The Glenn Beck Program

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. Sponsors 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.  If you’re living with aches and pains, see for yourself how Relief Factor — a daily, drug-free supplement — could help you feel and live better every day.

How did the Supreme Court move from its essential job of interpreting the Constitution into the realm of political activism? And why, until recently, has the Supreme Court been so dominated by the Left? This is the story of the transformation of the Supreme Court by three progressive icons: Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr., Louis Brandeis, and Felix Frankfurter. Holmes Jr. blazed the left-wing trail with his radical new vision of an evolving, “living” Constitution. Brandeis and Frankfurter used their positions as Supreme Court justices to run a secret political activist network that influenced decision-making at the highest levels of both Congress and the White House.   Sponsors Jase 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?
