The leftist media machine just embarrassed itself spectacularly with another fake news attack on the Trump administration - and this time they revealed their complete ignorance of basic Catholic doctrine while trying to manufacture outrage against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
Liberal outlets have been working overtime to slam Hegseth for allegedly "barring Catholics from Good Friday religious services," painting him as some kind of religious bigot. The story spread like wildfire across social media, with anti-Trump activists jumping at yet another chance to attack the administration.
But here's the "tiny problem" that has these fake news peddlers looking like absolute fools: Catholics don't hold Mass on Good Friday.
As one sharp-eyed social media user pointed out on X: "Hard for Hegseth to discriminate against Catholics when Catholics don't have mass on Good Friday." That tweet perfectly captures the absurdity of this manufactured controversy.
"The line between courage and recklessness blurs at the edge of every headline. Today, we stand for truth, for accountability," posted @NahBabyNahNah, sharing the RedState article that exposed this media malpractice.
For those who actually know Catholic tradition - unlike the "journalists" pushing this fake story - Good Friday is a day of fasting and penance. The Catholic Church holds a special liturgy called the "Celebration of the Lord's Passion," but no Mass is celebrated. It's basic Catholic doctrine that any real reporter covering religious liberty should know.
This latest fake news fiasco perfectly illustrates how desperate the mainstream media has become to attack President Trump's team. They're so eager to manufacture scandals that they can't even be bothered to fact-check basic religious practices.
The story has been making rounds on social media, with patriots calling out the obvious media manipulation. @XtraDeadAgain shared the RedState exposé, helping spread the truth about this manufactured outrage.
Once again, we're seeing the same playbook: create a false narrative, let it spread through the echo chamber, then quietly move on when the facts emerge. But Americans are waking up to these tactics.
How many more times will the legacy media embarrass themselves with obviously fake stories before they learn that We the People see right through their propaganda?
