Donald Trump’s White House has terminated all contracts with the mainstream media. Trump has ordered the General Services Administration (GSA), a key agency that assists other government departments, to cancel “every single media contract,” according to an email obtained by Axios.
“GSA team, please do two things,” a Trump administration official wrote: Pull all contracts for Politico, BBC, E&E (Politico sub), and Bloomberg. Pull all media contracts for just GSA – cancel every single media contract today for GSA only.
President Trump is targeting the federal government’s media contracts after Elon Musk and his allies discovered millions of dollars in agency subscriptions to Politico Pro, a policy-tracking service widely used in Washington. These contracts facilitate the ruling class’s official narrative and toe the line for the masters.
The Mainstream Media Will Never Recover From These Shocking Revelations
The discovery, made through a U.S. government spending database that has long been publicly available, triggered erroneous theories on X about the Biden administration “funding” anti-Trump media.

Politico’s executives claimed they had never received government funding. They addressed what they called the “false conspiracy theories” about the company receiving “funding” from the government in a note to readers on Thursday.
“POLITICO is a privately owned company. We have never received any government funding — no subsidies, no grants, no handouts. Not one dime, ever, in 18 years,” wrote Politico Media Group CEO Goli Sheikholeslami and Politico Global Editor-In-Chief John Harris.
However, the specific instructions were referencing Politico Pro. Elon Musk, who oversees the so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), and his team uncovered millions of federal dollars being spent on Politico Pro subscriptions. Politico Pro is a premium legislative and regulatory tracking service used by multiple government agencies, with subscription costs reportedly being up to $10,000 per year.
According to a report by RT, Trump claimed on Thursday that billions of dollars had been stolen by the US Agency for International Development (USAID) and used to pay for positive news coverage of Democrats. “Looks like billions of dollars have been stollen [sic] at USAID, and other agencies, much of it going to the fake news media as a ‘payoff’ for creating good stories about the democrats. the left wing ‘rag,’ known as ‘Politico,’ seems to have received $8,000,000,” Trump wrote.
Does that mean the ruling class is lying? Or is the mainstream media lying? Or are both, and the truth cannot be found in establishment systems built to control others?
We’ll let you decide, but we are interested in facilitating a discussion in the comment section.
