Liberal bias in mainstream news media coverage is a generally accepted reality in the U.S. Over the past few decades, even academic research confirms this reality. But how did progressivism come to dominate the media, and how did this become the accepted norm? This episode traces the history of media bias from the first progressive star journalists who flexed their newfound power in the Theodore Roosevelt White House to the pivotal Vietnam-Watergate years, when journalists believed they were saving America from itself, through to the modern era where activist journalism too often makes the truth expendable.

Relief Factor

It’s enough of a struggle just to live our lives and try to keep tyranny at bay day after day without also having to deal with pain on a regular basis. And yet, our bodies don’t really give us much of a choice. The biggest cause of our pain is inflammation in our joints; I know, because I used to get it so badly in my hands, I couldn’t even always button my shirt in the morning — let alone do so many of the things I love to do, like painting or writing letters by hand. Thank God, I found out about Relief Factor and eventually gave it a try. I got my life back, and you could get your life back too. There’s only one way to know.

Wouldn’t it be nice if you lived in a country where you didn’t have to constantly worry that your government is lying to you? A country where you could take it for granted that those in charge weren’t making decisions based on what they think is in your best interest — and not what you think is? History shows us, unfortunately, that the more bloated a government gets, the more this happens. I don’t know about you, but I make it a point to make critical decisions for myself and my family, and you should too.
