Report for America - The Leftwing Op Implanted in Your local News

Report for America – The Leftwing Op Implanted in Your local News

A disturbing article by Daniel Greenfield reveals that a leftwing group called Report for America has a 225 member corps of writers that are embedded in local American media to spout the lies and agenda of radical liberals. They’re not “journalists,” they’re a leftwing Op.

Democrats see most news outlets as unbiased. Republicans think they’re almost all biased.

Plus: Facebook expands its fact-checking program; for one thing, it now covers photos and video.

Democrats recognize bias on both ends of the political spectrum. The worst offenders are Fox News and Breitbart News, but Democrats also acknowledge the left-wing bias of sources such as Mother Jones.

“Democrats, including Democratic-leaning independents, tend to see most news organizations as unbiased, except for Fox News, Breitbart News, Mother Jones, the Huffington Post, and Vox. ... In contrast to the pattern among Democrats, Republicans, including Republican-leaning independents, tend to see all news organizations as biased. The two exceptions are Fox News and The Wall Street Journal. Republicans are divided as to whether those organizations are biased or unbiased.”

The report on Gallup and Knight Foundation’s 2017 Survey on Trust, Media and Democracy is entitled “Perceived Accuracy and Bias in the News Media”; you can read it and review the survey data here.

The system has been a driver of our state’s reputation as a place that values learning and promotes research and development. It not only attracted industry, it attracted prominent people from across the country. Now, we’ve been snubbed by Pulitzer…

Twitter is just another means for journalists to see what matters to people, but it's important to note that a large number of active Twitter users are themselves journalists or people with tons of social media savvy who are trying to get their particular message out. To get a fuller understanding of any story, it's important to go directly into a community rather than relying on Twitter.
