In 2025, journalism in the United States is undergoing another existential crisis. With Donald Trump back in the White House, the media landscape has further polarized. Traditional lines between reporting and propaganda have eroded, particularly in the MAGA media ecosystem. Some of the most visible figures in the press corps and influencer class no longer operate as watchdogs. Instead, they function more like public relations agents for the administration.

These ten individuals have leveraged access, influence, and platforms not to hold power accountable, but to amplify it. Their coverage favors narrative over nuance and loyalty over truth. Whether through flattery, selective reporting, or outright cheerleading, these media figures have blurred the line between journalist and mouthpiece.

1. Jack Posobiec (Human Events, Turning Point USA)

Jack Posobiec has fully transformed from conspiracy theorist to White House insider. In 2025, he is not just reporting on the Trump administration, he is embedded within it. He has been spotted traveling with top officials like Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, acting more like a team member than an objective reporter.

His platform serves as a key vehicle for disseminating administration talking points to a massive online following. Posobiec rarely challenges Trump, instead echoing grievances, amplifying culture war rhetoric, and targeting perceived enemies of the state.

2. Natalie Winters (War Room)

As Steve Bannon’s protégé and now a White House correspondent, Winters brings War Room energy straight to the press corps. Her coverage focuses almost exclusively on defending the administration and attacking critics, particularly in mainstream media and the Democratic Party.

In 2025, she has become one of the administration’s loudest media allies, working to discredit traditional journalism while presenting herself as a truth-teller. Her reporting rarely includes dissenting voices or factual pushback. Instead, it follows the tone of an internal memo disguised as journalism.

3. Mary Margaret Olohan (The Daily Wire)

Olohan covers the Trump administration like a brand ambassador on tour. She frequently accompanies officials on international trips and presents policy initiatives with a tone that borders on promotional.

Her pieces often lack critical inquiry or opposing views, reading more like newsletters than journalism. The Daily Wire, her home base, functions more like a media arm of the Republican Party than an independent outlet, and Olohan has embraced that role fully.

4. Matthew Boyle (Breitbart News)

As Breitbart’s Washington political editor, Boyle enjoys close proximity to the Trump administration. His outlet has long served as a megaphone for Trump’s base, and Boyle’s 2025 reporting continues that tradition with enthusiasm.

He secures exclusive interviews with top officials and rarely asks challenging questions. Instead, his pieces reinforce administration narratives, particularly on immigration, law enforcement, and foreign policy. The result is less journalism and more in-house content marketing for the regime.

5. Raheem Kassam (The National Pulse)

Kassam is more ideologue than journalist. As editor-in-chief of The National Pulse, he blends editorializing with unfiltered pro-Trump coverage. His proximity to the administration is well-established, with regular invites to insider events and strategy sessions.

In 2025, Kassam has positioned himself as both commentator and participant, reinforcing the administration’s cultural and political war narratives. He operates less like an observer and more like a co-author of the Trump playbook.

6. Brian Glenn (Real America’s Voice)

Glenn has made a name for himself as the friendly face in Trump’s press room. As Real America’s Voice correspondent, his softball questions and deferential tone have earned him regular call-outs by Trump and his staff.

His presence legitimizes fringe right-wing narratives while dressing them in the aesthetic of press professionalism. In Glenn’s reporting, Trump is always in control, always right, and always victimized. It’s not analysis. It’s repetition.

7. Mark Levin (Fox News, Radio Host)

Mark Levin’s transition from media figure to policy influencer has solidified in 2025. His appointment to the Homeland Security Advisory Council reflects how tightly knit the Trump media and political machines have become.

On air, Levin remains a firebrand defender of the administration, using his platform to attack opponents and celebrate Trump’s leadership. Off air, he contributes to shaping actual government strategy. It’s the clearest example of where punditry and policymaking now collide.

These ten media figures exemplify the blurring lines between journalism, propaganda, and influence in 2025. Some wear the label of journalist. Others are influencers, podcasters, or entertainers. But the throughline is clear: their primary function is not to interrogate power, but to protect and promote it.

In this new media ecosystem, loyalty buys access and access buys credibility. And for an administration that thrives on grievance and control, these media allies have become indispensable. Journalism, once the fourth estate, is now, in too many cases, just another extension of the campaign.
