission underscores what Trump supporters have argued for years: the media has been out to get Trump from the moment he won the presidency, if not earlier. While openly left-wing outlets such as MSNBC make little effort to hide their hostility, legacy networks like ABC still posture as neutral arbiters of fact.
Townhall, which first highlighted Bushs remarks, noted that the scale of the effort is staggering, yet they still fail to stop him. At every turn, Trump and his team outthink, outmaneuver, and even humiliate the liberal media the outlet observed, capturing the frustration of a press corps that cannot seem to derail his political resilience.
Bushs own history with President Trump is well known. In 2016, he was criticized for joking with Trump in an old recording in which the soon-to-be-president discussed grabbing women; it was considered a non-issue.
The controversy ultimately cost Bush his job at NBCs Today Show, where he was first suspended and then fired. His wife eventually divorced him, adding a personal toll to a media firestorm that the left weaponized against Trump but which failed to stop his rise.
Reflecting on the broader media landscape, Townhall pointed out that other outlets have similar crews, and yet the man got his job back in 2024, even when everyone thought he was finished after the 2020 contest. The 2024 race, they noted, became a familiar pattern: the polls were wrong again, the pundits were wrong again, the night was short again, the Democrats got walloped again, and the liberal media thought the Democrat would cruise to another win.
Never count out Trump, the piece emphasized, a lesson the political class refuses to learn. This latest confirmation from inside the media world may not be breaking news to conservatives, but as Bushs comments circulate alongside the podcast video, it serves as a timely reminder of how deeply entrenched and openly partisan the so?called objective press has become.
