Oakland GOP Wants to 'Force Mainstream Media to Start Reporting the Real News'

This is accurate news, really -- though we get why it may seem concocted or exaggerated to embarrass a group of suburban Republicans.

The truth is that any humiliation would be self-inflicted. We report, you decide.


Facebook graphic from the Oakland County Republican Party.

"Republican activists" in Oakland County are urged by local party leaders "to take part in boycotting the Mainstream Media and Fake News Outlets" until next Saturday, Nov. 11. The only four examples identified are at right in a graphic posted Saturday on the local party's Facebook page, though the boycott presumably also covers CBS, The New York Times, The Washington Post and other daily newspapers.

The illustration accompanies a four-paragraph call to action, which also was emailed to members.

A few dozen activists gathered outside the group's Woodward Avenue office in Bloomfield Hills at noon Saturday to sign an election week media boycott pledge and show support for President Trump. A photo of 25 people is shared on Facebook, along with this post: "OCRP is out strong today as we March 4 Trump!"   

Oakland's Republican Party is chaired by Theresa Mungioli of Rochester Hills, a General Motors project manager. 

Here's what it tells members:

Fellow Republican Activists,

For the last year we have been in a battle with the Mainstream Media and Fake News Outlets trying to report bias news that promote the Liberal Agenda. The time is now to combat their efforts with Operation Boycott!

From November 4th through November 11th, we are encouraging all our activists to take part in boycotting the Mainstream Media and Fake News Outlets. Instead we encourage you to record/DVR your favorite TV shows to watch later and watch movies to show the Mainstream Media and Fake News Outlet that they can not sway the American people with their bias/one sided reporting.

We encourage our activists to get their news from sources like Fox News, Drudge Report and Breitbart News. When you find something that you know the Liberal Media will not report, please share the stories to your friends on Facebook and Twitter. Your continued sharing of these articles will steer the narrative and potentially force the mainstream media to start reporting the REAL NEWS!

The only way they will listen if we are loud and clear. So let your voices be heard!

We pledged to present just the facts and leave any observations and conclusions to you because this is real news. So we'll just leave it here this time.
