Accuracy in Media

The liberal media conveniently forgot that the Democratic Party was the first to use the “nuclear option” to ram through their agenda in the U.S. Senate. But, their headlines neglect to mention that, as you can see: New York Times: Senate Republicans Deploy ‘Nuclear Option‘ to Clear Path for Gorsuch Washington Post: Senate Republicans go ‘nuclear,’ […]

It’s interesting that the editorial boards for the Washington Post, Boston Globe and Chicago Tribune are not siding with the Democratic Party on holding fast on a Senate filibuster on the confirmation of Trump Supreme Court nominee Donald Trump. Instead, they are urging the Democrats to not filibuster over Gorsuch and to save political ammunition […]

Too often, the liberal media blames the conservatives and the GOP for destroying the country and causing trouble. This time, the liberal media avoids pointing blame at the Democratic Party over the use of the so-called “nuclear option,” where the Senate can throw aside the filibuster in favor of a simple majority vote.

The contrast in headlines is interesting, when you look at it. In 2013, then-Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid tossed aside the filibuster by Republicans to invoke the ‘nuclear option.’ The Democratic Party then used it to appoint agency officials for then-President Barack Obama.

WASHINGTON — Wendy Davis’s gubernatorial campaign is struggling mightily, and barely registered any news on the one-year anniversary of her pro-abortion filibuster in the Texas legislature. Reuters reported that she was the “brightest star in the U.S. political universe when she donned pink tennis shoes and launched a one-woman, 10-hour filibuster against abortion restrictions that […]

WASHINGTON — The Senate’s longtime rule, the filibuster, has gone the way of the do-do bird. With that in mind, the Senate Democrats (who are in the majority) now confirmed their first nominee. Reuters reported that the Senate approved the nomination of Patricia Millett, a former Clinton and George W. Bush Justice Department official to […]

WASHINGTON — The long-held belief that filibusters were an important parliamentary procedure has been abandoned by the Democrats. Now, Reuters said that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nevada) pushed for dismantling the filibuster. It would allow his party to override and run roughshod over any Republican opposition over Obama’s court nominees. Reid’s “nuclear option” to […]
