Every so often, a song comes along that doesn’t just entertain—it pierces through the cultural fog like a lighthouse in a storm.
The Great Media Hoax is one of those songs.
I first heard this song when watching Mike Cernovich’s movie, Hoaxed.
It’s a battle cry against corruption, manipulation, and the ever-growing divide between the ruling elite and the struggling masses. With a blend of righteous anger and unshakable faith, the lyrics capture the frustration of an era where deception is currency and truth is rationed like contraband.
Manufactured Reality
Look at the hell that’s been brewing
As they cry you cheat and you steal
Preaching from one of your limos
While they struggle just paying their bills.
The hypocrisy of the powerful is nothing new.
From ancient kings to modern media moguls, history is littered with people who demand sacrifices from the common man while they sit comfortably behind fortified walls.
Today, our cultural elite preach virtue while hoarding wealth, selling narratives that serve their interests, and dismissing the concerns of everyday people.
C.S. Lewis warned of this kind of ruling class in The Abolition of Man, where he described elites who claim moral superiority while acting with ruthless self-interest.
People are waking up to the game.
Profiting Off Chaos and Fear
Well there’s proof on the battlefield
You suck profits from all that are killed
But we’ve got our faith back
And we’re tired of messing around.
Fear sells, and those in power know it. Whether through wars, pandemics, or economic crises, the ruling class profits from instability while the average person bears the cost.
The media cycles of today function much like medieval doomsayers, constantly warning of impending catastrophe only to offer the solutions that just so happen to benefit the most powerful.
The song’s call to reclaim faith is crucial.
Fear is the currency of control, but faith is the antidote.
As St. Paul wrote in 2 Timothy 1:7, “For God did not give us a spirit of timidity but a spirit of power and love and self-control.” When we remember this, we stop playing into the hands of those who thrive on our despair.
The Hoax Industry
Look at your tiny retraction
You’ve already gotten the views
Those methods to keep us divided
How else would you spread your fake news?”
This verse is a brutal takedown of media manipulation. We live in a time when a lie can travel halfway around the world before the truth gets its boots on.
News outlets push sensationalized half-truths, then quietly retract them once the damage is done. Readers are manipulated to always be angry, distracted, and divided.
Modern institutions rely on keeping us shackled to deception.
This song challenges this concept directly, calling out the playbook of those who twist reality to their advantage.
The People
We’re tired of screaming out loud
We’re tired of living our lives in the cloud
And go on and sell us your fear
But look how we’ve basked in our enemies’ tears.
There comes a point when the masses refuse to be manipulated any longer.
The digital age has led to unprecedented control: our lives stored in the cloud, our speech policed everywhere, our communities deeply fragmented.
But the people are reclaiming their strength, refusing to be pawns in a game rigged against them.
This is the spirit of righteous resistance, not in a call for violence but in a call for clarity, unity, and faith.
It echoes Christ’s message in Matthew 10:16: “Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves; so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves.”
We are called to see through the deception while standing firm in truth and grace.
A Call to Truth
The Great Media Hoax is more than a song, it’s a cultural moment.
It’s a battle hymn for those who refuse to be gaslit, manipulated, or controlled by a system that profits from their suffering.
It reminds us that while the world thrives on division, deception, and fear, faith and truth remain the ultimate weapons against corruption.
So let them push their hoaxes, sell their fear, and play their twisted games. We’ll stand firm, eyes open, feet on solid ground, and voices raised in song!
