In the days after the riots at the Capitol on January 6, we were told by the New York Times and the rest of the Fourth Estate that Capitol Police Officer Brian D. Sicknick was killed with a fire extinguisher by a group of deranged Trump supporters, who were labeled as "Violent white nationalists."
In the weeks following Sicknick's death, the Times story began to unravel.
Twitter deplatformed Trump the same day the Times article was published, and the Democrat House impeachment managers used the story as evidence of the former president's culpability in Sicknick's death.
We have long known that the national media is biased against Republicans, but during Trump's presidency the Times, the Washington Post, ABC, CBS, CNN, NBC, NPR, MSNBC, and PBS went well beyond bias, both in what they chose to report on and what they omitted from their stories.
First, Republican politicians and members of Congress should confront and call out left-wing news anchors directly, whenever they have the opportunity to do so.
Third, Fox News or another network that has a broad influence should air a weekly news segment that focuses specifically on Fake News and stories that the Times and other outlets published against Republicans that turned out to be false.
It is time for the GOP to finally push back against Fake News.
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.
