					<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>If the national media can be counted on to spin anything dramatically toward the Democrats, it&#8217;s a government shutdown. They feel passionately that the Democrats are the Party of Government, and the Republicans are the Haters of Government, so who naturally favors shutting it all down?</p>
<p>Even before the shutdown occurred, NPR and PBS issued their poll warning Republicans would get more of the blame than Democrats. That&#8217;s why those partisan hacks deserved defunding.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2025/10/shutdown-spin-how-the-media-always-blames-republicans/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>As the world of &#8220;public&#8221; 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&#8217;re not simply arrogant. They sound remarkably insincere.</p>
<p>Start with a man named <strong>Michael Tribble</strong>, the chief content officer at WAMU, the NPR station in the nation&#8217;s capital. He sent out a fundraising email after the U.S. Senate rebuke, oozing to their liberal supporters: &#8220;You&#8217;re part of a community that believes facts matter, that context matters, and that journalism has the power to bring us closer together.&#8221;&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2025/07/the-arrogant-media-are-not-bringing-us-closer-together/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<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>

<p>The Corporation for Public Broadcasting is in the news again.</p>
<p>Kermit the Frog, the iconic “Sesame Street” Muppet, will give the 2025 commencement address at the University of Maryland.</p>
<p>Kermit’s appearance will coincide with the 65th anniversary of the graduation of UM’s <strong>Jim Henson</strong>, who was awarded a degree in home economics in 1960. In a press release, “Kermit” said he would keep the address upbeat, even though, as he put it, “It’s hard to be green.”&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2025/04/will-the-gop-finally-end-pbs-and-npr-subsidies/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by Tim Graham</em></p>
<p><strong>Joe Biden</strong> may still hold the office of President of the United States, but the media are treating him like he&#8217;s anything but a newsmaker. For much of Biden&#8217;s presidency, reporters were much more energized to cover the apparent menace of <strong>Donald Trump</strong> than agitate the officials that were always hiding Biden. Now he seems invisible.</p>
<p>On Dec. 15, the president spoke to a Democratic National Committee holiday party. Any reporter would expect a pep talk, with all the echoes of &#8220;we&#8217;ll get them next time.&#8221;&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/12/the-invisible-president-lies-without-consequence/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>Last September, when President Joe Biden gave a nasty speech in front of a blood-red backdrop at Independence Hall, proclaiming, &#8220;Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our Republic,&#8221; PBS streamed this harsh rhetoric live with no &#8220;explanatory&#8221; text on screen for charges the Republicans are authoritarians.</p>
<p>But on June 13, when Trump spoke in New Jersey after being arraigned in Florida, the PBS livestream felt inexorably compelled to insert opinions on screen.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2023/06/inflammatory-pbs-warns-about-trumps-rhetoric/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>The easiest layup in proving the &#8220;mainstream media&#8221; is hyperpartisan is to study how they cover congressional hearings. After two years of obsessive media promotion and congratulation and live coverage of the Pelosi-picked panel on Jan. 6, the network &#8220;newscasts&#8221; can&#8217;t locate a hearing now with two hands.</p>
<p>On March 1, the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee questioned Biden administration Attorney General <strong>Merrick Garland</strong> for the first time in the new Congress. The hearing was not devoid of newsworthiness.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2023/03/congressional-hearings-about-team-biden-die-in-darkness/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<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>
