Mainstream media continues defending what they characterized for years as a conspiracy theory.
ABC News anchor George Stephanopoulos proclaimed Tuesday that the “Deep State is packed with patriots” who “don’t care about political parties.”
What an odd thing to say, especially considering the media and Democrats for years had dismissed the existence of the Deep State as a conspiracy theory.
Stephanopoulos made the remarks on The View while discussing his book where he interviewed many bureaucrats in the intelligence agencies and military.
“Some people like to call those people the Deep State. Well, the big thing I learned doing this book is that the Deep State is packed with patriots,” he said.

“People who go to work every single day on the frontlines of the most intense crises the country faces and do it to serve their country and to serve the presidency — not the president — they don’t care about political parties. They’re there to serve the presidency and the institution.”
The media has been more open about its defense of the Deep State AKA the Administrative State in recent months since former President Donald Trump announced his intention to purge “rogue bureaucrats” in the Deep State if elected in November.
Biden in response issued a new rule last month that would make it harder to fire unelected government employees.
In March, the New York Times published a piece insisting “the Deep State is actually kind of awesome.”
In a classic straw man fallacy, the NYT portrayed the Deep State as a group of nerdy, innocent and well-to-do government workers performing important functions for humanity, like working at NASA sending satellites into space, decontaminating water for the Environmental Protection Agency or ensuring safe workplaces for the Department of Labor.
But anyone who pays attention to politics or Trump’s remarks on the Deep State understands Trump is referring to rogue intelligence agency officials and Democrat bureaucrats carrying out the whims of the Biden administration.
The documentary Chasing Trump highlights this point by exposing the politically motivated anti-Trump Democrats who’ve brought charges against Trump during an election year and even campaigned on doing so.
Additionally, a CIA cyber operations project manager recently admitted in undercover video that intelligence agencies deliberately withheld information from President Donald Trump while he was in office and regularly spied on him and his family.
That doesn’t even begin to touch on the Russia collusion hoax or the impeachment hoaxes against Trump that were generated by intelligence agencies and media manipulation.
The targeting of Republicans, Trump supporters and conservatives by the federal government and lack of accountability for lawbreaking Democrats had become so obvious and pervasive that House Republicans formed the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of Government.
That Weaponization Committee released a report this month showing the federal government routinely tasked Big Tech companies to censor conservatives on a range of topics from COVID vaccines to the Hunter Biden Laptop From Hell.
Former UK Prime Minister Liz Truss even penned an op-ed last month warning the Deep State plans to sabotage Trump’s second term.
“Even if President Trump is re-elected, his battle will have only begun,” Truss wrote in her piece “The Deep State Lies in Wait for Trump.”
“Across the West—especially the English-speaking world—there has been a shift of power away from democratically accountable officeholders to unelected bureaucrats and technocrats.”
“His second term will be much like my time in office if he doesn’t confront the entrenched bureaucracy,” she added.
