A journalist who covers faith and religion is describing how she stumbled into a eye-opening story: Some big names among Trump-hating evangelicals used left-wing sources to fund their Bible study intended to put the Church to sleep. Megan Basham, a Daily Wire reporter, recently had her curiosity piqued when reading a new Tim Alberta book about religion. Flipping through the pages, she discovered a Bible study entitled “The After Party – toward better Christian politics,” which is praised in the evangelical-bashing book. That forthcoming Bible study was created by New York Times columnist David French, Russell Moore of Christianity Today,...

This week, a racist mass shooter massacred 10 people and wounded three others at a Buffalo, New York, supermarket. The shooter was a white supremacist; his hate-filled 180-page screed about why he had committed the shooting was replete with neo-Nazi sentiments. According to the shooter, he had to slaughter innocent black Americans in order to prevent the white population of the United States from being crowded out. "We are experiencing an invasion on a level never seen before in history," wrote the perverse murderer. "This is ethnic replacement. This is cultural replacement. This is racial replacement. This is WHITE GENOCIDE."...

Imagine that you’re the governor of some state, perhaps out in the Midwest. At least seven different women have come forward accusing you of sexually harassing or molesting them. Suppose, as well, that you happen to be a Republican. The Cuomo’s of the NationAs successful as you might have been in holding on to your post for the first six accusations, how long would you last after the seventh woman has come forward?As any level headed person would conclude, you wouldn’t be able to hang on for long. The press would hammer you every day. People on your staff would...

The New York Times spent an estimated $2 million on an advertisement during the Oscars broadcast in February. Glamorous singer and actress Janelle Monae stood on the seashore selling The Times' "1619 Project," which dramatically insists that America began 400 years ago when a ship carrying slaves from Africa landed at Hampton, Virginia. The commercial closed with the on-screen messages "The truth can change how we see the world" and "The truth is worth it," followed by The New York Times logo. But on March 11, The Times felt pressed to publish an "update," a "clarification" on this grand, brand-building...

Google is by far the most used search engine in the world. Think about that. Left-wingers seem to hate the late Roger Ailes, who died May 18 at 77, more than they hate any other conservatives or Republicans. This hatred manifests itself in Google’s search results which are dramatically skewed in favor of articles attacking the extremely influential founder of Fox News, Ian Miles Cheong of Heat Street discovered. (See screen grab of search results above.)

On the same day, September 27, 2016, nine days before the first presidential debate between Clinton and Trump, a Somali American, Dahir Adan, stabbed nine people in a Minneapolis mall and an Afghan American, Ahmad Rahami detonated a pressure-cooker bomb in the heart of Manhattan, injuring 31. During his knife attack, Adan demanded to know if his victims were Muslim before stabbing them but made the fatal mistake of threatening an armed off-duty cop, Jason Falconer, who shot him dead. Rahami who came to the U.S. with his family as part of an Afghan asylum program, was arrested in 2014...

A Republican candidate for US Senate was kicked out of a recent interview for having the audacity to point out a reporter’s disrespect and liberal bias. The unforgivable sin was committed by Oregon Republican Mark Callahan, after a reporter equated his skepticism of global warming to believing in the Easter Bunny, and writing down “blah, blah, blah,” as a fellow Republican answered a similar question. Yes… Offending paper-skinned, pen-wielding, liberal journalists is clearly a sin so grave that even candidates for US Senate find themselves censored and silenced. The drama began when Callahan chastised reporter Nigel Jacquiss for mocking a...

It's not just the IRS. A second federal agency is facing a probe and accusations of political bias over its alleged targeting of conservative groups. The allegations concern the Environmental Protection Agency, which is being accused of trying to charge conservative groups fees while largely exempting liberal groups. The fees applied to Freedom of Information Act requests -- allegedly, the EPA waived them for liberal groups far more often than it did for conservative ones. The allegations are under investigation by the House Energy and Commerce Committee and the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, which is also holding hearings...

Tyler Talgo was fed up. For two years the University of Southern California student had listened to the classroom ranting of liberal professors. So it wasn’t much of a surprise when Darry Sragow, his political science professor, launched into an anti-Republican tirade on the first day of class. “I knew that this was going to be a professor that was very left-wing, very biased,” Talgo told Fox News. “I knew this would be one of those classes where the professor would be biased all the time.” So Talgo decided to fight back. “As soon as I got back to my...

Not being one to jump on the current topic du jour, we could not pass up this one. The Obama Administration picks a major fight with the most famous journalist in America -- and we are not speaking about Bill O’Reilly or Ron Burgundy. It is rarely a good thing for political leaders to jump into hand-to-hand combat with the press. Bob Woodward has been a liberal icon for forty years. After all, Woodward and Bernstein were the principals in bringing down the all-time boogie man of the left – Richard Nixon. How can you question a man played by...

Have a close look at the screencap. Notice what Norah O'Donnell's holding in her left hand? Those are notes, with factoids from the 2008 presidential campaign. She's reading from them to challenge a Sarah Palin supporter who was waiting in line at the book signing yesterday in Grand Rapids, Michigan. We all remember how back during the '08 campaign, MSM reporters would challenge people attending Obama rallies with uncomfortable truths about their candidate, along the lines "would you still support him if you knew he had the most liberal voting record in the Senate?" Or not. I certainly can't remember...

In 1997, the National Association of Social Work (NASW) altered its ethics code, ruling that all social workers must promote social justice "from local to global level." This call for mandatory advocacy raised the question: what kind of political action did the highly liberal field of social work have in mind? The answer wasn't long in coming. The Council on Social Work Education, the national accreditor of social work education programs, says candidates must fight "oppression," and sees American society as pervaded by the "global interconnections of oppression." Now aspiring social workers must commit themselves, usually in writing, to a...

PHILADELPHIA — Christian DeJohn returned from a National Guard tour in Bosnia only to fight his own war with academics at Temple University who he says have held up his master's thesis because of political conflicts in the classroom.To some conservatives, the case represents a national trend by some liberal professors to infringe on conservative students' right to free speech at public colleges and universities. The debate has reached more than a dozen state legislatures, which dole out the taxpayer funds to those schools, but so far there's been more talk than action. Legislation modeled after an "academic bill of...

WASHINGTON (AP) - Two crucial pillars of President Bush's public support - perceptions of his honesty and faith in his ability to fight terrorism - have slipped to their lowest point in the AP-Ipsos poll. While the CIA leak investigation, the mishandling of Hurricane Katrina and high energy costs have all taken their toll, the polling found the Iraq war at the core of Americans' displeasure with the president. All of those concerns are cutting into traditional Bush strengths.

Greetings, This is my first time creating a thread, so please be kind... I am a conservative who's fascinated with Wikipedia. For those of you who don't know, Wikipedia is an open sourced on-line encyclopedia. In theory, anyone can contribute, add or subtract to it's contents. I've read just about every thread I could find about Wik in Free Republic and found that most people fall into one of 3 camps: 1) Wikipedia is an excellent and useful source of information. 2) Wikipedia has potential but it is biased left and, if you want to change it, go in there...

The publicly funded left-wing fanatics over at the CBC have made an "investigative documentary" slamming Fox News for ideological bias and unfair reporting (pot calling the kettle black?) Now that Fox News is being broadcast in Canada the folks over at the CBC are losing viewers and are attempting to influence the public by "exposing" Fox as a political tool for the Bush administration and viciously attacking their coverage. They've included Dan Rather and Al Franken as victims of FN, portraying the MSM as "fair and balanced" while Fox is extreme right-wing. A study conducted by the FBC concluded that...

Fresh Air, October 26, 2004 · The 'Philadelphia Inquirer' is running a 21-day endorsement of Sen. John Kerry, outlining 21 reasons why voters should elect him president. Editorial page editor Chris Satullo and commentary page editor John Timpane talk about the endorsement. On the paper's op-ed page, they've invited guest commentators to write about the reasons why voters should elect Bush instead.

What is going on at Fox News? Within the last 15 minutes, I've seen them attack the Swift Boat captains without letting them defend themselfs, and be totally unfair to a Cuban American film maker who was trying to show the Elian side of the Elian story.

Is The New York Times a Liberal Newspaper?By DANIEL OKRENTPublished: July 25, 2004 F course it is.The fattest file on my hard drive is jammed with letters from the disappointed, the dismayed and the irate who find in this newspaper a liberal bias that infects not just political coverage but a range of issues from abortion to zoology to the appointment of an admitted Democrat to be its watchdog. (That would be me.) By contrast, readers who attack The Times from the left - and there are plenty - generally confine their complaints to the paper's coverage of electoral politics...

Having read the Hutton report and most of what has been written about it, I have reached the following, strictly non-judicial, conclusions: first, that the episode illuminates a wider crisis in British journalism than the turmoil at the BBC; second, that too many journalists are in denial about this wider crisis; third, that journalists need to be at the forefront of trying to rectify it; and, fourth, that this will almost certainly not happen. The reporting of Lord Hutton's conclusions and of the reactions to them has been meticulous. The same cannot be said of large tracts of the commentary...
