Free Republic

used to spread misinformation about his defeat and whip up the attempt to overturn it. The Biden administration, Democrats in Congress and even some Republicans sought to do more to hold the companies accountable. Academic researchers wrestled with how to strengthen efforts to monitor false posts. Mr. Trump and his allies embarked instead on a counteroffensive, a coordinated effort to block what they viewed as a dangerous effort to censor conservatives. The article goes on to detail how conservatives have successfully overcome efforts by the left to censor and crack down on claims that the election was compromised:

Supporters of Donald Trump went on the defensive Sunday over his latest inflammatory comments, in which he said at a campaign rally there would be a “bloodbath” if he loses the November presidential election. The remarks came as he was talking about threats to domestic car production but drew condemnation from Dems for their violent tone.

I have a basic rule of thumb: Any time you hear a wild story about former President Donald Trump where the media is claiming he said something/did something outrageous, wait 48 hours, and then the spin or the truth on the matter will be revealed. We've seen the fake stories before, like the "fine people" hoax. Joe Biden is still spreading that lie to this day when he talks about his reasons for running for office. On Saturday, you could watch the making of a hoax in real time. In the latest fake story that the media, the Biden campaign,...

Vice News published a story last fall asserting that Libs of TikTok, the popular social media account run by Chaya Raichik, was responsible for a rise in school bomb threats. The reporter, Tess Owen, wrote that “bomb threats targeting schools or school districts following Libs of TikTok posts appears to be a particularly ominous escalation.” She then cited a “disturbing pattern” from 11 school districts. Newly obtained emails, released Thursday by Raichik, suggest that Owen wasn’t completely truthful in her reporting. In a post on X, Libs of TikTok claimed Vice News and Owen “knowingly withheld critical information about me...

Gov. Kristi Noem is facing legal action after her latest endorsement caused an online furor that now risks taking a bite out of her standing in South Dakota at a time when she’s rumored to be among the front-runners on Donald Trump’s vice presidential shortlist.

Today, the NAACP sent a letter to current and prospective members of the NCAA, calling for Black student athletes to reconsider their decisions to attend public colleges and universities in Florida. The letter comes following recent news that the University of Florida had dismantled its DEI department at the direction of the DeSantis administration's Stop WOKE Act. The bill, which was passed last year, prohibits the use of state funds for any diversity, equity, and inclusion programs. While the University of Florida has been the first to follow the directive, Florida is home to some of the nation's largest public...

A conservative nonprofit, Building America’s Future, hit CNN for not airing an ad that faults President Biden for Laken Riley’s tragic murder during last week’s State of the Union address, but the network insists the commercial didn’t meet its standards. "CNN and Joe Biden are in lockstep once again," Building America’s Future Advisor Phil Cox said in a statement to Fox News Digital. "It is shameful that CNN is censoring the truth and trying to protect President Biden by refusing to air this ad. The American people understand that Biden’s open borders agenda is responsible for the death of Laken...

Many people posing as journalists acknowledge problems, while also working very hard to cover up the cause of the problem. A recent article from Matt Egan at CNN admits that Americans have a problem paying for things… but neither he, nor any of the outlet’s other employees ever bring up Joe Biden or his policies as a significant cause of the problem; read here: Americans’ cost of living remains a massive headache, even as recession fears fadeThe long-rumored recession has been postponed – or perhaps canceled altogether. The soft-landing vibes are real. Inflation is cooling. The economy is growing at...

Immediately following President Biden’s State of the Union Address Thursday night, CNN’s band of liberal anchors (Jake Tapper, Dana Bash, and Abby Phillip) praised his attacks on former President Trump, his “fight,” and tried to do damage control for his plethora of senior moments. Tapper made sure to tout how Biden alluded to Trump 13 times (ABC counted 16) during the address. Once he quickly exhausted all the nice things he had to say, Tapper awkwardly pivoted to trying to downplay Biden’s bumbling, stumbling, and disgraceful mispronunciation of Laken Riley’s name (the young college student Biden’s open border policies killed)...

Washington Post writer Maura Judkis is under fire this week for a column in which she mocks shoplifting stories as the “moral panic” of a nation built on “stolen land.”It is reminiscent of those who excused rioting in past summers “as an expression of power” and demanded that the media refer to looters as “protesters.” Now, the Washington Post is suggesting that it may be just desserts for a nation of colonizers and enslavers.The prior day, the Post ran another column downplaying accounts of stores closing due to shoplifting even though employees blamed rampant shoplifting in San Francisco.Judkis wrote a...

WASHINGTON (AP) — For Vladimir Putin, victory in Ukraine may run through Texas’ Rio Grande Valley. In recent weeks, Russian state media and online accounts tied to the Kremlin have spread and amplified misleading and incendiary content about U.S. immigration and border security. The campaign seems crafted to stoke outrage and polarization before the 2024 election for the White House, and experts who study Russian disinformation say Americans can expect more to come as Putin looks to weaken support for Ukraine and cut off a vital supply of aid. In social media posts, online videos and stories on websites, these...

Google is now in full damage-control mode following last week's embarrassing revelations about the Woke bias baked deep into the company's Gemini large language model — aka, artificial intelligence. ... Google CEO Sundar Pichai wrote to employees in an internal memo, "I know that some of its responses have offended our users and shown bias — to be clear, that's completely unacceptable and we got it wrong." Pichai's memo doesn't address the root issue. The problem isn't that users were offended. The problem isn't that Gemini has "shown bias," although that phrase is a tell. The problem is that Gemini...

Cohost Mika Brzezinski asked the pair, “Why are white rural voters a threat to democracy at this point? You would think, looking at Joe Biden and Donald Trump’s background, that the opposite would be true.” Schaller replied that they “lay out the fourfold interconnected threat that white rural voters pose to the country,” in their new book. “They are the most anti-gay, xenophobic in the country. QAnon support and subscribers, COVID denialism, Obama birtherism.” The author also argued that white rural Americans continue to espouse “anti-democratic sentiments.” “They don’t believe in an independent press, free speech. They’re most likely to...

Corporate media are covering for the deadly consequences of President Joe Biden’s border invasion by pretending the illegal border crosser who allegedly assaulted, kidnapped, imprisoned, and murdered 22-year-old University of Georgia nursing student Laken Hope Riley this week was merely a nearby resident and not an illegal alien from Venezuelan with a criminal history.One day after Riley’s body was reported missing and subsequently found following an early morning run on her university’s campus in Athens, Georgia, Jose Ibarra was charged with several felonies related to her disappearance and death.The revelation sparked outrage among Americans who have noticed a pattern of...

VIDEOLiberals love espousing diversity. However, for diversity that really counts, namely diversity of opinion, the mainstream media has shut that down. An example is the CNN panel discussing the primary victory of President Donald Trump in South Carolina. NOT ONE had a friendly word for Trump. Instead that panel, including "conservatives," presented a sold wall of TDS hate as you can see from some of the excerpts presented here. Any real conservatives who did support Trump on CNN, such as Jeffrey Lord, were removed by that network years ago.

“Be Evil” should be Google’s new motto these days. The anti-free speech Big Tech giant has continued its sordid habit of suppressing right-leaning media sources while inundating users with left-leaning content. A new analysis from media solutions company AllSides once again found that Google News is overwhelmingly elevating news media from “the left” while burying news media from “the right.” AllSides monitored Google News' homepage over a two-week period in 2023 and uncovered that a whopping 63 percent of 494 articles came from sources “on the left.” By contrast, only a negligible six percent came from sources “on the right.”...

MSNBC’s Katty Kay claims the United States under Joe Biden is simply heaven on earth. Critics not being targeted, journalists not being locked up, the economy skyrocketing and immigrants trying to come to the US rather than Russia. All is well.

On February 14th, a series of negative articles were published about True the Vote, with headlines like ‘True the Vote Tells Court It Has No Records To Back Up Georgia Fraud Claims, from the Atlanta Journal Constitution, ‘The Final Repudiation of 2000 Mules’, from the Washington Post, ‘Conservative Group Tells Judge It Has No Evidence To Back Its Claims of GA Ballot Stuffing’ from the Associated Press …. the list goes on and on. What you are seeing is an organized hit. How do we know? Synchronized publications across legacy media outlets with no outreach to True the Vote for...

What should be the attitude of the media towards someone notable for being the purveyor of the biggest election 2020 fake news story? Shun them? That would be the correct attitude for such journalism malpractice. However, in the case of CNN it actually promoted such a person. Natasha Bertrand who was the main person behind promoting the fake news story in Politico that the New York Post report in October 2020 revealing the contents of Hunter Biden's laptop was a result of Russian disinformation.The CNN announcement on Tuesday of Bertrand's promotion on X (which everyone still calls Twitter) went over...

Consumer prices jumped hotter-than-expected, and leftist media outlets were predictably fumbling over themselves trying to spin the bad news in any which way they could to protect the floundering Biden economy. The latest Bureau of Labor Statistics inflation report showed that consumer prices spiked 3.1 percent year-over year, with a 0.3 percent increase month-over-month, both exceeding expectations. CBS News even conceded the new hot numbers “complicat[ed]” the Federal Reserve’s decision to cut interest rates. The outlet also noted that higher prices “remain sticky.” The Dow Jones Industrial Average also tumbled over 400 points following the news. But that didn’t stop...
