Accuracy in Media

Hillary Clinton, who beat Donald Trump in the popular vote, continued her attack on the Electoral College on Friday, calling it an”odd system” and not in keeping with the idea of “one person, one vote.” “I know this is another really obvious thing to say. Vote in every election, not just presidential elections,” Clinton said […]

MSNBC personality Joy Reid called rural Americans a “core threat to our democracy” last weekend. Responding to a piece in the Wall Street Journal headlined, “The Varied – and Global – Threats Confronting Democracy,” Reid called for sacking the Electoral College because it gives rural voters an unfair advantage over urban voters in national elections. […]

MSNBC host Joy Reid sounded the alarm bells on Saturday when she tweeted that rural Americans pose a “core threat to our democracy” because a large majority of Americans is expected to live in the 15 largest states in 2040. This is the core threat to our democracy. The rural minority — the people @JYSexton just […]

Mainstream media has taken up a Democratic cause and is now pushing to undo the Electoral College. The Democratic candidate won the popular vote for president in 2000 and 2016 but did not capture the White House, because, they say, the Electoral College gives an advantage to areas of the country that tend to vote […]

The liberal media’s ‘Trump doesn’t have a mandate from Americans because he didn’t win the popular vote yet he won the Electoral College’ narrative continues two weeks after Donald Trump’s inauguration festivities and over two months since Election Day. This time, the Washington Post’s The Fix claimed Trump does not have a mandate, even after […]

It’s as if the liberal media types at CNN do not understand how the Electoral College works, and goes out of their way to point out that Clinton won the popular vote yet still lost the election: Neither Donald Trump nor Hillary Clinton won a majority of the vote in the 2016 contest. Clinton beat […]

ABC News had this to say about the popular vote and the Electoral College in their article on Obama’s recent comment that he could win a third term as President of the United States, as if it’s inconceivable that the Democrats won the popular vote yet lost the Electoral College: In the podcast, Obama didn’t address […]

On our next to last show of 2016, special guest host Jerry Cave and I discuss the effects of the terrorist attacks in Germany and Turkey, how the liberals failed to get Trump electors to defect, President Obama blaming the media for Clinton’s loss, Facebook’s liberal fact checkers, Media Matters new focus and more. Please […]

ABC News, CNN, CBS News and NBC News did not run headlines that outlined how Hillary Clinton, the losing presidential candidate for the Democratic Party, lost more electors than Donald Trump. The media built up the narrative that Trump would lose electors, not Clinton, and as a result, have an egg on their face. ABC […]

It’s an interesting take, actually, even with the liberal biases of TIME Magazine being present: Between 1900 and 2012, the count is six faithless electors abandoning a losing presidential candidate—though one perhaps by accident—and three abandoning a winner.
