Federal Judge Alleges Democrats Are Close to Controlling All Major News Outlets

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.

Silberman, a Reagan appointee, wrote that the ruling is “a threat to American Democracy” and must be overturned.

“The increased power of the press is so dangerous today because we are very close to one-party control of these institutions. Our court was once concerned about the institutional consolidation of the press leading to a ‘bland and homogenous’ marketplace of ideas. It turns out that ideological consolidation of the press (helped along by economic consolidation) is the far greater threat,” he continued.

“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. (I do not mean to defend or criticize the behavior of any particular politician). Two of the three most influential papers (at least historically), 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 (such as the Los Angeles Times, Miami Herald, and Boston Globe). 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.

Does the federal judge have any remedy for the lame stream media’s overwhelming liberal bias?

[SeekAndFind]

Media, Big Tech, Public Schools, Colleges and Universities ( both public and private ), Mainline Protestant Denominations, Wall Street, The Film and Music industry, The Deep State. Heck, they’ve got all major outlets and every area of society covered !!

It’s a wonder Trump won in 2016 !!

Saying out loud what we all know. The media in our country hates the people of the county. PURE EVIL.

[4Liberty]

Are they really “major,” any more?

Who’s watching?

I don’t even watch Fox news . . .

Noteworthy that a federal judge mentioned what we all here already knew.

Overturning the unconstitutional 1964 law

“The press” isn’t supposed to have any Rights that every other citizen of this country does not also have

[Safrguns]

Close????

Really???

Would have never guessed!

Good decision but 30 years to late to accomplish anything. The media monopoly is a done deal. Nothing will stop it.

[VideoDoctor]

Thanks to the Internet I don't think it will make a HELL of a lot of difference.

Trump long ago coined the term "FAKE NEWS" and since then the toothpaste has been out of the tube.

[SaveFerris]

Wonder how the Ministry of Truth will spin this one?

Oh, they’ll just ignore it.

Call it a ‘conspiracy theory’ or some such.

[MikeSteelBe]

Remember back in the ‘30s when a socialist party controlled the government and the press in that European country?

Remember how that worked out?

[RetiredArmy]

Yup. It is called the One World Government. The Book of Daniel in the Holy Bible speaks to it. It is coming. Not one thing can be done about it. God says it is going to happen, so it will. Only total repentance by mankind could change it, but that ain’t happening.
