In the wake of the tragic Delta plane crash in Toronto, NBC’s Tom Costello wasted no time pointing fingers—President Trump, Elon Musk, and even the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) were blamed for the disaster. But here’s the catch: the crash happened under Canadian air traffic control, so how in the world did these names get dragged into it?
Costello’s attempt to link the crash to FAA budget cuts in the U.S. is as irresponsible as it is misplaced. People weren’t buying it. They quickly pointed out that the plane wasn’t even under American jurisdiction at the time. This wasn’t a case of American mismanagement; it was a Canadian issue—plain and simple.
But NBC didn’t care for the facts. Instead, they ran with a narrative that not only smeared Trump and Musk but also showed just how reckless the media can be in the rush to push an agenda. It’s disgusting how quickly they pulled the blame card without doing any real homework.
This isn’t just about the Delta crash—it’s about a broader pattern in media reporting. Too many outlets, like NBC, have become quick to blame and slow to check facts. It’s become a dangerous game of sensationalism over accuracy. The public is waking up to this, and they’re not buying it anymore.
What we need is real, honest reporting—not this shameful attempt to drag innocent people into tragedy without proof. This isn’t just misleading; it’s reckless. The media must take responsibility for its actions—because it’s clear they’re getting a whole lot wrong.
NBC’s Tom Costello instantly blames President Trump, Elon Musk, and DOGE for the Delta plane crash in Toronto.
Really can’t hate these people enough.
