Sharyl Attkisson ran a segment on Full Measure on how conservative news is being blocked by online platforms like Yahoo and MSN
Award winning journalist Sharyl Attkisson is host of “Full Measure,” which focuses on investigative and accountability reporting. Her show is shown on channels around the country on Sunday morning.
Sharyl is one of the few courageous and honest reporters in American who is willing to give you ALL of the news and just not liberal commentary that floods our airwaves day in and day out.
On Sunday, Sharyl Attkisson ran a segment on Full Measure on how conservative news is being blocked by online platforms like Yahoo and MSN.
This study shows how Breitbart, The Gateway Pundit, FOX News, New York Post, are completely shut out on their news pages.
This is likely criminal behavior.
We all know if they started publishing our reports along with other conservative outlets the fake news would be exposed. So they won’t.
On Sunday Sharyl spoke with David Bozell, the President of the Media Research Center to discuss the results of his platform’s recent study on media bias.
Here is a partial transcript:
David Bozell: I can’t remember the last story that Newsweek ever broke, and there it sits as a top 20 news website in America based solely and almost exclusively on the fact that in the last 6 months that we’ve been doing this, they have been linked to by MSN 524 times.
But more frustrating than the liberal media ecosystem just getting this uplift, there is a total blockade of this emerging conservative media ecosystem. New York Post, goose egg. Breitbart, goose egg. Gateway Pundit, goose egg. The conservative ecosystem is being shut out. The liberal ecosystem is being broadcast to hundreds of millions of people a month. Using the point of entry. Apple News is preloaded on your iPhone, on everyone’s iPhone. Google News is preloaded on your Android. MSN is preloaded on every desktop.
Sharyl Attkisson: According to the research, out of 487 top stories last February on Google News, only 11, or 2.2%, were right-leaning. 314, or 64.5%, were left-leaning. As for Apple News last January, of 620 top stories, there were zero right-leaning stories and 440 left-leaning. Articles on popular websites like Fox News and the New York Post were never promoted. A broader Big Four analysis showed the apps promoted 92% left-leaning outlets and only 17% of right-leaning ones. Have you been able to reach anybody at Apple Google, MSN to ask them questions about how they’re distributing the news?
David Bozell: I sent a letter to Tim Cook at Apple before he— he’s just recently stepped down, but offering to help. It was private correspondence, so I’ll keep it there. But I did. I did. The research is sound. The research has not been disputed. So, but, but that’s been the—
Sharyl Attkisson: Did you get any kind of positive response?
David Bozell: No, no response. Unfortunately.
Sharyl Attkisson: Do you sense this, what you’re describing, is an organized and propagandized effort, or just the way people feel and they’ve been given free rein to express opinions in the news?
David Bozell: I think it’s organized in the sense that it’s universal. Maybe not so much organized, it’s universal. Go get Trump. He cannot succeed. Conservatism The shrinking of government cannot succeed. Making America wealthy again cannot succeed. Protecting the American taxpayer cannot succeed. Exposing fraud cannot succeed. How organized is it? I like to think that the conservative movement has more, better, more fun conspiracy meetings than the liberals do, but certainly there’s gazillions of dollars being funded.

Major banks closed accounts based on political and religious views during Biden years: report
The investigation targeted the nine largest banks the OCC supervises: JPMorgan Chase Bank, Bank of America, Citibank, Wells Fargo Bank, U.S. Bank, Capital One, PNC Bank, TD Bank, and BMO Bank.
Major banks closed accounts and refused credit to conservative businesses, pro-life groups, and religious organizations, a report from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) found.
The report investigated 100,000 complaints and investigated 50,000 internal bank records, finding numerous examples in which customers’ accounts were closed, or they were refused credit based on their religious and political views.
The investigation targeted the nine largest banks the OCC supervises: JPMorgan Chase Bank, Bank of America, Citibank, Wells Fargo Bank, U.S. Bank, Capital One, PNC Bank, TD Bank, and BMO Bank.
“Today’s report provides irrefutable evidence that the nation’s largest banks have denied, debanked and discriminated against customers and lawful businesses,” Comptroller of the Currency Jonathan V. Gould said in a statement.
The report provides several examples of its findings. In February 2021, a payment processor owned by one bank closed the account of a merchant that sold merchandise promoting President Trump and the Make America Great Again (MAGA) brand.
In February 2023, one bank declined to provide financial services to a public education organization due to its partisan leanings—namely, the organization’s political arm’s endorsement of solely Democratic candidates.
One bank implemented an environmental and social risk management policy that restricted it from entering into a business relationship with customers who did not have policies that aligned with the bank’s responsible firearm standards. This included, for example, limitations on the sale of high-capacity magazines and restrictions on firearm sales to individuals under the age of 21.
The OCC noted that its work on this issue is ongoing, and it is considering actions to prevent banks from discriminating against customers or prospective customers on the basis of their political or religious beliefs.

‘Go F*ck Yourselves!’ Nate Silver Unleashes on Polling Company That Admitted It’s Fake
Despite having no history, formal credentials, or real data behind the vast majority of our releases, Wedgewood Polling was added to major polling aggregators, including The New York Times
Pollster Nate Silver sent a clear message to those behind a polling outfit that admitted it was pushing fake stats as a sort of social experiment: “go f*ck yourself.”
On the Still Counting podcast, Silver, Galen Druke, and Clare Malone dove into the drama surrounding Wedgewood Polling, which had become a somewhat influential polling destination until the people behind it admitted it was all bogus. They claimed the experiment was to expose the dangers in modern polling and reporting.
“Despite having no history, formal credentials, or real data behind the vast majority of our releases, Wedgewood Polling was added to major polling aggregators, including The New York Times, FiftyPlusOne, and VoteHub, and repeatedly treated as a legitimate data source,” Wedgewood posted to X.
The admission dropped just as the outlet was about to be exposed for pushing fake data.
“I say go f*ck yourselves. I hope you’re put in jail,” Silver said, though he added he did not mean what he was saying “literally.”
Silver argued that “people on Twitter are sometimes too kind to these enterprising college kids or whatever they are that start doing these kind of polls that are even at best kind of mediocre.”
He added that pushing “knowingly false information” is likely “still protected speech in a constitutional sense,” but he noted there could be major problems for the fake pollsters, especially since they crowdfunded some polls.
Silver argued fake pollsters can be motivated by manipulating prediction markets or simply having some kind of narrative power over specific elections.
“If you’re doing these sort of narrative-setting polls then maybe you are buying positions on prediction markets and then the line goes up and you cash them out or whatever else… or you have a political agenda,” he said.
