Mediaite, known for its leftist stance, has come under scrutiny for fabricating a transcript of an interview with now-Senator J.D. Vance (R-OH) in an apparent effort to influence former President Donald Trump’s selection process for a vice presidential candidate.
The publication, which is often critical of Trump, ran a headline on Wednesday claiming that Vance had expressed belief in Trump’s sexual assault accuser during a 2016 interview on MSNBC.
However, a closer examination of the actual transcript from the October 12, 2016, Hardball show reveals that Mediaite’s portrayal is misleading.
During the interview with then-MSNBC host Chris Matthews, Vance was asked for his reaction to a clip of Jessica Leeds accusing Trump of groping her.
In response, Vance characterized the situation as a “he said/she said” disagreement and questioned whether one should believe Trump or Leeds. In no way did he express belief in the accuser as claimed by Mediaite.
What makes this incident more noteworthy is the fact that the author of the article did not seek comment from Vance’s team before publishing the story.
Additionally, despite the availability of video footage of the interview on MSNBC’s website, it was not included in Mediaite’s piece.
Moreover, conversations with Vance’s staff after publication revealed that the author admitted to “surmising” what he thought Vance meant rather than accurately representing his words.
This incident is part of a pattern where established media entities are seen as trying to thwart Trump from selecting Vance as his running mate for the 2024 presidential election.
The New York Post’s editorial board and The Wall Street Journal’s editorial board have also criticized Vance and promoted other potential candidates in recent weeks.
It is clear that Mediaite’s misrepresentation of Vance’s comments serves as an example of biased reporting aimed at influencing public perception and political decision-making.
This distortion not only compromises journalistic integrity but also reflects a broader trend where media outlets are accused of manipulating narratives to advance their own agendas.
The controversy surrounding this misleading reporting underscores the importance of responsible journalism and ethical standards within media organizations.
With public trust in media at stake, incidents like these highlight the need for transparency and accuracy in reporting to ensure factual representation and accountability.

Revelation 21:8 Amplified Bible “But as for the cowards and unbelieving and abominable [who are devoid of character and personal integrity and practice or tolerate immorality], and murderers, and sorcerers [with intoxicating drugs], and idolaters and occultists [who practice and teach false religions], and all the liars [who knowingly deceive and twist truth], their part will be in the lake that blazes with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”
1 Timothy 6:10 Amplified Bible “For the love of money [that is, the greedy desire for it and the willingness to gain it unethically] is a root of all sorts of evil, and some by longing for it have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves [through and through] with many sorrows.”
That is you for sure; wake up!
Another awesome piece, Erica.
Glad you put this out there for us as knowledge. At some point in history, the American people believed the media’s responsibility was to inform the populace with an unbiased reporting of facts. We believed, and still insist, it is essential to the healthy functioning of our Republic. However, to the contrary, biased reporting such as this, is EXTREMELY dangerous. The once subtle presentations are not at all subtle any more. Their reporting and questioning are solely to sway opinion to that of their own, which can only be described right now as anti-constitution, or socialistic, or authoritarian.
An example can be seen over the past couple of Dana Bash interviews I’ve watched. The CNN anchor’s interviews of Vivek and Marco are simply astonishing and in no possible way should be considered neutral, unbiased, or healthy for the average viewer. Her own beliefs were so apparent, and so toxic to the healthy views of unbiased Americans. And she was chosen to moderate the presidential debate why?
Conservative Americans, or should I say, fellow Americans who truly value the freedoms outlined in the Constitution and Bill of Rights, Americans who believe that our Creator gives us rights, not government, and Americans who cherish the idea of a nuclear family must demand better from “news organizations”. The current censorship and palpable bias, coupled with the ultimate cancel culture (de-platforming your opposition, or indicting them when that fails) is proving to be the most unhealthy serving ever pushed on the American people.
This is why I have been saying for years that the MEDIA is our nation’s & we the peoples
