Media Can’t Handle A Principled Man
Washington — particularly the part known as the media — does not know what to do with principled people. In March, the Biden administration began using Department of Defense money to pay for soldiers stationed in states that banned abortion to travel to states where the procedure is legal. Soon after that, Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., began to put a hold on all promotions and appointments for the top military officers.
On the day Speaker Kevin McCarthy announced the House would open an impeachment inquiry into the Joe Biden bribery scandal, the left’s influencers, politicians and journalists all took to social media with one message — that there’s “no evidence” implicating Biden in criminal activity related to his son’s business dealings. According to research from the MRC, they do this because they can count on network news to provide the same air cover it has since the scandal began to emerge in 2022. There’s even more evidence now, but the media still refuses to discuss it.
TV’s big three broadcast networks devoted nearly all their GOP primary coverage to Donald Trump, and 90% of that coverage was negative, according to an MRC study. From Jan. 1 through July 31, the ABC, NBC and CBS evening newscasts spent 664 minutes on Trump, more than five times the 126 they spent on Ron DeSantis and more than 10 times the 63 minutes they spent on Mike Pence.
Leftist corporate media has one view of the Biden economy, and those of us living with it tend to have another. So when Glenn Kessler of the Washington Post attempted to fact-check Sen. Tim Scott’s economic claims, MRC decided to fact-check Kessler. In the first presidential debate, Kessler challenged Scott’s claim that the average American family had lost $10,000 in spending power in Joe Biden’s economy.

THE Voices of Anti-Americanism
- “I mean, when you think about it, bombs bursting in air, rocket’s red glare, it’s all kinds of … military jargon, and the land – there’s only one phrase, ‘the land of the free,’ which is kind of nice, and the home of the brave? I don’t know. Are we the only ones who are brave on the planet? I mean all the brave people live here. I mean, it’s just stupid. I think I’m embarrassed every time I hear it.” — Bill Press on Full Court Press, June 5, 2012./span>
