Nearly three quarters of Americans believe the news media reports with an intentional bias, according to a new survey.
The 2015 State of the First Amendment Survey, conducted by the First Amendment Center and USA Today, was released Friday. It shows that only 24 percent of American adults agree with the statement that overall, the news media tries to report the news without bias, while 70 percent disagree.
When the question was asked last year, 41 percent agreed, a 17-point difference.
These are discouraging results for those of us who have spent our careers in journalism, Ken Paulson, president of the First Amendment Center, wrote in an op-ed for USA Today on Thursday. In 23 years in newsrooms, I saw consistent and concerted efforts to get stories right. Clearly, the public's not convinced.

As happens so often these days, everything old becomes new again during campaign season. And with so much going on in the race for President, and SCOTUS decisions, and on the list goes, liberals online, especially in social media, are circulating an old video clip to much self-congratulation. Steven Crowder has decided to be a meme-destroyer, and takes on the the entire video point by point in the awesome edition of Louder With Crowder above. Timely given the date this Saturday.

President Obama and Hillary Clinton likely made the decision to falsely tie an inflammatory anti-Islam Internet video to the fatal Sept. 11, 2012 terrorist attack that left four Americans dead in Benghazi, Libya, the chief of the conservative government watchdog group Judicial Watch (JW) told Breitbart News.

This Fourth of July we will celebrate our independence and freedoms. But are we now more politically correct than free? Last week, Apple Computer removed several Civil War games that uses Confederate flag imagery from its app store. Nor are games the only focus of a PC purge. A much broader battle is being waged against American history itself.

A random fatal shooting in San Francisco, allegedly by an immigrant, proves the United States must tighten its borders, according to a statement on Friday by U.S. presidential candidate Donald Trump, who is facing heavy criticism for his comments about Mexicans. Kathryn Steinle, 32, was fatally shot as she walked with her father along the popular Embarcadero pier on Wednesday in what San Francisco police described as an apparent random attack. Francisco Sanchez, 45, was quickly arrested nearby.

We get it. There is only one acceptable moral code, it's dictated by cultural elites, and we will all be forced not only to accept it, but to live our lives according to it, and to public proclaim it — at least never to publicly proclaim any moral code contrary to it.
These are all made clear by Oregon's government slapping a $135,000 fine on a couple that wouldn't bake a cake for a gay wedding, and also telling the couple that it's illegal for them to publicly express their conviction that they shouldn't have to cater gay weddings.
But there's one more irksome detail. The Jacobin statist minds that decided to pursue this persecution lack some basic analytical thinking skills. They can't distinguish between discriminating against a person and not wanting to take part in that person's ceremonies.

Trump is selling opposition politics to Americans who, rich or poor, enjoy greater power as consumers than they ever will as voters. The media do not understand consumer behavior, which is why so many outlets have failed. But Trump "gets it": his companies not only provide value for investors, but good service to customers.

After a week of defending his remarks, George Takei finally apologized today for calling Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas a “clown in blackface. ”Takei went on the racist rant Monday during an interview in Phoenix, in response to Thomas’ comments regarding the Supreme Court decision on gay marriage:“He is a clown in blackface sitting on the Supreme Court. He gets me that angry. He doesn’t belong there,” Takei said, later adding, “This man does not belong on the Supreme Court. He is an embarrassment. He is a disgrace to America. I’ll say it on camera.”Clarence Thomas, the grandson of a sharecropper who grew up in the racist Democrat Jim Crow South, managed to work his way to the nation’s highest court -- but only after the appalling food-fight that masqueraded as his confirmation hearings. In 1991 his left-wing critics created a public image of Thomas as a clown -- calling him an Uncle Tom and a sexual harasser. His actual crime, however, was that he was a conservative black and a potential vote on the Supreme Court that would limit or end legal abortion in America. In 2015, his gauche opposition to same sex marriage makes him equally infuriating to leftists.Takei, who is most known for playing the character 'Sulu' on Star Trek, spent the week trying to justify his racist remarks -- with plenty of encouragement from his fans on social media who didn't think he needed to apologize.Thursday night, Takei took to Facebook to bloviate about how Thomas had 'abdicated and abandoned his African American heritage.'A few fans have written wondering whether I intended to utter a racist remark by referring to Justice Thomas as a “clown in blackface.”“Blackface” is a lesser known theatrical term for a white actor who blackens his face to play a black buffoon. In traditional theater lingo, and in my view and intent, that is not racist. It is instead part of a racist history in this country.I feel Justice Thomas has abdicated and abandoned his African American heritage by claiming slavery did not strip dignity from human beings. He made a similar remark about the Japanese American internment, of which I am a survivor. A sitting Justice of the Supreme Court ought to know better.That statement, not surprisingly, failed to quell his critics.On Friday, he returned to Facebook, again with an explicit apology coupled with an attempt to justify his verbal assault by asserting the absolute moral authority of 'a survivor of the Japanese American internment.'I owe an apology. On the eve of this Independence Day, I have a renewed sense of what this country stands for, and how I personally could help achieve it. The promise of equality and freedom is one that all of us have to work for, at all times. I know this as a survivor of the Japanese American internment, which each day drives me only to strive harder to help fulfill that promise for future generations.I recently was asked by a reporter about Justice Clarence Thomas’s dissent in the marriage equality cases, in which he wrote words that really got under my skin, by suggesting that the government cannot take away human dignity through slavery, or though internment. In my mind that suggested that this meant he felt the government therefore shouldn’t be held accountable, or should do nothing in the face of gross violations of dignity. When asked by a reporter about the opinion, I was still seething, and I referred to him as a “clown in blackface” to suggest that he had abdicated and abandoned his heritage. This was not intended to be racist, but rather to evoke a history of racism in the theatrical arts. While I continue to vehemently disagree with Justice Thomas, the words I chose, said in the heat of anger, were not carefully considered.I am reminded, especially on this July 4th holiday, that though we have the freedom to speak our minds, we must use that freedom judiciously. Each of us, as humans, have hot-button topics that can set-us off, and Justice Thomas had hit mine, that is clear. But my choice of words was regrettable, not because I do not believe Justice Thomas is deeply wrong, but because they were ad hominem and uncivil, and for that I am sorry.I often ask fans to keep the level of discourse on this page and in comments high, and to remember that we all love this country and for what it stands for, even if we often disagree passionately about how to achieve those goals. I did not live up to my own high standards in this instance.I hope all of you have a wonderful, safe and joyously free July 4t, the first where all married couples in the U.S. can enjoy the full liberties of matrimony equally. It is truly a blessing to be an American today.Takei's Facebook fans continue to maintain that he has nothing to apologize about.
