Multiple outlets publish opinion-style claims tying reactions to the 9/11 anniversary to allegations of political “smear” and “hate” directed toward former President Donald Trump and the White House.
The New York Post frames the anniversary coverage as a “dirty tricks” effort that it attributes to “leftist media,” asserting that such reporting spreads hate on the 25th anniversary of the September 11 attacks. Real Clear Politics echoes similar language, also describing efforts as originating from the “left” and characterizing them as spreading hate aimed at New York and the White House.
Both pieces use parallel framing and focus on political rhetoric and media conduct rather than reporting specific new events. At the same time, neither source provides detailed evidence within the supplied text about particular claims, sources, or documented incidents, leaving the precise content and basis of the alleged smears unclear.
Overall, the articles reflect a dispute over how 9/11 anniversary coverage intersects with contemporary politics, with both presenting accusations about the intentions and impact of media narratives.
