In a revealing article, New York Magazine has inadvertently exposed its own questionable agenda while attempting to label conservatives as racists. Conservative commentator CJ Pearson recently hosted a lively gathering intended to honor social media creators who played a crucial role in President Trump’s victory.
This event, held at Sax Lounge in Washington, DC, on January 19, was attended by notable figures such as rappers Lil Pump and Waka Flocka Flame, among hundreds of others.

However, Brock Coylar, writing for New York Magazine, decided to focus on a different narrative, suggesting that the event was a predominantly “White” affair.
The magazine published an article titled *The Cruel Kids’ Table*, accompanied by a cover photo conspicuously edited to exclude any Black attendees, including Pearson himself. Coylar even alleged that a party guest commented, “Have you noticed the entire room is white?” to emphasize this misleading narrative.
The publication’s decision to crop Black individuals from the cover photo is not just a mere oversight but a deliberate move to push a biased storyline. CJ Pearson expressed his dismay to The New York Post, stating, “It would have undermined this entire narrative that they wanted to perpetuate, which is that MAGA is some racially homogenous movement of people.” He noted that the magazine’s actions required “willful ignorance” to overlook the event’s diversity.
On social media platform X, Pearson shared his frustration: *“I hosted this event and @NYMag intentionally left me out of their story because it would have undermined their narrative that MAGA is some racist cult.”*

He highlighted the absence of mentions of prominent guests like Waka Flocka Flame and Gervonta Davis, further illustrating the publication’s selective reporting. Pearson’s declaration, *“You don’t hate the liberal media enough,”* resonates with many who are weary of such biased portrayals.
🚨🚨This is insane.
I hosted this event and @NYMag intentionally left me out of their story because it would have undermined their narrative that MAGA is some racist cult. They also didn’t include the fact that @WakaFlocka and @Gervontaa were also there.

Pearson wasn’t alone in his criticism. He shared photos from the event, showcasing the diverse crowd that New York Magazine conveniently ignored. His tweet read: *“@NYMag accused me of hosting a white-only inauguration rager. I guess none of these black people got the memo?”* This statement challenges the publication’s narrative and underscores the event’s true inclusivity.

Rob Smith, another attendee, supported Pearson’s viewpoint, emphasizing the diversity present at the party. *“I was at this party as were MANY other Conservative media influencers who are Black, Latino, Asian, etc.,”* Smith remarked. He accused New York Magazine of using a strategically chosen photo to falsely imply that diversity among Republicans is non-existent.
Smith’s comment, *“You don’t hate the media enough,”* echoes the sentiment of many who feel misrepresented by mainstream outlets. His words highlight the frustration with media entities that seem intent on pushing a singular, often misleading narrative, rather than reflecting the full spectrum of political gatherings.
The backlash to Coylar’s article has been significant, leading to speculation about why his X page is now protected. While the exact reason remains unclear, it’s evident that the reaction to his portrayal of the event has been overwhelmingly negative. The article’s disingenuous nature has sparked a wider conversation about media integrity and the importance of honest reporting.
In the face of such selective journalism, Pearson and his supporters continue to advocate for a fair representation of events, challenging narratives that do not align with reality. The incident serves as a reminder of the power of media and the responsibility that comes with it, highlighting the need for accountability and truth in reporting.
Ultimately, this controversy underscores the ongoing struggle between media outlets and those they cover. It raises questions about the motives behind certain portrayals and the impact they have on public perception. As Pearson and others push back against these narratives, they reinforce the call for diverse voices to be heard and accurately represented in the media landscape.
