Federal Judge: Anti-GOP Media 'Threat to Democracy'
News Max ^ | March 22, 2021 | Staff

A conservative judge on the influential federal appeals court in Washington used his dissent in a defamation case to lambaste most U.S. media outlets for trumpeting "shocking" anti-Republican views, and call for libel laws to be revised to make it easier to sue the press.

The New York Times and The Washington Post are "virtually Democratic Party broadsheets," while the news section of the Wall Street Journal "leans in the same direction," said U.S. Circuit Judge Laurence Silberman, who added the major television outlets and Silicon Valley giants were similarly biased.

"Federal Judge: Anti-GOP Media 'Threat to Democracy'"

Forget what the misguided federal judge says about anti-Trump media imo. Trump’s red tsunami of patriot voters who gave Trump a record-breaking victory in 2020 elections imo saw right through the corrupt media.

It’s the deep-state judges who ignored much evidence concerning desperate Democratic vote-counting fraud supported by foreign leaders who are the real threat to the constitutional republic imo.

“It is fair to conclude, therefore, that one-party control of the press and media is a threat to a viable democracy.”

To begin with, the U.S. is not, and has never been a democracy. It was intended to be a democratic republic. After the last election, it is clear that it is no longer a republic.
