In a country that claims to value freedom of the press, there’s a growing crisis the public hasn’t fully reckoned with: the silence and complicity of local and mainstream media in the destruction of families at the hands of state agencies like DHR and CPS.

While parents are dragged into courtrooms, labeled as monsters before ever being heard, the media often plays its role like clockwork. A mugshot. A headline written to inflame. A few selective details fed by law enforcement or a government agency.

And just like that, the public is swayed.

There is no fact checking of the removal process.

No coverage of the 30-day rush to terminate parental rights.

No balanced account of the trauma inflicted on children when they’re taken without real cause.

No story on the decades-long consequences for families falsely accused.

No follow-up when cases are dropped, or when the very same workers responsible disappear from accountability.

Why?

Because telling the truth would mean confronting the system that funds, supports, and politically props up these narratives. And let’s be honest: some of these outlets are more concerned with staying in the good graces of power than standing up for what’s right.

We’ve seen newsrooms turn a blind eye to corrupt DHR workers with open complaints, ignore family court judges who openly abuse discretion, and sanitize stories that should’ve sent shockwaves through our state.

In doing so, they fail the public.

Media is supposed to be a check on power. But when journalists act as a microphone for DHR and law enforcement without demanding transparency, without asking hard questions, they’re no longer serving the people. They’re serving the machine.

Even worse, by blasting biased reports to the public before a family has ever had their day in court, the media actively contaminates jury pools. They shape public opinion before any facts are heard. And they do it with impunity. The damage isn’t just reputational. It’s legal. It destroys the chance for a fair trial and feeds the machinery of wrongful removals, convictions, and family breakdown.

Your cookie cutter reporting is already raising red flags. We are screenshotting, screen recording, and keeping record of every corrupt journalist who aids in this sick behavior. Your oath did not include this. You did not become a journalist to serve as a mouthpiece for child removals rooted in lies. You aid, and we will publicly dissect your role, piece by piece.

If you don’t start doing your job, the people will.

Independent media. Social media. Testimonies recorded on cell phones. Audio. Video. Documentation. The truth is coming out with or without you.

To every family who’s been smeared and silenced: Keep your records. Keep your receipts. The era of unchallenged narratives is over.

This movement isn’t just against DHR. It’s against every institution that stood by and let families be destroyed.

And yes, that includes the media and all of their complicit journalists.

If the media ran a story about your family without ever contacting you, and you now have an outcome that proves they got it wrong, reach out.

We are tracking every instance of biased, harmful reporting that helped fuel wrongful removals, prosecutions, and family separation.

Your story matters.

Your receipts matter.

The public deserves to know how deep this goes.
