Media Bias News

Last month, news anchors at Sinclair Broadcast Group’s TV stations were required to read a script critical of “fake stories” and general bias in the major news networks.

Thousands of people descended upon Washington, D.C., for the first-ever March for Our Lives, an anti-gun march following February’s horrific shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. The Daily Signal went to the march and spoke with attendees. “I try to keep an open mind and I’ve looked at some of the…

There may be fake news, but there’s no making up the media’s loathing of President Donald Trump. The press has been unrelenting toward this president since Day One—and the Media Research Center’s data proves it. Even the 89 percent negativity from his early months almost seem benevolent now, with numbers in the 91-93 percent range (the latter…

The Daily Signal’s Facebook Live show “Top 10” features the top news stories of the week, many of which often go underreported or misreported by the mainstream media. This week, Facebook censored conservative Phil Robertson’s video that shows him field dressing a duck because it was too “graphic” and “violent.” The left just doesn’t want kids…

Every week, The Daily Signal’s Facebook show “Problematic Women” highlights strong conservative women, current events, and the hypocrisy of the “feminist” left. This week we’re highlighting some of the more outrageous reactions to Hurricane Harvey, including this idea that President Donald Trump lacked “empathy.” Instead of focusing on Hurricane Harvey victims, the mainstream media viciously attacked…

“Our leading media” are characterized by “indefensibly corrupt manipulations of language repeated incessantly.” Patrick Lawrence in The Nation, Aug. 9, on the media’s reporting of the alleged collusion between Donald Trump’s campaign and Russia. To understand America’s crises today, one must first understand what has happened to two institutions: the university and the news media….

Mainstream media’s not alone in attacking President Donald Trump. Late night hosts Jimmy Kimmel, James Corden, Stephen Colbert, and Jim Jefferies have joined in this week. Meanwhile, cities across the country are bracing for the “apocalypse,” formerly known as the solar eclipse. Every week, The Daily Signal’s Facebook Live show “Top 10” features the top…

We have a problem in the United States with hate. We saw this last week in Charlottesville, whether it be racism or anti-Semitism, whether it be the KKK or neo-Nazi. Those are hate groups, and they have no place in the United States and they should be condemned without mincing words without any equivocation. But…

Apparently the mainstream media doesn’t have a problem being seen as the “opposition party” to President Donald Trump, to use the phrase of Trump adviser Stephen Bannon. On Tuesday, the White House Correspondents’ Association announced that the comedian to be featured at the group’s fundraising dinner—the biggest annual event for D.C. political journalists—is Hasan Minhaj….

The attention on The Daily Signal’s Fred Lucas’ role as occasional White House pool reporter has made one thing very clear: For many, the illusion still remains that the mainstream media is unbiased. “It’s concerning that news organizations with a clear and stated bias are serving as the eyes and ears of the White House…

Leaked emails seem to suggest that the Democratic National Committee maintains cozy relationships with mainstream media outlets but takes a more caustic approach with publications it believes to be conservative. According to these emails, party officials stonewalled and blacklisted the Washington Examiner when editors approached the party in May to gather the names of delegates to the Democratic National Convention for…

In 2005, when the internet and blogs were new, members of the elite mainstream media were skeptical, even hostile. Who are these unknown , uncredentialed so-called journalists who think they can compete with the big boys?  Don't they know they didn't go to Columbia Journalism School?  Who allowed them in the game?  I defended the…

Genevieve Wood wrote about Planned Parenthood and the media in her column earlier this week: In the case of the unfolding scandal involving the nation’s largest abortion provider, Planned Parenthood, much of the mainstream media have fallen for the old line, “Nothing to see here.” And now we find out perhaps one reason why is…
