					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by Tim Graham</em></p>
<p>One of the most preposterous claims from liberals is that somehow, conservatives uniquely try to win elections by using &#8220;fear,&#8221; &#8220;hate&#8221; and &#8220;division,&#8221; especially on race and religion. Democrats never use any divisive, negative tactics when trying to motivate voters. It&#8217;s like they&#8217;ve never heard <strong>Chuck Schumer</strong> saying a Republican voter-ID bill is &#8220;Jim Crow 2.0.&#8221;</p>
<p>On March 24, PBS stations debuted a long negative campaign commercial disguised as a documentary titled &#8220;<a href="https://www.pbs.org/show/white-with-fear/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">White With Fear</a>,&#8221; on how &#8220;America&#8217;s conservative political machine uses racial fault lines to gain power.&#8221;&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2026/03/pbs-smears-all-republicans-as-white-with-fear/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>The people who call themselves the &#8220;mainstream media&#8221; have a remarkable tendency to take the minority position on an 80-20 issue, most recently on requiring voters to show a photo ID at the polls. U.S. House Republicans have passed the SAVE Act, while Democrats have almost unanimously opposed it.</p>
<p>But the American people do not. Gallup pollsters report 84% of Americans support requiring photo ID to vote — 98% of Republicans, 84% of independents, and 67% of Democrats.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2026/02/jim-crow-or-common-sense-the-medias-war-on-voter-id/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>The Trump White House has officially launched a <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/mediabias/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">media-bias page</a> on its website — and judging by the hysteria from the legacy press, the Trump Administration hit a nerve. <em>Breitbart</em> <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/the-media/2025/11/29/white-house-launches-website-exposing-media-bias" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reports</a> that the new page highlights falsehoods, distortions, and slanted coverage from the usual suspects. And the reaction from those “objective journalists” tells you everything you need to know.</p>
<p>It’s exciting to see a Republican administration go on offense rather than shrink back.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2025/12/the-white-house-teenagers-and-media-bias/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by David E. Smith</em></p>
<p>Late-night host <strong>Jimmy Kimmel</strong> recently went on air to tell Americans that Antifa, designated by the Trump administration as a “major terrorist organization,&#8221; doesn’t exist. Ironically, <strong>Joe Biden</strong> said much the same during the 2020 debates, calling Antifa “an idea, not an organization.”</p>
<p>Many Democrats and their allies in the media have repeated that line for years. But if Antifa is merely an “idea,” not an organized movement bent on chaos and intimidation, then there’s no way to confront or curtail it under the law.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2025/10/antifas-playbook-the-lefts-idea-of-organized-chaos/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>Once the shock of <strong>Charlie Kirk</strong>&#8216;s murder began to wear off, it became easier to notice how today&#8217;s &#8220;news&#8221; media routinely fail to live up to their own pompous prattle about their work. They don&#8217;t &#8220;hold people accountable,&#8221; they don&#8217;t &#8220;uphold democracy,&#8221; and they aren&#8217;t &#8220;independent&#8221; or &#8220;objective.&#8221; They don&#8217;t produce &#8220;news&#8221; as much as narrative.</p>
<p>You can see this in their energetic declarations that you couldn&#8217;t possibly ascribe a leftist motive to Kirk&#8217;s shooter &#8230; and even claimed you shouldn&#8217;t try.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2025/09/the-medias-double-standard-on-political-violence/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>Liberal journalists who decry an allegedly pusillanimous White House press corps under Trump never seem to spend 10 seconds considering how &#8220;courageous&#8221; this group was under Biden.</p>
<p>CNN &#8220;Chief Media Analyst&#8221; <strong>Brian Stelter</strong> tweeted:</p>
<blockquote><p><span style="background-color: #ffff99;">&#8220;The Trump White House has sought to reshape the press corps in its favor this year, and today showcased how well the effort has succeeded.&#8221; </span></p></blockquote>
<p>Stelter was unhappy that no one ruined President Donald Trump&#8217;s Q&#38;A session in the Oval Office with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2025/08/brian-stelter-underlines-cnn-hypocrisy-on-white-house-behavior/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>A conspiracy theory is something “that explains an event or set of circumstances as the result of a secret plot by usually powerful conspirators,” according to Merriam-Webster.</p>
<p>One of those theories is coming true before our eyes with the release of newly unclassified documents by Director of National Intelligence <strong>Tulsi Gabbard</strong>.</p>
<p>These documents reveal a secret plot by the Obama administration to falsely frame President Trump as colluding with Russia to fix the 2016 election.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2025/07/daring-to-call-out-obama-officials-treasonous-conspiracy/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>A battle of perceptions has been underway since rioting began on June 6 in Los Angeles over the Trump administration’s crackdown on illegal immigrants.</p>
<p>The footage of burning vehicles and people throwing concrete blocks from an overpass to smash police car windshields might lead viewers to conclude that the “peaceful protests” have not been so peaceful.</p>
<p>You might even think President Trump was right to nationalize 2,000 troops from California’s National Guard and send in 700 Marines to protect federal buildings and quell the violence.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2025/06/believe-your-lying-eyes-about-the-l-a-riots/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>A phrase often attributed to <strong>Saul Alinsky</strong>, author of “Rules for Radicals,” or to <strong>Joseph Goebbels</strong>, Adolf Hitler’s Nazi minister of propaganda, is “Accuse your opponent of what you are doing, to create confusion and to inculcate voters against evidence of your own guilt.” Although attribution for this quote may be spurious, it continues to resonate with millions for a reason.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by Robert Knight</em></p>
<p>The only good thing to come out of COVID-19 is the public’s awakening to the fact that government officials will lie to us and the media will help them do it.</p>
<p>We might have suspected it, but it had never been so blatantly obvious, at least not since the Vietnam War or the vanishing weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.</p>
<p>If they lied to us six ways from Sunday about a pandemic and reasons to invade other countries, it’s a sure bet they have been lying to us about many other things.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2025/05/americans-are-getting-wise-to-the-lefts-chicanery/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by Tim Graham</em></p>
<p>The first excerpts of the <strong>Jake Tapper-Alex Thompson</strong> <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Original-Sin-President-Cover-Up-Disastrous-ebook/dp/B0DXCMSHVL" target="_blank" rel="noopener">book</a> on denying former President Joe Biden&#8217;s obvious mental decline have been posted, and you can already sense Democrats don&#8217;t want to deal with what they have done.</p>
<p>The book&#8217;s title is &#8220;<em>Original Sin</em>.&#8221; Why the biblical title? The authors write:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;The original sin of Election 2024 was Biden&#8217;s decision to run for re-election — followed by aggressive efforts to hide his cognitive diminishment.&#8221;</p></blockquote>&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2025/05/democrats-and-journalists-still-avoid-bidens-decline/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by Robert Knight</em></p>
<p>For the past couple of weeks, aside from bashing President Trump over tariffs, the media have been fixated on an illegal immigrant deported to El Salvador.</p>
<p><strong>Kilmar Abrego Garcia</strong>, who had been living in Maryland, is reputedly a member of the MS-13 gang, a U.S. government-designated foreign terrorist organization. He was summarily shipped off to his home country. Cue the outrage.</p>
<p>The Democratic Party and the media, in lockstep, have made this the case of the century.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2025/04/selective-due-process-concerns-exposes-medias-hypocrisy/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>The numbers speak for themselves. MSNBC is suffering through a ratings catastrophe as the disillusioned loyalists, who kept believing the network&#8217;s stable of left-wing hosts who continued to promise that Trump was an unelectable Hitler, have walked away.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">Lots of articles on how MSNBC&#39;s audience has completely collapsed &#8212; disappeared &#8212; once Kamala lost and the got disillusioned, but the full extent is shocking.</p>
<p>Their prime-time shows can&#39;t even get 75k people watching in the key demo (18-54).</p></blockquote>&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/11/media-know-they-must-change-they-wont/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a>]]></description>

<p>On Tuesday, we did it. We elected <strong>Donald Trump</strong>.</p>
<p>A friend sent me a note on social media this past Wednesday morning: “Well, he did it!”</p>
<p>That was all it said: He did it.</p>
<p>Indeed, he did.</p>
<p>On Tuesday night, after months of shaking his fist in the face of big government, Big Pharma and the Beltway oligarchs who were  threatening his life, liberty and property, Donald Trump became the president-elect.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/11/trump-will-be-our-47th-president/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>In 2008, then-presidential candidate <strong>Barack Obama</strong> said he wasn’t surprised that people from “small towns in Pennsylvania, like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, clung to [their] guns or religion.” This wasn’t a compliment. He thought those people were “weird.”</p>
<p>In 2016, former Secretary of State <strong>Hillary Clinton</strong> called the same group of people Mr. Obama disparaged a “basket of deplorables,” She went on to say we were “racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic [and] you name it,” just plain “weird.”&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/08/democrats-and-their-news-media-dont-even-try-to-hide-what-they-think-of-you/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>Within hours of her being announced as President Biden’s presumed replacement as the Democratic nominee, Vice President <strong>Kamala Harris</strong>’ moderate makeover began.</p>
<p>Journalists reflexively began gushing over her “historic” candidacy and centrist views.</p>
<p>The love bombing and sheer dishonesty is a replay of 2020, when she ran for vice president as a supposed moderate.</p>
<p>The facts loudly spoke otherwise. As a U.S. senator from California from 2017 to 2021, she had a more leftist voting record even than socialist U.S.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/07/harris-had-a-more-leftist-voting-record-than-sanders/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[<p style="font-weight: 400;"><em>Written by Tim Graham</em></p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">When the elected Democrat district attorney of Manhattan and his 12 (likely Democrat) Manhattan jurors convicted <strong>Donald Trump</strong> on artificially inflated felony counts of business accounting, you could count on leftist journalists to try to make it the Most Historic Event Ever.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">We&#8217;re not even sure it won&#8217;t all be reversed on appeal. But &#8220;historic&#8221; is their word of choice &#8230; when they like the result.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">In 1999, when <strong>Bill Clinton</strong> was impeached for lying under oath about sex with an intern named <strong>Monica Lewinsky</strong>, <strong>Geraldo Rivera</strong> was furious on the &#8220;Today&#8221; show:</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;It was a spiteful action, an action that they performed absolutely in violation of the framers&#8217; intent.</p></blockquote>&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/06/beware-when-leftist-journalists-use-founders-to-attack-trump/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a>]]></description>

<p>The national media consider themselves essential in educating the electorate, so what happens when the electorate does not consider them a trustworthy guardian of democracy?</p>
<p>The Associated Press and the American Press Institute just released a poll on the 2024 election and found only 14% of their sample expressed &#8220;a great deal of confidence in election-related information they receive from national sources.&#8221; By contrast, 46% have little or no confidence at all in the information they receive from national news organizations.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/05/little-trust-for-the-democracy-saving-media/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by David Harsanyi</em></p>
<p><strong>Robert F. Kennedy Jr</strong>. can be an unhinged leftist and crackpot, but he also happens to be correct about President <strong>Joe Biden</strong>&#8216;s attacks on constitutional order, particularly free expression.</p>
<p>Speaking to an incredulous <strong>Erin Burnett</strong> on CNN this week, Kennedy argued that Biden was a bigger threat to &#8220;democracy&#8221; than <strong>Donald Trump</strong>, a position that clashes with the media&#8217;s entire 2024 campaign messaging.</p>
<p>In a more decent world, we&#8217;d be debating which presidential candidate was better at upholding the constitutional order, rather than which one was worse.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/04/rfk-jr-is-right-about-joe-biden/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>Donald Trump&#8217;s early primary victories have started the &#8220;newsroom debates&#8221; again. Associated Press media reporter <strong>David Bauder</strong> penned a story headlined &#8220;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/trump-speech-cnn-fox-msnbc-5e006fabe97af33f448d8a6d96de9f7c" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Trump&#8217;s live appearances pose a riddle that news executives still haven&#8217;t solved.</a>&#8221;</p>
<p>So, when a newsworthy event happens — like Trump&#8217;s victory speech after the New Hampshire primary — the pro-Biden networks worry &#8220;Trump will make false statements that are difficult, if not impossible, to correct in real time — or go completely off script with something entirely unexpected.&#8221;&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/01/pro-biden-newsrooms-debate-censoring-trump/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by Dr. Everett Piper</em></p>
<p>Recently, <strong>Jeffrey Clark</strong>, an associate editor for Fox News Digital, wrote an <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/calls-for-humans-stop-having-children-go-extinct-grow-media-circles-breed" target="_blank" rel="noopener">important column</a> summarizing the growing call in media circles for “humans to go extinct.” In his article, Mr. Clark cites the oft-repeated refrain from cultural talking heads who now argue that “science proves kids are bad for the earth and that morality suggests we stop having them.”</p>
<p>Examples include <strong>Ginger Zee</strong>, a meteorologist on ABC’s “Good Morning America,” who recounted in December the tension she felt in becoming pregnant with her second child because some in her family didn’t think she would “do that again,” for the sake of the planet.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/01/the-elites-extinction-agenda-getting-rid-of-the-children/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>On Friday, Oct. 27, just hours after U.S. Representative <strong>Mike Johnson</strong> (D-LA) was elected speaker of the U.S. House by the unanimous vote of the Republican majority, CNN reporters <strong>Andrew Kaczynski</strong> and<strong> Allison Gordon</strong> posted the following: “Speaker of the House Mike Johnson has a history of harsh anti-gay language.”</p>
<p>They went on to cite several editorials Mr. Johnson wrote in the early 2000s, when he served as a constitutional attorney for the Alliance Defending Freedom, a coalition of lawyers that has more religious freedom victories before the U.S.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2023/10/u-s-speaker-mike-johnson-actually-believes-in-5000-years-of-moral-clarity-and-common-sense/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>Barely a week after the horrific October 7th Hamas terror attacks on Israel, we noticed CNN&#8217;s coverage starting to turn foul. We then noticed it on the PBS News Hour as well. Their coverage drifted away from the <a href="https://www.faithwire.com/2023/10/13/horror-stories-journalist-stands-by-coverage-of-hamas-massacring-babies-reveals-another-heartbreaking-claim/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">abhorrent murders, rapes and kidnappings</a> committed by Islamic jihadists, to a more sympathetic tone for the people of Palestine and the terrorists that they unequivocally support. ABC, CBS, and NBC &#8220;news&#8221; programs quickly followed suit.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2023/10/left-wing-media-push-hamas-propaganda/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>Everyone paying attention to the latest revelations about Hunter Biden and his energetically supportive father knows that journalists and Republican officials have opened a vein, or &#8220;the walls are closing in.&#8221; Even so, the leftist media are trying to report as little of this damaging scandal material as they possibly can.</p>
<p>We can scarcely imagine the anxious political chatter <i>inside </i>pro-Biden newsrooms, but let&#8217;s imagine it sounds something like <strong>Jen Psaki</strong>&#8216;s MSNBC show.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2023/07/are-walls-closing-in-on-the-bidens/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>White House briefings in the Biden years are often sleepy meetings compared to the <strong>Jim Acosta</strong> shriek-fests we remember under Trump. President <strong>Joe Biden</strong> pledged he would be so much nicer to the press corps. He promised to &#8220;bring transparency and truth back to the government.&#8221; But the press is much nicer to him than the other way around.</p>
<p>Biden provides far less access than Trump did. He avoids press conferences and one-on-one interviews like the plague.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2023/07/scandal-questions-go-down-the-latrine-jean-pierre/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>What is it with Republicans who try to fight the culture war with one hand tied behind their backs? They shift to a defensive crouch even when their position is clearly right.</p>
<p>G.K. Chesterton mocked this tendency years ago. Some politicians, he wrote, would loudly oppose the deadly mugging of a grandmother in a city park not because it’s immoral but because it would be a “waste of a perfectly good grandmother.”&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2023/06/gops-moral-cowardice-leads-to-more-concessions-acceptance-of-dems-unthinkable-agenda/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>As CNN looks for a new leader, former CNN host <strong>Brian Stelter</strong> proposed this as the most important question: &#8220;What should an anchor do when a guest says something untrue?&#8221;</p>
<p>The public could turn this question around: &#8220;What should a politician do when a CNN host says something untrue?&#8221; The Stelters of this world cannot imagine anyone at CNN would ever say anything false. They arrogantly presume they always defend the &#8220;truth.&#8221;&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2023/06/cnns-mostly-false-take-on-bidens-stance-on-abortion/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>I reposted a meme this week. It was a graphic of a mass of humanity, with tens of thousands of people standing shoulder to shoulder and one solitary individual standing outside, looking back at the group. The accompanying text was, “Yes, you all are wrong.” To this, I added, “It appears those of us who stood nearly alone on masks and jabs are exonerated. May the same prove true on all else woke and wrong.”&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2023/02/truth-always-wins-liberal-media-has-started-to-report-actual-facts/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>Anyone who thinks the First Amendment is best represented by the &#8220;news&#8221; media is not paying attention to the way they wage war on freedom of speech for the conservative &#8220;rabble&#8221; on social media platforms.</p>
<p>Imagine if the media had attacked new media owners <strong>Jeff Bezos</strong> or <strong>David Zaslav</strong> with the kind of venom that they&#8217;re using on Twitter owner <strong>Elon Musk</strong>. No one would suggest it&#8217;s important for the government to monitor <em>The Washington Post</em> or CNN as potential sources of misinformation.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2022/11/the-media-vs-free-speech-on-twitter/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>If you haven’t been unduly anxious lately, just open a newspaper or tune into a TV network like CNN.</p>
<p>Scaring the public is the media’s reason for being.</p>
<p>Not the suits who run the media, understand. The suits may be stylishly “woke,” but they’re in the business to make a buck. I’m talking about the so-called journalists. They are steeped in Marxist theory they learned in college and which they never outgrew.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2021/12/the-looting-partys-media-scare-machine/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>If there are riots now in America, what will it be like 20 years from now if the <em>New York Times</em> gets its way?</p>
<p>The <em>New York Times</em> sponsored The 1619 Project, which postulates that America’s real beginnings as a nation are when the first African slaves were brought over….to Jamestown in 1619.</p>
<p>Many historians note that this is a distortion of our nation’s roots. Worse, it makes young people turn against this country.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2021/05/teaching-kids-that-america-was-always-racist/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>This week, <em>Project Veritas</em> released a video of <strong>Charlie Chester</strong>, a CNN technical director, talking to a woman who recorded him during what he thought were &#8220;dates&#8221;; she had purposely targeted him and videoed him surreptitiously. While you might not agree with her tactics, her videos reveal that CNN was involved in what proved to be a successful media campaign to control the political process.</p>

<p>U.S. Senator <strong>John Cornyn</strong> (R-TX) came under blistering attack from <em>Washington Post</em> scribe <strong>Aaron Blake</strong> for having wondered whether President <strong>Joe Biden</strong> is really in charge, since he&#8217;s kept an extremely low profile with the press. Blake took after the senator for implying the Trump spin that old Joe has lost a few mental gears and is something of a &#8220;Manchurian Candidate.&#8221; &#8220;It&#8217;s a baseless and ugly bit of innuendo,&#8221; Blake wrote.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2021/04/the-press-is-infrastructure-for-biden/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>Last Monday, CNN host <strong>Don Lemon</strong> strutted onto the world’s stage to declare with ex-cathedra confidence that Christian orthodoxy and its 2,000 years of church teaching on sexual dignity, sexual morality and about God himself is wrong.</p>
<p>“I think that the Catholic Church and many other churches really need to reexamine themselves,” said Mr. Lemon, “[Their teaching] is not what God is about.

<p>President Biden&#8217;s first formal press conference is in the books, and it was deeply embarrassing to anyone who thinks the media&#8217;s job is to hold presidents accountable.</p>
<p>Taxpayer-enabled PBS White House correspondent <strong>Yamiche Alcindor</strong> was the worst. She complimented the president, saying: &#8220;You&#8217;ve said over and over again that immigrants shouldn&#8217;t come to this country right now; this isn&#8217;t the time to come. That message is not being received. Instead, the perception of you that got you elected as a moral, decent man is the reason why a lot of immigrants are coming to this country and are trusting you with unaccompanied minors.&#8221;&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2021/03/the-pro-biden-press-corps-is-deeply-embarrassing/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>Liberals love to insist they&#8217;re on the &#8220;right side of history,&#8221; and their confidence crests in the liberal dominance among historians. Just as the liberal media dominate our evaluation of day-to-day developments, liberals count on their historians to dominate our evaluation of the decades behind us.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s not just historians but our taxpayer-funded storytellers, like the insufferable PBS documentarian <strong>Ken Burns</strong>. On the day before President-elect <strong>Joe Biden</strong>&#8216;s inauguration, NPR&#8217;s &#8220;Morning Edition&#8221; presented him as an American treasure with no partisan bias.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2021/01/beware-those-hysterical-historians/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>Big Tech&#8217;s rush to take down and ban social media accounts or de-platform entire websites that they believe in some way caused the horrible rioting at the Capitol is based on fear — that Joe Biden&#8217;s inauguration will devolve into another riot. Or that there will be riots at state capitols.</p>
<p>Social media platforms such as Twitter are only focused on President Donald Trump and his millions of devoted fans. They don&#8217;t seem to focus on violent thoughts on the left, most prominently the Hollywood left.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2021/01/hollywood-elites-and-violent-thoughts/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>Journalists have strongly slanted the &#8220;news&#8221; during the Trump era in order to destroy Donald Trump&#8217;s presidency, and to destroy it early if possible. Their actions betray that they feel they have important and influential platforms from which they can and should run America in between elections. The voters can have a say for about two weeks every two years.</p>
<p>Recall 2004, when <em>Newsweek</em>&#8216;s <strong>Evan Thomas</strong> admitted the press would go all in for Democratic presidential and vice presidential nominees <strong>John Kerry</strong> and <strong>John Edwards</strong>, and that the effort would &#8220;be worth maybe 15 points.&#8221;&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2020/11/the-news-that-biden-voters-didnt-know/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by David Limbaugh</em></p>
<p>The fascist left regularly typifies the very qualities it professes to abhor. The only thing more pronounced than its totalitarianism is its stunning lack of self-awareness.</p>
<p>It’s ironic that leftists think of themselves as liberals, as the term “liberal” is historically and etymologically connected to the concept of liberty. Not only are they merely selective champions of liberty but the logical extension of their agenda is an eradication of liberty, from socialism to U.S.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2020/09/the-richness-of-leftist-fascists-decrying-fascism/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>Traditionally this should be a good week for the Democrat Party with their national convention. Traditionally too, the announcement of a running-mate, the <strong>Joe Biden</strong> and <strong>Kamala Harris</strong> ticket, should be a boost. <em>But is it?</em></p>
<p>A new<a href="https://www.cnn.com/2020/08/16/politics/cnn-poll-biden-trump-august/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"> CNN poll</a> now shows the presidential race at a virtual tie. President <strong>Donald J. Trump</strong> is down 4 points, but the poll’s margin of error is 3.7 percent, making it a possible tie. In many battleground states Trump is just 1 point behind, according to CNN, <em>no friend of the President</em>.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2020/08/fallout-or-a-boost-from-a-vp-pick/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p><strong>John Kasich</strong> wants people to believe he is supporting Joe Biden for president because his &#8220;conscience&#8221; compels it.</p>
<p>Assuming Kasich is being honest about this, a rational observer can draw only one conclusion: He is a moral idiot.</p>
<p>On Monday, the <em>Columbus Dispatch</em> ran a story with this headline: &#8220;<a href="https://www.dispatch.com/news/20200817/former-ohio-gov-john-kasich-says-conscience-drove-him-to-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Kasich Says Conscience Led Him to Biden</a>.&#8221;</p>
<p>In an interview with that paper, this former Republican governor of Ohio presented himself as a moral hero for backing the former vice president.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2020/08/kasichs-conscience-prefers-a-president-wholl-put-boys-in-girls-locker-rooms/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>What would we do without virtue signalers instructing us about how hopelessly racist America is?</p>
<p>They’ve been out in force even more than usual since the tragic death of <strong>George Floyd</strong> and the riots that followed.  It’s hard to escape their false narrative, peddled by CNN, the major networks, every major newspaper and most politicians.</p>
<p>They say America has made little or no racial progress in the last 60 years, that the police are all wannabe Bull Connors, that income inequality is enforced by “institutional racism,” and that “America is a failed social experiment,” as Harvard professor <strong>Cornel West</strong> says.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2020/06/how-to-cultivate-racism-and-hate-in-america/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

Having asked the American people whether they approved or disapproved of the handling of the COVID-19 pandemic by a host of various leaders and institutions, there was only one that found more disapproval than approval, on average.</p>
<p>President Trump? No, by a wide 22 points, Americans approved of his leadership.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2020/03/jake-tapper-and-chuck-todd-prove-again-why-media-trust-is-so-low-2/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>Some issues transcend partisan politics. This is one of them.</p>
<p>In a special debate on climate change hosted by CNN in September, United States presidential candidate U.S. Senator <strong>Bernie Sanders</strong> (D-VT) suggested using taxpayer money to fund abortion in poor countries. He believes doing so would help fight climate change.</p>
<p>In the debate, an audience member said, “Human population growth has more than doubled in the past 50 years.

CNN anchor <strong>Brian Stelter</strong>, the man who hosts a program called <em>Reliable Sources</em> no less, stared at me through the camera in the most serious tones he could muster. Discussing the upcoming days in the impeachment inquiry, Stelter motioned noticeably at the screen next to him and cautioned,</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by Robert Knight</em></p>
<p>This past week the Democrat media went ballistic over Republican congressmen and women “invading” the secret basement room where <strong>Adam B. Schiff</strong> is stirring his pot o’ impeachment soup.</p>
<p><em>Washington Post</em> fake conservative <strong>Jennifer Rubin</strong>’s Oct. 23<sup>rd</sup> column was titled, “<a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/10/23/so-much-due-process-republican-mob-crashes-secure-hearing-room/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">So much for ‘due process’: Republican mob crashes secure hearing room</a>.”</p>
<p>Yes, they did, last Wednesday, showing that some of the Trump backbone has been transplanted.</p>

<p>Is the left once again embracing Malthusian population control in order to save the planet?</p>
<p>Of all the preposterous proposals put forward by the Democratic presidential candidates during the CNN climate change town hall meeting last week, the dumbest wasn&#8217;t outlawing plastic straws, incandescent light bulbs or air travel. It wasn&#8217;t the contention that climate change is the globe&#8217;s greatest threat since World War II. It wasn&#8217;t even the fantastical hypothesis that hurricanes are racist because they target &#8220;communities of color&#8221; more than white areas.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2019/09/democrats-once-again-embrace-population-control-to-save-the-planet/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by L. Brent Bozell III and Tim Graham</em></p>
<p>In the midst of the daily tarring and feathering of President Trump by our &#8220;objective&#8221; press, we are treated to some precious moments where these badly disguised political operatives write something unintentionally hilarious.</p>
<p>Take, for example, <em>The New York Times</em> story on Aug. 25 headlined &#8220;<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/25/us/politics/trump-allies-news-media.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Trump&#8217;s Allies Scour Internet to Punish Press</a>.&#8221; Reporters <strong>Ken Vogel</strong> and <strong>Jeremy Peters</strong> ominously warned, &#8220;A loose network of conservative operatives allied with the White House is pursuing what they say will be an aggressive operation to discredit news organizations deemed hostile to President Trump by publicizing damaging information about journalists.&#8221;&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2019/08/they-dish-it-out-but-cant-take-it/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>It is insidious to watch the left do its dirty work of demonization. It starts with a narrative constructed on false accusations and misleading innuendos. Then, the narrative is repeated enough until it becomes accepted truth. Finally, wider conclusions are drawn from it, casting ugly aspersions on the innocent.</p>
<p>In the current iteration, the narrative began with accusations that President <strong>Donald Trump</strong> was a white supremacist and racist, fueled by <a href="https://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2019/03/21/trump_didnt_call_neo-nazis_fine_people_heres_proof_139815.html" rel="nofollow">selective quotes</a> from his Charlottesville press conference.</p></div></div></div></div></div></div>&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2019/08/the-left-stokes-racist-flames-and-demonizes-millions/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a>]]></description>

<p>Perfect.  It was perfect.  What <strong>Don Lemon</strong>, one of the most unscrupulous actors posing as a journalist on television today, did to a black minister live on television last week stands as the perfect depiction of why people hate the media, why the president’s punches against them always land so forcefully, and why his employer CNN is cratering to what seems like unsustainably low ratings.</p>
<p>It was also perfect that not long before, CNN’s resident “senior media reporter” <strong>Oliver Darcy</strong> had criticized Fox News’ resident loudmouth <strong>Tomi Lahren</strong> for “reprehensible commentary.” &#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2019/08/cnn-is-a-disgrace-and-don-lemon-is-a-huge-problem/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>In the past two months, the news media was filled with pictures and articles about the melting of the Greenland ice sheet. Unfortunately, to their dismay, the sensationalists’ dream of a Greenland melt was halted when the ice levels jumped back up to record highs.</p>
<p>This is just one of the countless incidences in which climate doomsayers have hijacked weather phenomena and used them to push their climate doomsday theories.</p>

<p>President Trump’s enemies provided yet another disturbing glimpse of the bona fide fake news factory into which the mainstream media has morphed.</p>
<p>Late last week, <strong>Ian Bremmer</strong> tweeted a made-up quote from President Trump. Bremmer is one of the most well-known foreign policy experts in America. He didn’t offer any hint that the statement was fake. “President Trump in Tokyo: ‘Kim Jong Un is smarter and would make a better President than Sleepy Joe Biden,&#8217;” Bremmer wrote.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2019/06/a-disturbing-glimpse-into-the-manufacturing-of-fake-news/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>Is it true that Donald Trump&#8217;s bad habits are contagious? Is it true that his Democratic opponents and, even more, his critics in the press are increasingly given to terminological inexactitudes, if not downright lies?</p>
<p>Sure looks like it. Last week, large parts of the press — we&#8217;re looking at you, CNN and MSNBC — were gleefully reporting and commenting on the BuzzFeed story about President Trump having allegedly ordered his former personal lawyer <strong>Michael Cohen</strong> to lie to members of special prosecutor Robert Mueller&#8217;s staff.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2019/01/does-the-media-deserve-to-be-respected-and-believed/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>“The evidence is overwhelming,” insists Lemon. But is it, really? There are several reasons why it is a false claim that “right-wing extremists” are a bigger threat to Americans than Islamic jihad terrorists. “Lemon pointed to <a href="https://www.gao.gov/assets/690/683984.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a recent Government Accountability Office report</a> that shows that since the 9/11 attacks in 2001, far-right violent extremists have killed 106 people in 62 attacks in the United States, while radical Islamist violent extremists have killed 119 people in 23 attacks.”&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2018/11/cnns-don-lemon-doubles-down-on-false-claim-that-white-men-are-biggest-terror-threat-in-this-country/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<div class="article_body">
<p>CNN, famous for fake news, focuses their 24-7 news cycle on anything damaging to President <strong>Trump</strong>, even if they have to provoke it or make it up. Their low <a href="http://dailycaller.com/2018/06/26/cnn-food-network-ratings/">television ratings</a> reflect the lack of public interest in their incessant Trump bashing. In late June, “In primetime, CNN lost to HGTV, Investigation Discovery, the History Channel, the Discovery Channel, and the Food Network.”</p>
<p>When CNN is not Trump bashing, they are virtue signaling to fellow leftists.</p></div>&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2018/08/cnn-takes-the-bait-on-diversity/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by Michelle Malkin</em></p>
<p>It&#8217;s quite simple: Some political relatives are more equal than others.</p>
<p>Agenda-driven journalists love to exploit familial dysfunction when a prominent politician is conservative and his or her kinfolk espouse liberal views. When a vengeful offspring, sibling, cousin or distant relation wants to wreak havoc, instant fame and adoration are just a tweet or call away. The media schadenfreude over such bloody bloodline battles is thicker than California wildfire smoke.</p>
<p>By contrast, relatives who openly challenge powerful Democrats are dismissed as gadflies and publicity hounds.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2018/08/the-theory-of-political-relative-relativity/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>The U.S. Supreme Court’s longest serving justice announced his retirement shortly after casting the deciding vote on a string of decisions that were seen as wins for the conservative side of the bench. Kennedy’s stepping down didn’t come as a surprise. There have long been rumors in Washington that he was considering hanging up his robe. With a Republican-controlled Congress and White House, the timing couldn’t be better, so as to ensure his seat would be filled with someone from the right side of the ideological spectrum.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2018/07/good-riddance-to-justice-anthony-kennedy/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p><strong>Rep. Debbie Dingell</strong> (D-MI) appeared on CNN’s “New Day” on Tuesday to talk about whether Democrats would work with President Donald Trump and his agenda in 2018 and was greeted by a conspiracy-minded CNN host.</p>
<p>Toward the end of the segment, CNN host <strong>Alisyn Camerota</strong> brought up the recent GOP tax bill that Trump signed into law and how numerous businesses were giving their employees bonuses and raising the minimum wages at their companies because of it.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2017/12/watch-cnn-worries-tax-bill-will-help-gop-hints-at-conspiracy-theory/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>CNN has just published a <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2017/08/17/us/hate-groups-us-map-trnd/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">map and listing</a> of “all the active hate groups where you live.” I’ve got serious problems with lists like this, but apparently CNN doesn’t. It seems to me that if they believe in “hate group” lists, they really ought to include themselves on it.</p>
<p>A list like this one, published days after Charlottesville, is, in theory, meant to warn Americans against groups that might carry similar violence into other cities.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2017/08/cnns-hate-group-list-smears-some-great-organizations/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>For all his vast power, the President of the United States—any president—is always at a structural disadvantage in a “war” with the media. The First Amendment protects press rights to criticize the government, and everyone expects such criticism. But if government—or the president, as head of government—strikes back by assailing media, there’s an uneasy hint of bullying or oppression.</p>
<p>President <strong>Donald Trump</strong> isn’t exceptional in generating media hostility, but <strong>Barack Obama</strong> was exceptional in avoiding such scrutiny for eight years.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2017/07/double-standards-in-the-war-between-white-house-and-media/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p><em>Written by Amber Athey</em></p>
<p>[Last week] CNN was accused of staging a Muslim-led anti-terror protest after the London terror attacks. Now, more footage has dropped that shows what happened on the scene before the CNN shot was taken.</p>
<p>A <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cTdqZnu6Gao" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Youtube video</a> taken by <strong>Claire Jordan</strong> shows her milling around the scene and “protest” prior to CNN lining up the protesters for their on-air shot.</p>

<p><em>Written by Joseph Curl</em></p>
<p>CNN makes no bones about being anti-Trump in every way. The cable news channel that many know as the Clinton News Network was all about Hillary throughout the election – and even though Trump trounced her, the network execs have decided to target the president at every turn.</p>
<p>They&#8217;ve covered non-stories galore while ignoring huge Hillary scandals. And they absolutely love fact-checking through the use of chyrons, like <a href="http://www.mediaite.com/tv/cnn-chyron-smacks-eric-trump-for-saying-father-apologized-for-khan-attacks/">this</a> and <a href="http://www.mediaite.com/online/cnn-uses-chyrons-to-fact-check-a-trump-speech-on-nukes-as-he-gives-it/">this</a> and <a href="http://www.mediaite.com/online/cnn-brings-back-the-fact-checking-chyron-to-say-obama-didnt-found-isis/">this</a>.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2017/04/how-desperate-is-cnn-to-bash-trump-this-desperate/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p><em>Written by Bryan Fischer</em></p>
<p>By now the nation is fully aware of a heinous crime committed in Chicago against a mentally challenged young man who is white. Four black adults kidnapped him, bound him with duct tape, tortured him for days as he huddled in a corner, made him drink water out of a toilet, and threatened him with a knife which they used to cut his scalp.</p>
<p>He managed to escape and the police found him wandering dazed and traumatized in a T-shirt and shorts in the January cold.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2017/01/every-crime-is-a-hate-crime/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>The Democrats’ “sit in” on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives is built on a narrative that casts them as heroes for the people who want to pass “gun safety” laws, and the Republican leadership as so uncaring they won’t move to stop domestic terrorists from buying guns legally for fear this might anger the National Rifle Association.</p>
<p>This is a false narrative.</p>
<p>The deception begins with polls. A <a href="http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/2016/images/06/20/cnn_orc_poll_june_20.pdf" target="_blank">CNN/ORC poll</a> conducted June 16-19, is a good example.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2016/06/democrats-sit-in-for-secret-lists-and-maybe-even-a-police-state/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p><em>Written by Raymond Ibrahim</em></p>
<p>Two events recently transpired that forced mainstream media to address a question they habitually dodge: Is Islam intrinsically violent?  First, on New Year’s Day, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi &#8212; a world leader, and a Muslim &#8212; did the unthinkable when he publicly asserted that <a href="http://www.raymondibrahim.com/from-the-arab-world/egypts-sisi-islamic-thinking-is-antagonizing-the-entire-world/">Islamic texts and thinking </a>have made the Muslim world a scourge to humanity. The <a href="http://www.raymondibrahim.com/islam/the-significance-of-sisis-speech/">MSM ignored it </a>until, as if to prove his point, Muslim gunmen shouting “Allahu Akbar” killed a dozen people in offices of a satirical newspaper in Paris.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2015/01/liberal-media-says-judaism-christianity-as-violent-as-islam/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>
