See How NPR Hacks Up Testy Interview with Ted Cruz
December 10th, 2015 8:30 AM
NPR Morning Edition host Steve Inskeep is a big fan of President Obama, and when he interviews him, he helpfully sets him up. In a recent interview on race relations, Inskeep added little prompts instead of questions. That’s not what Ted Cruz received on Wednesday’s show. Inskeep was blunt when discussing the new Trump idea of banning Muslims from entering America: "Which Muslims do you want to…
NPR Worries Hillary's 'What Difference' Is Taken Way Out of Context
October 22nd, 2015 11:50 PM
They were feeling Hillary Clinton's pain on Thursday's Morning Edition before the House special committee on Benghazi heard her testimony. Congressional correspondent Tamara Keith claimed Hillary's "what difference does it make" comment -- highly praised by the media at the time -- has been taken out of context by Clinton critics.
Back in 2013, NPR said Hillary suffered "not a scratch" and was…
NPR's Totenberg Pretends John Roberts Is 'Consistently Conservative'
October 6th, 2015 10:54 AM
As the Supreme Court term begins, NPR court correspondent Nina Totenberg played dumb on Monday’s Morning Edition, much like Adam Liptak at The New York Times. Why would conservatives dislike “consistently conservative” chief justice John Roberts?
Desperately employing rickety rationales twice to uphold Obamacare somehow doesn’t undermine “consistency.” Totenberg forgot Roberts being hailed by…
NPR Honors Anniversary of Atheist 'Dark Materials' Trilogy for Kids
September 27th, 2015 7:21 AM
On Saturday, NPR’s Weekend Edition celebrated atheist author Philip Pullman and the His Dark Materials trilogy he wrote for middle-schoolers, a sort of anti-Narnia series.

NPR Assails Objectivity As a Dishonest White Construct
August 23rd, 2015 7:52 AM
The police-bashing community organizers known as the “Black Lives Matter” movement have a healthy contingent of completely biased black journalist/publicists.

NPR Anchor Nudges Obama on Race With Praise from Leftist MSNBC Host
August 13th, 2015 2:11 PM
NPR Morning Edition anchor interviewed President Obama about just two topics: the Iran deal and race relations. On Wednesday’s morning show, Inskeep began with a question from the radical left – from black professor and MSNBC host Michael Eric Dyson – and then just prompted the president instead of really asking questions.
Dyson wrote a column for The New York Times going after the usual…

NPR Calls Hillary's 'All Lives Matter' Statement a '3-Word Misstep'
June 24th, 2015 10:56 PM
The politically correct speech police are everywhere these days. Many members of the leftist establishment have taken it upon themselves to aid in their enforcement efforts. No one is safe — not even the person they want us to believe is destined to be the Democrats' 2016 presidential nominee.
Yesterday, at a Florissant, Missouri church only five miles from Ferguson, Hillary Clinton uttered the…
NPR Touts Author Who Equates Interracial Marriage With Gay 'Marriage'
June 12th, 2015 9:45 PM
Friday's Morning Edition on NPR spotlighted the author of children's books who asserted that the push for the legalization of same-sex "marriage" is "the same struggle" as the fight against bans on interracial marriage during the 1960s. Karen Grigsby Bates marked the anniversary of the 1967 Loving v. Virginia case, which struck down anti-miscegenation laws in the United States, by featuring…

NPR Bewails Texas's 'Unqualified No' to Medicaid Expansion
May 29th, 2015 5:42 PM
Friday's Morning Edition on NPR did its best to try to promote the liberal cause of expanding Medicaid in Texas. Wade Goodwyn lined up six soundbites from pro-expansion talking heads, versus only two from former Texas Governor Rick Perry, an opponent. Goodwyn played up that "in hating the Affordable Care Act, the state is leaving on the table as much as a hundred billion dollars of federal money…

April 27th, 2015 9:58 AM

NPR Pretends Lynching In the 1920s Much Like Today's Police Brutality
April 19th, 2015 6:11 PM
Most Americans can see there is a vast difference between a time in America where racist mobs lynched innocent black men, and today. But NPR is full of liberals who like to engage in the slur that nothing has changed in American race relations. Now, apparently, the racist mobs are the police.

On Friday’s Morning Edition, NPR did a story on the revival of anti-lynching plays in the wake of the…
