Farrow's Fear-Mongering Sells Inaccurate PHONE SPYWARE Narrative

[Logo]( [Media Frenzy: Claims Trump Will 'Hack Your Phone'] [Media Frenzy: Claims Trump Will 'Hack Your Phone']( The media is going through the five stages of grief. Ronan Farrow's recent New Yorker piece, "The Technology the Trump Administration Could Use to Hack Your Phone," is the latest chapter in the mainstream media's prolonged tantrum over Donald Trump's political existence. With Election Day 2024 now behind us, Farrow and his ilk remain stuck in the anger phase of the five stages of grief, furiously churning out headlines that would be at home in a dystopian thriller. The premise? Advanced surveillance tools exist, and Trump, naturally cast as the ultimate villain, will gleefully exploit them to spy on innocent citizens. The evidence? Virtually non-existent, but that doesn't stop the hyperbole. Farrow's article takes readers on a tour of surveillance fears, jumping from Greece to Poland, while conveniently ignoring more pressing culprits like Russia or China-countries that have made industrial-grade surveillance their bread and butter. He does, however, take a swipe at Israel, subtly suggesting that the Jewish state's understandable focus on national security feeds into a global spyware conspiracy. For Farrow, any mention of surveillance must be cloaked in ominous tones, especially if it can be tied to anything remotely connected to Trump. The irony, of course, is that Farrow ignores one glaring contradiction: the very administration he tacitly defends, the Biden White House, has embraced policies that open the door to warrantless surveillance of Americans. Earlier this year, Congress voted on an amendment to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) that would have required a warrant to access Americans' personal data. That amendment, authored by Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ), failed in a 212-212 tie, with the lion's share of Democratic lawmakers voting against it. The current administration's selective use of surveillance tools against Trump supporters and other perceived political threats has been well-documented, yet Farrow conveniently glosses over this in his pursuit of a Trump narrative. The [piece also offers a bizarre juxtaposition](, suggesting that Trump will somehow leverage surveillance technologies already adopted in deep-blue bastions like California. The notion that Trump has control over California's spyware practices is laughable, but Farrow doesn't let logic get in the way of his storytelling. As if these contradictions weren't enough, Farrow recycles old, debunked myths about Trump-claims of military tribunals for political enemies and ominous quotes taken wildly out of context. It's less journalism and more a grab-bag of Twitter rumors, lazily repackaged for an audience eager to validate its worst fears about a man who remains their political boogeyman. The truth is simpler and less dramatic: surveillance technology is a bipartisan issue, rife with potential for abuse, regardless of who occupies the White House. Yet Farrow's piece doesn't engage in a meaningful critique of the policies enabling such abuses. Instead, it leans into the same tired fear-mongering that paints Trump as an omnipotent overlord while ignoring the current administration's similar-if not worse-track record.
