The Arrogant Media Are Not ‘Bringing Us Closer Together’

Written by Tim Graham

As the world of “public” broadcasting faces the rebuke of Congress rescinding its billions of dollars, it spurs a broader thought about the arrogance of liberal journalists at national media outlets. They’re not simply arrogant. They sound remarkably insincere.

Start with a man named Michael Tribble, the chief content officer at WAMU, the NPR station in the nation’s capital. He sent out a fundraising email after the U.S. Senate rebuke, oozing to their liberal supporters: “You’re part of a community that believes facts matter, that context matters, and that journalism has the power to bring us closer together.”… Continue Reading

Why Does the Left Always Root For the Bad Guys?

Written by Dana Pico

Have you noticed? The ‘heroes’ of the American left, like Michael Brown, George Floyd, Freddie Gray, and Trayvon Martin were all bad guys? Mr Floyd was a convicted felon and drug addict, caught in the act of passing counterfeit money, Mr Brown had just roughed up a shopkeeper half his size, and then attempted to assault a police officer. Mr Martin had assaulted George Zimmerman. Mr Gray had a criminal record with 18 prior arrests, on drug charges, three separate assault charges, and minor crimes and had spent time in jail.… Continue Reading

Believe Your Lying Eyes About The L.A. Riots

Written by Robert Knight

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.

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.

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.… Continue Reading

SPOTLIGHT: Supporting Police As The Body Of Christ

Written by Alyssa Sonnenburg

This episode of Illinois Family Spotlight features Dan Marquardt of We Love Police, an organization that dedicates itself to highlighting the untold good of police officers.

“We Love Police… spotlights the untold GOOD of our police officers… Through various resources, we uplift our police and their families holistically. Story by story, we will elevate the way Americans view our police…”

It has been well-documented that police officers have increasingly become demonized in our culture– especially since the George Floyd incident and BLM riots in 2020:

“A growing body of research has found that, after protests draw public attention to officer-involved killings, police officers become less proactive, pulling back from enforcing the law or other practices aimed at ensuring public safety due to fear of criticism, lawsuits, or low morale.”

Pritzker Calls for “Summer of Love” 2.0?

What to Expect at the Democratic National Convention

Written by Robert Knight

The Democratic National Convention convenes on today and runs through Thursday, Aug. 22.

“More than 15,000 members of the media will be in Chicago to cover the convention,” the convention website informs us. That is, they’re supposed to be there to cover it, not act as delegates. But it’ll work out the same way.

The media will help Democrats create a misleading portrait of the party to pump into America’s living rooms.… Continue Reading

Redefining ‘the middle’: Pelosi, Walz and Modern Democrats

Written by Robert Knight

Representative Nancy Pelosi, the former U.S. House speaker and one of the most prolific gaslighters in history, let out enough gas this week to power the West Coast.

Asked about the Democrats’ choice of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz to run for vice president alongside presidential nominee Kamala Harris, she emitted: “Tim Walz I know very well. He served in the House. To characterize him as left is so unreal. It’s just not — he’s right down the middle.… Continue Reading

Harris the Crime Fighter?

Written by Thomas Hampson

At a campaign rally on August 1st, Kamala Harris, while simultaneously taking a shot at Donald Trump, boasted of her superior crime-fighting ability, especially of her prosecutorial experience and skills. Using a cringe-worthy fake southern accent, Harris said:

“As many of you know, before I was elected Vice President and before I was elected a United States Senator, I was an elected Attorney General and an elected District Attorney. And before that, I was a courtroom prosecutor.

Grandma’s J6 Case Highlights Justice Double Standard

Written by Daniel Horowitz

Have you ever wondered what our jails and prisons would look like had the Black Lives Matter rioters of 2020 been given the “January 6 treatment”? Well, it’s hard to envision such a parallel universe. We don’t have enough jail cells to house the tens of thousands — if not hundreds of thousands — of individuals who would be languishing in prison for years based on the January 6 standard of justice.… Continue Reading

NPR’s Lurch to the Left

Written by Robert Knight

For years, those of us in the media have known that National Public Radio could also be called National People’s Radio.

It’s no secret that tax-subsidized NPR has leaned left since its inception in 1970. But the network had some good reporting and used to keep its most radical elements mostly in check.

Public radio even features discussions pitting conservatives against liberals on various issues. I did some of those when I worked as a cultural policy analyst for the Family Research Council and Concerned Women for America.… Continue Reading
