The latest episode of CBS Sunday Morning has followed the familiar pattern of desperately searching for a “constitutional crisis,” a concept that seems to excite the media like a child on Christmas morning. It appears that the mere existence of Donald Trump back at the helm is enough to send the pundits into a tailspin, clutching their pearls and feigning shock. One has to wonder if they’ll ever tire of this charade, but with ratings plummeting faster than a lead balloon, it seems they’re willing to try anything—no matter how ridiculous—to keep their viewers glued to the screen.
The segment in question, helmed by CBS stalwart Robert Costa, implied that Trump’s actions as president might amount to a grand constitutional showdown simply because he dares to embrace the power vested in him. It’s quite amusing to recall that the media conveniently overlooks times when the current president, Joe Biden, chose to ignore the Supreme Court on issues like student loans. In this wacky world of liberal logic, Biden’s blatant disregard is somehow acceptable, while Trump’s every move is scrutinized under a microscope, as if he’s committing some sort of unpardonable sin by merely doing his job.
THM News: CBS Sunday Morning's Constitutional Crisis Narrative Got Easily Blown Up https://t.co/GZbFLhTnrz

Jane Pauley kicked off the segment by lamenting the quick-fire executive orders that have flown out of the Trump White House like confetti at a parade. Who knew a president actually utilizing the powers granted to him by the Constitution could send shockwaves through the media landscape? It’s a double standard that can’t be ignored. If this is what a “crisis” looks like, perhaps it’s time for the media to recalibrate their definition of the term. After all, ignoring the Supreme Court appears to be a popular pastime for some—just ask Biden, who very publicly announced his intentions to ignore court rulings that went against his student debt relief plan.
As for the supposed crisis itself, Jeffrey Rosen, an expert dredged up for the segment, insisted that a constitutional crisis only occurs when a president blatantly refuses to follow the Supreme Court’s orders. Given that Biden did precisely that without any repercussions, one can almost hear the media’s collective intake of breath as they realize they’ve walked into a trap of their own making—taking one step forward only to find themselves backpedaling into a wall of hypocrisy. The irony is downright delicious, and it presents a challenge for anyone trying to navigate the shifting sands of mainstream media reporting.
The overall sentiment is clear: the American electorate has recognized the absurdity of the legacy press. With trust in traditional media evaporating faster than water on a hot pan, it’s remarkable how many viewers have turned to alternative news sources that present a clearer, unfiltered view of reality. The mainstream media can no longer mask their bias, which is like trying to hide a raging bull in a china shop. The people are tuning out the laughable narratives being pushed by outlets like CBS because they can see the gaslighting for what it is, and they’d rather not take part in this melodrama.
In conclusion, it must be an exceptionally tough time to be a member of the mainstream media—a reality underscored by their frantic attempts to create scandals where none exist. With every new episode of this farcical quest to demean Trump, they only serve to remind viewers of the vast differences between substantial reporting and the nonsense presently peddled as news. Their struggles are palpable as they grapple with the reality of their crumbling credibility in an age where they can no longer control the narrative.
