The Leftist Media’s Obsession: Fabricating Racism to Demonize White America

Starting in 2012, sociologists began picking up on a new trend: White progressives were becoming obsessed with race, slavery, and white supremacy—largely driven by the liberal media exponentially increasing its focus on these issues. Sociologists called it The Great Awokening. That’s what Trump is fighting…

In a recent appearance on CNN’s NewsNight, author and commentator Batya Ungar-Sargon exposed the underbelly of leftist media’s relentless campaign to stoke racial divisions. Discussing President Trump’s criticisms of national museums for what he sees as “editing history” through woke exhibits emphasizing slavery and white supremacy, Ungar-Sargon pointed to the “Great Awokening”—a phenomenon starting around 2012 where white progressives, fueled by liberal media, became hyper-obsessed with race, slavery, and white supremacy. She cited data showing explosive increases in media mentions: terms like “white supremacy” surged from 75 times in 2010 to 700 in The New York Times and Washington Post by 2020, and 2,400 times on NPR.
“Racism” appeared 4,000 times in those outlets in 2020 alone, while “white racial privilege” grew by 1,500% from 2013 to 2019. Ungar-Sargon argued this isn’t reflecting reality but manufacturing a narrative that positions white Americans as perpetual villains, even as actual racism has declined since the Jim Crow era.Host Abby Phillip countered that past silence on racism during the 1950s and 1960s—when segregation was rampant—meant today’s discussions are merely “awareness.” But Ungar-Sargon pushed back: If racism was worse then but rarely discussed, why the explosion now when society is far more equal?

This exchange exemplifies how leftist media creates fake issues, obsessing over fabricated or exaggerated racism to target white people exclusively, while ignoring minority perspectives that often reject this extremism. As Ungar-Sargon noted, polls show white liberals hold more radical views on race than blacks or Hispanics, driven by a media echo chamber that amplifies division for political gain.This isn’t isolated; it’s a pattern of leftist media engineering hoaxes and distortions to portray white America as inherently racist, eroding trust and fueling anti-white sentiment. Conservative analysts have long chronicled how these tactics undermine democracy by prioritizing ideology over facts. For instance, in 2021, media outlets amplified numerous fake hate crimes, only for them to unravel, revealing a deliberate push to inflate perceptions of white bigotry.

The Jussie Smollett case is a prime example: In 2019, CNN and other networks breathlessly covered the actor’s claim of a brutal attack by Trump supporters yelling racist and homophobic slurs in “MAGA country.” It fit the narrative perfectly—white conservatives as violent hatemongers. Yet, as the trial revealed, Smollett staged the entire incident, hiring accomplices to fake the assault. Despite overwhelming evidence, leftist figures like Black Lives Matter leaders called the proceedings a “white supremacist charade,” doubling down on the myth.

Fox News commentator Tucker Carlson asked, “How did anyone fall for Jussie Smollett’s hoax?” The answer: Media desperation to sustain a false narrative of rampant white racism. Similar hoaxes abound, often designed to smear whites while boosting progressive causes. In 2017, at the Air Force Academy, racist slurs like “Go home n*****” were scrawled on dorm doors, prompting the superintendent to declare war on bigotry in a viral speech. Media outlets framed it as evidence of systemic white racism in the military. But investigations showed a black cadet fabricated the messages to highlight “diversity issues.”

That same year, a “diversity council” at Gustavus Adolphus College admitted to posting fake racist flyers reading “A NOTICE TO ALL WHITE AMERICANS” to “educate” about racism—essentially manufacturing hate to justify their agenda. In 2019, Syracuse University was rocked by a “white supremacist manifesto” circulated online, leading to protests and claims of a toxic campus for minorities. Authorities later deemed it “probably a hoax,” but not before media used it to bash white students. These aren’t anomalies; they’re symptomatic of a broader strategy. National Review has documented how leftist media sustains a “false police shooting crisis” by hyping racial narratives around incidents like Michael Brown’s death in Ferguson. Despite a DOJ investigation clearing the officer, figures like Rep. Cori Bush continue labeling it “white supremacy,” perpetuating the hoax that unarmed blacks are routinely murdered by racist whites.

This ignores data showing no epidemic of such shootings, but it serves to vilify white law enforcement and society. Even tools like the Implicit Association Test (IAT), promoted by media as proof of “unconscious racism” in whites, have been debunked as flawed science that confuses knowledge of stereotypes with actual prejudice. Heritage Foundation experts argue it tricks Americans into believing they’re racist, fueling self-loathing among whites and justifying anti-white policies. CNN itself exemplifies this bias. Labeled “fake news” by Trump for good reason, the network has a history of disinformation, from Russiagate hoaxes to Covington Catholic teens falsely portrayed as racist smirking at a Native American elder—ignoring video evidence that the teens were harassed.

In 2023, MSNBC (often lumped with CNN as “MSDNC”) featured an Ivy League professor trashing critical race theory critics as “fake journalists,” while blaming “structural racism” for black-on-black violence like the Tyre Nichols case—sidestepping facts to attack white systems. Fox News has called out how public blame for political violence often lands on media for inflating racial tensions. The Federalist warns that this race-obsessed left has “released a monster it can’t control,” birthing alt-right backlash not from conservative faults but from constant false accusations against whites. National Review echoes this, noting how media lies—like labeling opposition to affirmative action as “racism”—bolster liberal Supreme Court dissents with bogus claims of bigotry.

In 2024, activists nearly ruined a Denver mom’s life with baseless racism charges, only for evidence to expose the hoax—yet media initially amplified it. That year, three activists were charged for a KKK-style cross-burning hoax to aid a black mayoral candidate, framing it as white intimidation. This obsession attacks white people only, portraying them as the sole perpetrators of evil while excusing or ignoring racism elsewhere. As Thomas Sowell wrote in National Review, it’s “race-card fraud”—using fabricated grievances to silence dissent and maintain power. Media hoaxes like these erode trust: A 2021 Heritage report found outlets did more to damage credibility than repair it through such stories. WSJ’s Jason Riley noted hate crime hoaxes are far more common than admitted, with a “huge percentage” faked to evidence bigotry.

Ultimately, leftist media’s fake issues— from museum “attacks” to staged hate crimes—divide Americans, obsessing on phantom racism to demonize whites. As Ungar-Sargon argued on CNN, this isn’t organic awareness; it’s manufactured hysteria. Conservatives like those at Townhall and Breitbart (though not directly cited here) consistently expose these tactics along with Whatfinger News every day, urging a return to facts over fiction. Until media stops this assault, racial harmony remains elusive, and white Americans bear the brunt of undeserved vilification.
