A federal judge this week said that the Democrat Party is close to controlling the press as he detailed what he described as shocking bias against Republicans.
D.C. Circuit Court Judge Laurence Silberman outlined his opposition to the Supreme Court's key decision in 1964 in New York Times v. Sullivan, which has since protected many media outlets from lawsuits.
"Although the bias against the Republican Party-not just controversial individuals-is rather shocking today, this is not new; it is a long-term, secular trend going back at least to the '70s. Two of the three most influential papers, The New York Times and The Washington Post, are virtually Democratic Party broadsheets. And the news section of The Wall Street Journal leans in the same direction. The orientation of these three papers is followed by The Associated Press and most large papers across the country. Nearly all television-network and cable-is a Democratic Party trumpet. Even the government-supported National Public Radio follows along," he added.
The news outlets mentioned didn't return requests for comment.
The judge also expressed concern about the influence that Big Tech wields over how news is distributed, referencing how Twitter limited the spread of a New York Post article about President Joe Biden's son Hunter Biden.
"It should be sobering for those concerned about news bias that these institutions are controlled by a single man and his son. Will a lone holdout remain in what is otherwise a frighteningly orthodox media culture? After all, there are serious efforts to muzzle Fox News. And although upstart conservative networks have emerged in recent years, their visibility has been decidedly curtailed by Social Media, either by direct bans or content-based censorship," he wrote.
The uniformity of news bias has a political impact, the judge continued, pointing to author Tim Groseclose's 2011 book: "Left Turn.".
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
