<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>

<p style="font-weight: 400;">Forever earnest <strong>Brian Stelter</strong> tweeted out his late-night appearance on <em>CNN</em> with <strong>Abby Phillip</strong>.</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;MSNBC&#8217;s Maddow is right to be thinking aloud about the possible repercussions of a second Trump term,&#8221; he typed. &#8220;Other media types and political veterans are doing the same thing. What might &#8220;retribution&#8221; look like? What are the pressure points that Trump could target?&#8221;</p>
</blockquote>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">In a softball email interview with <strong>Maddow</strong>, <em>CNN&#8217;s</em> <strong>Oliver Darcy</strong> warned about the MAGA crowd:</p>

<p>When Biden aide <strong>Ian Sams</strong> wanted to leak his strongly worded memo to &#8220;Editorial Leadership at U.S. News Media Organizations,&#8221; he chose CNN media reporter <strong>Oliver Darcy</strong>, who is one of many enthusiastic White House spinners at CNN. Darcy and CNN didn&#8217;t have enough self-respect to push back on Sams for implying they needed to be lectured on going soft on Republicans.</p>
<p>Instead, in reporting this administration&#8217;s &#8220;breaking&#8221; list of demands, the incredibly servile Darcy claimed Sams was right.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2023/09/white-house-whips-liberal-media-for-not-being-pro-biden-enough/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p><strong>Brian Stelter</strong> and <strong>Oliver Darcy</strong>, CNN&#8217;s in-house cheerleaders for censoring or squelching conservative media outlets, celebrated a letter in which Democrats on the U.S. House Energy and Commerce Committee pressed TV providers to punish right-wing spreaders of so-called &#8220;misinformation.&#8221;</p>
<p>California U.S. Representatives <strong>Anna Eshoo</strong> and <strong>Jerry McNerney</strong> asked, &#8220;What moral or ethical principles (including those related to journalistic integrity, violence, medical information, and public health) do you apply in deciding which channels to carry or when to take adverse actions against a channel?&#8221;&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2021/02/cnn-should-shut-up-about-misinformation/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>If I hadn’t watched the clip twice, I wouldn’t have actually believed what I was seeing. 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>
<blockquote>
<p class="has-background has-very-light-gray-background-color">“Some people are going to insult your intelligence in the days ahead.”</p></blockquote>&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2019/11/how-long-can-cnn-justify-keeping-brian-stelter-and-oliver-darcy/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a>]]></description>

<p>Feverishly covering the story that noted left-leaning, pro-LGBT news anchor <strong>Shepard Smith</strong> had abruptly left Fox News after 23 years, CNN’s “senior media reporter” <strong>Oliver Darcy</strong> expressed his stoic concern about what this meant for the future at Fox:</p>

<p>First of all, I understand the potshot at Fox. Darcy is attempting to sustain a career at a supposed news network that, far from being Fox’s rival, is <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/cnn-ratings-don-lemon" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label=" (opens in a new tab)">struggling</a> to even compete with the ratings of Hallmark Channel, Investigation Discovery, and TLC in primetime.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2019/10/cnn-seems-blissfully-unaware-that-they-are-a-punchline/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></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>
