Accuracy in Media

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) is not a typical friend of the political Right, but its recent defense of the freedom of speech for all Americans, after the Charlottesville tragedy, apparently riled up an attorney who wrote an op-ed in the New York Times. Why was this attorney upset? The ACLU issued a statement […]

Highlighting the anti-Trump liberal sentiment during this commencement (i.e. college graduation) season, CNN’s Fareed Zakaria said that liberals say that they are tolerant, but their recent actions say the opposite. He pointed to the walkout protest by about one hundred Notre Dame students during Vice President Mike Pence’s commencement address, violent protests directed at Charles […]

The headline of New York Times’ latest article, “In Ann Coulter, Signs that Conservatives are Emboldened,” portrayed conservatives as being aggressive in expressing their right of the freedom of speech. Doesn’t that sound slanted and biased, already? Well, it is. When you read the article, it goes on and said that Coulter is an “acid-penned conservative […]

The heckler’s veto won at University of California-Berkeley, once considered a bastion of free speech (mostly from the left-wing perspective). A heckler’s veto is when protesters and hecklers “veto,” shout down or shut down speeches and events in a disruptive manner. The group that sponsored conservative commentator Ann Coulter’s speech, Young America’s Foundation, said it […]

Without mentioning why the network saw fit to run an article that tried to explain the nuances of the application of the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, not mentioning that the article was (most likely) published in light of ongoing controversy over free speech on college campuses.

The speech by Horowitz […]

This time, instead of Charles Murray receiving the ire of Middlebury College protesters, it’s Heather MacDonald, a Manhattan Institute fellow and author of the book, “War on Cops.” But why did the liberal media ignore this protest at Claremont McKenna College? MacDonald had to be escorted out of the lecture hall and continued her speech […]

Last year, when it was popular for professional athletes to kneel or sit down during the playing of the American national anthem, there was outcry on both sides of the political aisle about whether it was appropriate or not. At that time, Megan Rapinoe joined the likes of Colin Kaepernick of the NFL and a […]

Read Casey Mattox’s great take on the anti-Milo Yiannopoulos riots at Cal-Berkeley the past week: On the campus of the University of California at Berkeley is a monument to student free speech. It commemorates the Free Speech Movement that began at Berkeley in the 1960s. It should be moved. On February 1 on that campus, a mob pepper-sprayed […]

Controversial Breitbart editor Milo Yiannopoulos got an up-close view of the intolerance of the left when it comes to speech it doesn’t agree with. This occurred when a speech he was to give at U.C. Berkeley was canceled after masked demonstrators hurled fireworks, rocks and Molotov cocktails, plunging the campus into a state of chaos. Berkeley—the […]
