This week I had a new Facebook “friend” send me this note: “Upon liking your professional page a minute ago, Facebook warned me that your page ‘has repeatedly shared false information.’”
Because communicating with a real human being at Facebook’s Ministry of Truth is more difficult than talking with your dead uncle at a Madam Blavatsky seance, perhaps this open letter to Mark Zuckerberg is in order.
Your Eminence Mr. Z,
I have recently been informed that I am guilty of posting “false information” on your social media platform.… Continue Reading

Comments Off on An Open Letter to Mark Zuckerberg
Written by Ken Blackwell
President Trump’s enemies provided yet another disturbing glimpse of the bona fide fake news factory into which the mainstream media has morphed.
Late last week, Ian Bremmer 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,’” Bremmer wrote.… Continue Reading

Comments Off on A Disturbing Glimpse Into the Manufacturing of Fake News
Written by Carmel Kookogey
Tuesday on the radio, LevinTV host Mark Levin explained why he believes the media is the most important issue facing Americans today.
Levin read from an article he discusses in his upcoming book, “Unfreedom of the Press.” The article, written after the 2016 election by CBS News digital political correspondent Will Rahn, detailed D.C. journalists’ anguish after Donald Trump’s victory. The reporter admitted the mainstream media missed the story, while smugly mocking the people — Trump’s supporters — who knew better what was going on.… Continue Reading

What kind of Twilight Zone are we living in when Democrats pretend that the mainstream media are objective journalists and Fox News is an arm of the Trump administration?
People are always talking about media bias, so why am I bringing this up now?
Well, because of two news alerts that popped up on my phone. First, I read that the Democratic National Committee is refusing to partner with Fox News for the 2020 primary debates.… Continue Reading

Comments Off on Hey Liberals, On Media Bias, Please Remove the Plank from Your Own Eye
Written by Walker Wildmon
Democrats and liberals have used a strategy, again and again, to try to win power, and it is by calling others, their opponents, liars, haters, racists, and more. Often this is just an example of psychologically projecting onto opponents their own actions they have taken or are willing to take. But you won’t see many of these examples of liberal or Democrat deception in the media called out (visit here to see what other media sites won’t fairly discuss).… Continue Reading

CNN, famous for fake news, focuses their 24-7 news cycle on anything damaging to President Trump, even if they have to provoke it or make it up. Their low television ratings 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.”
When CNN is not Trump bashing, they are virtue signaling to fellow leftists.

Comments Off on CNN Takes the Bait on Diversity
Written by Jan LaRue
The anti-Trump media are comparing President Donald Trump to Joseph Stalin because the president fires back at his critics.
An allusion to the wisdom of philosophers residing in the joint applies to media whiners: “if you can’t do the time, don’t do the slime.”
The president’s daily dose of name-calling by media includes the following: he’s Hitler, Stalin, racist, Mussolini, Mao, Pol Pot, racist, Nero, racist, mentally deranged, tyrant, racist, unfit, fascist, racist, dictator, hateful, racist, liar, illegitimate, colluder of all things Russian, schmuck, jackass, warmonger, and racist, and that’s just MSNBC.… Continue Reading

Comments Off on Trump and the Media War
Written by Autumn Price Johnson
President Trump’s popularity is soaring among voters in spite of round-the-clock attacks from CNN’s Jim Acosta and others in the Fake News industry.
“When they see the anger from the media – the seething rage against this president, it drives people to the president’s corner,” Republican National Committee spokesperson Kaley McEnany said on the Todd Starnes Radio Show.
McEnany cited a new Rasmussen poll showing President Trump has a current approval rating of 48%, while former President Barack Obama had an approval rating of 46% at the same point in his presidency.… Continue Reading

Comments Off on Trump is More Popular Than Obama and it’s Driving the Fake Newsers Nuts
Written by David Limbaugh
The left and Trump-opposing right are predictably annoyed at President Trump’s persistent description of the liberal media as “fake news.” Like it or not, the term as he uses it has merit.
Trump’s opponents hysterically claim he threatens the free press when he uses that term to describe them, just as they accuse him of other alleged abuses of constitutional power. In fact, unlike President Obama, Trump has governed within his constitutional authority.… Continue Reading

On the last day of bad old last year, Lake Superior State University released its 43rd annual List of Words Banished from the Queen’s English for Misuse, Overuse and General Uselessness.
The ripest for excision was “fake news.” “Let that sink in.”
I mean, “let that sink in” was another “impactful” phrase needing banning. As was (can we get an Amen?) “impactful.” (Most banned words are those that fill the air in corporate meetings.)… Continue Reading
