Martha Raddatz just reminded everyone why the mainstream media is about as trustworthy as a three-dollar bill. During an interview this weekend on ABC’s This Week, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent calmly exposed exactly how dishonest these so-called “journalists” are — and Raddatz’s weak attempt to cover for the media’s latest faceplant was downright embarrassing.
Bessent didn’t mince words. He pointed out how the fake news media breathlessly reported just ten days ago that the stock market was suffering “the worst April since the Great Depression.” Scary headlines, right? Except there was one little problem: it wasn’t true. Fast forward a mere ten days, and the NASDAQ has not only recovered but actually gained ground for the month of April. Facts are stubborn things, but don’t expect Raddatz or her corporate news buddies to acknowledge them.
Here’s the math for anyone keeping score at home: the NASDAQ sat at 19,278 on March 31, 2025. By Friday, April 25, it was up to 19,432. So despite the endless doom-and-gloom from the media — and yes, despite President Trump’s aggressive tariff policies — the market is higher than where it started. It wasn’t just a “back and forth” like Raddatz pathetically tried to spin it. It was a major comeback that they desperately don’t want you to notice because it doesn’t fit their 24/7 Trump-bashing narrative.
Instead of admitting she and her media pals were wrong (again), Raddatz pulled a classic move straight from the Fake News Playbook: shrug, deflect, and pretend like nothing happened. No correction. No apology. No honesty. Just another day in the leftist media’s alternate universe where facts don’t matter and the only goal is to make Trump and his administration look bad — even if it means lying through their teeth.

Ten days later, the Nasdaq is now up on the month of April, and I haven’t seen a story that says ‘stock market has biggest bounce back ever.'” pic.twitter.com/gbU68ocKV8

Secretary Bessent deserves credit for calling them out to their faces. He didn’t get angry or dramatic; he just laid out the numbers, made the media look foolish, and let the truth speak for itself. That’s how you handle liars: calmly, publicly, and with irrefutable facts.
This whole episode just proves what we already knew: the media isn’t just biased — they’re broken. They don’t inform. They don’t entertain. They just push anti-American propaganda wrapped in a fake smile. No wonder trust in the mainstream press is at an all-time low.
The American people are waking up. We know who’s lying. And no, Martha, pretending the market is “back and forth” won’t save you from the reality that you and your buddies are the biggest joke on TV.
