The extent to which corporate media rigs elections for Democrats has been rigorously documented since at least Tim Groseclose’s 2012 book, “Left Turn.” In that book, the political scientist concluded through data-driven analysis that media bias on average shifts the electorate 20 points to the left on a 100-point political worldview scale. Without media bias, he argued, the average American state would be as Republican-leaning as Texas or Kentucky, and those two states would be even more conservative.
Media bias was highly visible even before Rush Limbaugh made it a regular feature of his top-rated radio show that became nationally syndicated in 1988. As the Trump era dawned, however, media coverage moved from biased to outright propaganda. . .
This corporate media smear machine was only one of the numerous unfair advantages Democrats exploited in the 2020 elections. My colleague, Mollie Hemingway, just put out a new, bestselling book that also documents things like big tech hiding election-shifting news from voters and Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg embedding Democrat get-out-the-vote operations inside local election offices — which are supposed to be nonpartisan! What’s more, all these cheats affixed into our nation’s election machinery haven’t been scrubbed away, not by a long shot.
While I work with Mollie and am highly aware of media corruption since it’s our bread and butter here at The Federalist, she still had many surprises for me inside “Rigged: How the Media, Big Tech, and the Democrats Seized Our Elections.” Here I’ll share a few things she reports in the book that made me gasp out loud.
1. The DNC Controlled All Poll Watchers for 40 Years
. . . “Shockingly, the 2020 contest was the first presidential election since Reagan’s first successful run in 1980 in which the Republican National Committee could play any role whatsoever in Election Day operations.”
What? Next sentence: “For nearly 40 years, the Democratic National Committee had a massive systemic advantage over its Republican counterpart: the Republican National Committee had been prohibited by law from helping out with poll watcher efforts or nearly any litigation related to how voting is being conducted.”. . .
2. Lazy Voting Biases Elections Towards Democrats
Also made clear throughout “Rigged” is that lazier and sloppier elections strongly advantage Democrats. This means long election seasons, mail-in balloting, and loose ballot behavior such as mailing millions and opening dropboxes all tilt elections towards Democrats. . .
3. Facebook Bought Joe Biden the Election
. . . “[Mark] Zuckerberg didn’t just help Democrats by censoring their political opponents. He directly funded liberal groups running partisan get-out-the-vote operations. In fact, he helped those groups infiltrate election offices in key swing states by doling out large grants to crucial districts. That funding was the means by which [Democrat] activists achieved their ‘revolution’ and changed the course of the 2020 election.” . . .
Facebook executives have boasted that they can shut off 80 percent of the traffic to any link they want. Facebook and Google blacklisting of conservative news sites such as The Federalist, The Daily Caller, and Breitbart has been documented since 2017. . .
half a billion dollars Zuckerberg gave to essentially fund a shadow elections system that again structurally advantaged Democrats. . . .
4. The United States Has Republican No-Go Zones
. . . In 2017, Portland canceled its annual Rose Parade after violent threats from Antifa, which objected to the Multnomah County Republican Party’s being included as one of the many civic groups marching in the parade. Forget Trump; it was unsafe for even an ordinary Republican to walk down the streets of Portland. And in canceling the parade, [Portland Mayor Ted] Wheeler effectively conceded that Antifa ruled the streets. . . .
Democrats are willing to concede the safety of Americans’ lives, limbs, and property to ideological allies, even when those allies openly commit violent crimes and threaten more.
5. The FBI Is Systemically Biased Towards the Left
. . . “[T]he agency had long focused its attention on right-wing extremists and was ill-equipped to deal with threats from the left,” she notes. . . .
…Even though decades had passed, the FBI was still skittish about the criticism it had received for infiltrating radical left-wing groups in the ’60s and ’70s.
The inaction in response to Antifa certainly helped take the pressure off Biden [in the 2020 campaign], who never had to answer for the bricks flying through windows, rampant looting, toppling of statues, and assaults on innocent business owners that defined urban life throughout the summer of 2020. To do so would have been to confront an uncomfortable truth — the Democratic Party and its allies have been tolerating, encouraging, and mainstreaming political violence for decades.
6. It’s No Longer Media Bias, It’s Media Lies
. . .
The New York Times publishing a Trump-smearing piece from an anonymous author it described as a “senior administration official,” meaning “someone in the upper echelon of an administration.” Of course, it turned out this person wasn’t any such thing. He was just a mid-level bureaucrat.
After giving the truly asinine details of that story, Mollie makes this comment:
If the New York Times was willing to lie about how high-level an anonymous source was for its very high-profile September 2018 information operation, what lies was it willing to tell about all the other anonymous sources it used? And if this is how one of America’s biggest newsrooms operates, readers are right to ask how much other papers and media outlets were willing to lie in support of their anti-Republican narratives. . . .
7. Mail-In Balloting Is More Outrageous Than Anyone Can Imagine
“Up to a quarter of a million votes were cast in Wisconsin’s presidential election without any identification check at all,” Mollie writes on page 66. I already knew a lot about how error-riddled mail-in voting is — I wrote about that when few would. But just encountering this new fact and realizing this represented just one swing state was another mind-blowing moment for me about just how corruption-enabling and confidence-destroying are vote-by-mail-tainted elections. . . .
If Republicans genuinely want to win elections — and that is sadly in doubt — they have no choice but to use whatever power they have to make those elections trustworthy again. That means in-person voting, with ID, for everyone except the truly disabled, and returning to an election day, not an election season.
The left and their media are going to lie about Republicans no matter what they do, so they might as well get secure elections out of the never-ending smear cycle. Republican voters don’t believe the media anyway, so why do any of their elected officials? Remember, admitting you have a problem is the first step towards recovery.

Since August of 2020, the constant & relentless (but gentle) still small voice has prompted me to pray for honesty and forthrightness to become “desirable” again in our nation. Lying, 1/2 truths, deception, etc. have become the “norm” in many of our leaders, companies, etc. It has to stop.
My prayers have centered around just about every area of our daily lives, asking God to bring forth truth, honesty, revealing corruption, etc. Not surprisingly, I continue to see the false layers peeled back in our government, companies, big pharma, etc.
There’s an old saying “that truth will find a way”. As we are faithful to pray for that, God will honor our prayers. There is no freedom when people hide in darkness or their sinful secrets. I have prayed more “unconventionally” in the last 1+ years than ever – especially in the arena of politics, government and those that lead. To be honest, it’s somewhat exhausting because, as most of you know, the mountain of lies that has been allowed to exist is unmeasurable. Dr. Benet Omalu wrote a response article to WAPO because the paper purposely lied and defamed him. Why – because he was responsible and unrelenting in exposing one of the greatest cover-ups in pro sports now called CTE. The article is called “We are becoming a nation of lies”.
*Lord, continue to shine Your light on the hearts of mankind. Draw the hidden secrets, lies and deception out – do not let it hide any longer. It will be painful for many to go through but temporary pain is so much better than eternity spent in hell. You alone Lord gave victory at the cross so that all of mankind could have the opportunity to spend eternity with You. We pray that honest, righteous and Godly leaders would continue to be raised up in our nation. We continue to ask for Your holy hand to pull back the curtain of deceit and deception that so many willfully hide behind. Allow any protection for them to be removed. Remove and/or prevent the ungodly from occupying or winning offices or positions that will mislead people in our communities, states and at the federal level. You alone are God Almighty and we ask for Your divine help in revealing corruption of all sorts. Let there be accountability for laws broken. May that prosecution and accountability lead many to fear God and turn their lives over to You. Help us to do so with the right heart and never out of vengeance or spite. We want to serve and influence others for Your kingdom Lord. Amen.
Lord, I pray that YOUR truth, YOUR righteousness, and YOUR justice reigns in all the elections today and in every entity (governments, businesses, schools, churches, families, etc.) in this nation. You founded this nation through our founding fathers. They sought You and looked to You for guidance. I pray that this country turns back to You.
I pray that anything done illegally, any lying, deceit, and manipulation will be brought into the light. That no one will be able to cover it up. I pray that those who are doing so will be held accountable and will have to face the consequences. Raise up individuals to take a stand on Biblical principles, what is right in Your eyes.
So much is going on right now. It is so difficult to keep up with all the evil that is going on. Lord, we don’t know what to do, but our eyes are upon You. Guide us and direct us. Give us Your wisdom, discernment and strategies in abundance. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen!
Father, may we, your church, live to honor you no matter what happens. May we look to you, repent, and pray for our nation. Only you can restore our nation, through the prayers of your people as we look to you. May we fight where we can but not in bitterness, but trusting in you for many to come to you because of the problems we see.
President Trump, not being a politician when he ran, and won, upset a lot of “politicians,” (both Democrats and Republicans) Big tech, media and Big corporations, etc.!! Matter of fact, I don’t think any of them saw Trump coming, and certainly not winning!! If President Trump would have been “allowed” to win the last election, those same groups KNEW their “goose would be cooked.” Trump would have cleaned house, no doubt. They couldn’t allow Trump to upset the “planned agenda” we are seeing today take place. That’s why most of us know that the election was totally fraudulent!
I agree with Mollie about Republicans! If they want to win an election, they better learn to use any power they have to make sure voting is trustworthy again, because we know it’s not now. However, I’m not seeing many Republicans step up and do that! They are making a big mistake.We the people are going to have to get very involved in our elections. We have to somehow change these one-sided strongholds and “rules” in our states. The DNC should not be able to control all poll watchers with the RNC not being allowed in! I admit, I wasn’t aware of that! Why haven’t Republicans done something to change that?? I don’t understand that! Mollie’s information is stunning. It is very concerning that this one sided situation has been allowed to go on all these years. Shame on the FBI, and all our national security, for what they allowed Antifa t destroy, all because of politics!! No wonder we have this mess!! God’s Word says “occupy til I come.” We have to do just that!
Abba Father, the corruption in this country concerning elections is bigger than all of us but not bigger than You. Father, You see it all! Expose and reveal all election corruption and fraud throughout this nation. Forgive us, the body of Christ, for the times we have been complacent and apathetic towards our election system not doing our due diligence in researching candidates. Thank you for waking us up and I boldly ask that You will bring this nation back to free and fair elections in Your mighty name. Raise up godly men and women of integrity who walk in righteousness, holiness, and justice to sit and rule in positions of authority across this land. I boldly ask for this in the mighty name of Jesus!!!
Jesus is coming back soon; not for Republicans or Democrats, blue or red, left or right. “That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.” (Ephesians 5:27). “Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world.” (John 18:36a). This being said, we, the Church are his subjects. This world is not our home. “Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ,(by grace ye are saved;) And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus.” (Ephesians 2:5-6). We are in the world, but not of the world. ” Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.” ( 1 John 2:15-16) We, as the Body of Christ, have gotten our kingdom agenda priorities out of order. We can tell what matters most by what we discuss most. This world, and all the mess that goes along with it, is going to pass away. God’s Kingdom will last forever. Why are we wasting our time and energy on something that has no value? We should be about Our Father’s Business: Kingdom building.
“For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?” (1 Peter 4:17). “For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.” (2 Corinthians 5:10). “And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light.”
(Romans 13:11-12). We should be living our lives as if Jesus would return this very moment.
PRAISE GOD FROM WHOM ALL BLESSINGS FLOW! PRAISE HIM ALL CREATURES HERE BELOW! PRAISE HIM ABOVE YE HEAVENLY HOSTS! PRAISE FATHER, SON, AND HOLY GHOST! AMEN!
And just how are Republicans going to use power to make elections trustworthy again? We have no power any longer. The Democrat-Communist party holds everything from our public school system, universities, and journalism schools, to social media, main-stream media, and entertainment. Even half the Republican party “leans liberal” no doubt from Democrat plants. RINO now equals Democrat. We need to first use our “power” to cleanse our own house. We must face the fact and loudly proclaim – with evidence – that Democrat is now Communist!
President Trump should be using his vast financial power to buy out one of the main stream media outlets and encourage conservative True-Blue Americans to invest so we may proclaim the Truth 24/7 against the lies of Democrat-Communists. Of course they will try to stop that with their democrat-controlled court system.
Only GOD knows how fed up I am with all of the negative reports, the democrats, the media, big tech, the Supreme court, biden, harris, and obama! This is not their land! This is our land! As we pray, if GOD says “Go up, and HE will give us the land”, We had better be prepared! I for one will not see America become Nazi Germany without a fight! I bind these unruly demons all across America and command them to cease and desist all of their demonic maneuvering immediately in the MIGHTY Name of JESUS CHRIST! Saints, cover yourself and your family and your door posts and belongings with the Blood of JESUS! Stay in your Bible and sing praises unto our GOD as we go into battle! Amen!
They will fight (enemy of Christ) against you..but will not OVERCOME you, for I AM with you and will rescue you declares the Lord. Jer 23:9.
I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to OVERCOME all power of the enemy..nothing will harm you! Luke 10:19.
The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not OVERCOME it! John 1:5.
Do not be OVERCOME by evil, but OVERCOME evil with good. 1Jn 4:4.
You, dear children are from God and have OVERCOME them because Thee One who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world. 1Jn 4:5.
Who is it that OVERCOMES the world? Only the one who BELIEVES that Jesus is the Son of God. 1 Jn
So, in Jesus name and the power of His blood (upon us) take His authority given us and wield it at the enemy like Jesus did…speaking, declaring the WORD of GOD at The enemies of the CROSS Of Our LORD and Savior, our deliverer and healer! Amen
I would like to share this with GAB, GETTr and CloiutHub, but none of those are listed as sharers. Only Facebook ad Twitter and they will both “fact-check” as incorrect, and tell me MY facts are off, and it won’t get posted. Is IFA going to add some other places we can share?
You can share it to your text or email and then share it on the places you want to send it!
I sure hope and pray that the election in Virginia will be a much better one than the Presidential election. Lord, I pray that the truth will be uncovered and that today’s election would be honest and with more integrity. Please Lord, I pray that Youngkin, with Your help, can be the next Governor in Virginia. Va. really needs new leadership, for sure. In Jesus name, amen.
It was, and is still, painfully obvious that the most recent “election” was stolen, and that the Dems and their radical cronies- Zuckerberg being their front-man- stole the election, just as dictators like Putin do. What is alarming, is, that it appears that the days of honest, free, fair elections are long-gone. The Globalist elite, who want to carve this country up like a Thanksgiving turkey, are behind all this. Biden is their puppet. Lord, apart from Your intervention, the evil Globalist Elite is going to have their way, and destroy this country. You alone have the power and authority to bring their shenanigans to an abrupt halt. The honest, hard-working people of America deserve to have the truth revealed about this rigged election. By your grace, Lord, let Your will be done in the events of this nation. In Jesus’ name.
After 2020 stolen elections many republicans became more aware about the corruption.
May the Lord convict and break us of our apathy and ignorance!
I pray to our living God, we would step out in grace and power to fulfill those roles that help make a difference.
The dominion machines need to go and why is it that no one seems to be able to take them out?
Where are the judges that need to get these corrupt companies in trouble??
How many people have been arrested in this last year and are things happening behind the scenes that is not getting coverage by the media?
There are enough Americans that are troubled deeply and they care, but we need to know how to connect the dots, we need to be trained to challenge all aspects where their is room for corruption.
We can’t just sit back and think God is going to take care of this, we need to do our part!!
He is able to do the impossible, but he uses his people to accomplish the task. We need His guidance and protection.
Father, this seems impossible, but with You all things are possible. Would You please give us the wisdom and strategies from Your throneroom to turn this around? We rely 100% on Your help! You are more than able to do exceedingly more than we can ask and we thank You for fair and honest elections. For us, our children, and our children’s children or as long as you tarry…
In Jesus Name we ask and thank You, amen.
If we as believers cannot overcome this evil onslaught America will fall .. Father our eyes are on you , we depend only on you our defender!! In Jesus name we unite and stand firm against these influences of evil !! Amen
Yes, Father! We depend solely on you. Please open eyes of all your precious children in America to see this is a real crises for our Republic! It is about honesty in elections which is neither just a Democratic nor just a Republican party issue. Please continue to stir American hearts, Holy Spirit; let us confess our sins of omission and commission in America and seek your forgiveness for the state of affairs in America.
May we treasure and guard our Republic as Godly Christian Trustees as we move forward. Remember our in the elections across this land and in the halls of government. Grant favor to those would serve justly with wisdom from You! Thank you for America and our opportunity to thrive these 200+ years. May our future generations always remember our repentance and your forgiveness & your promises kept. We are reminded of the Founding Fathers who prayed to you when they were working out both the Declaration of Independence and our Constitution. Thank you for leading them! Thank you for hearing our prayers, too. Amen.
