Click here to go to the full report. Liberals and their media allies have long argued that the
U.S. Constitution is a “living document,” open to change in order to justify
almost anything they happen to want at any given time. It shouldn’t be
surprising then that they’ve come to show the same disregard for another
important document: the Bible.
When they aren’t actively denigrating religion, liberal
journalists, entertainers, and politicians use faith as a weapon to bludgeon…
Ho, Ho, No – The left is fighting
to remove nativities and even Christmas trees (which are now “religious
symbols”) from the public square.Year Round – Christmas is
increasingly just one front in the war on Christianity, as atheists and
secularists push freedom from
religion.
Christmas: a season of generosity,
good cheer, preparation for Christ’s birth – and a swarm of lawyers seeking to
purge any mention of Christianity from the public square.

According to exit polling of the 2012 election, just 5 percent
of voters who turned out were gay. Yet voters said their states should legalize
same-sex marriage by 49 percent to 46 percent. Indeed, social issues like gay
marriage and the media-concocted “war on women” probably gave President Obama
his margin of victory.
Consider another figure: According to a May 2011 Gallup poll, most U.S. adults “estimate that 25
percent of Americans are” gay or lesbian. In reality, the number of people…
Executive Summary
It has become clear from exit polling that President Obama in
large part owed his re-election to social issues. Aided by the media, Democrats
were able successfully to caricature conservatives as puritanical. Where the
GOP wanted to talk about economics and Obama’s record, liberals invented a
conservative “war on women,” in which Republicans wanted to take away the
previously unknown “right” to free contraception, overturn Roe vs. Wade and pay
women less for the same work…
Presidential elections have been won or lost due to
the economy. Herbert Hoover lost to Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Jimmy Carter
lost to Ronald Reagan. This election season is no different as polls, including
a recent one from NBC News/Wall Street Journal, continue to show the economy is
the top concern of voters.
But the network news media often skew economic
coverage in favor of liberal candidates and against conservatives. In September
2012, President Barack Obama continued to face a barrage…
On October 27, 2011, former Newsweek senior editor Jonathan Alter wrote a column for Bloomberg News headlined “Obama Miracle is White House Free of Scandal.” Alter began: “President Barack Obama goes into the 2012 [race] with a weak economy that may doom his reelection. But he has one asset that hasn’t received much attention: He’s honest.”Alter even bragged: “According to a metric created by political scientist Brendan Nyhan, Obama set a record earlier this month for most days without a…
Scare
tactics are one of the many tools of the left, and the environmental
left particularly loves to spread fear of chemicals and “toxins” among
consumers. But that phobia also taints media coverage, and has resulted
in attacks on food-packaging chemicals like BPA.The
media, along with the help of left-wing green groups and one infamous
liberal PR company, have attacked that chemical, commonly found in
plastics, liners of cans and many other ordinary products, for more more
than a…

The Media's Influence:
43% of the public said the press "plays the most influential role
in determining which issues and events are considered important these
days." 22% said "political leaders in Washington."

1992 campaign was "hurt" by "the way the press has covered him." 11% thought Bill Clinton…
Read the Executive SummarySay the name George Soros and liberals see dollar signs –
literally. The world’s 22nd richest man, according to Forbes, is now
worth $20 billion. But Soros isn’t just noteworthy for the money he has – he’s
notable for the money he has given away. Since launching his Open Society
Foundations in 1984, Soros has donated more than $8 billion to charities around
the world.
But instead of gaining a mighty reputation for his
philanthropy, or his investment prowess, Soros…
Executive Summary
The media often talk about left-wing billionaire George
Soros – especially his investments and his charity work. But those same news
stories seldom give a complete picture of the man behind many of the liberal or
“progressive” organizations in the United States and around the world.
Soros has amassed monumental wealth ($20 billion according
to Forbes), but he has used much of that money to underwrite political
operations, liberal higher education and an international…
