On Tuesday during a White House press pool Q&A ahead of a meeting with prospective U.S. Ambassadors, President Donald Trump gave his support to the House Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) Subcommittee as it prepares to hold a hearing Wednesday with the heads of taxpayer-funded National Public Radio (NPR) and PBS, adding “I’d be honored” if he were the president to finally defund…

PBS News Weekend helped their brethren at NPR promote a podcast series on Sunday in a segment headlined "How online misinformation is ‘supercharging’ conspiracy theories." Podcaster Zach Mack made a three-part podcast on how his conservative Christian father has gone down a "rabbit hole" of conspiracy thinking.

Rooting for bad things to happen to your adversaries isn't unusual. But when Rush Limbaugh said "I hope he fails" about incoming President Obama in 2009, leftists suggested he should be executed for treason. Now, people are talking about vandalism against Elon Musk's Tesla vehicles and dealerships, and crowds cheer and laugh as the Tesla stock price sinks. The double standard is obvious, with…

NPR recently hosted a debate between two sides. No, it's not between Democrats and Republicans, but between liberal Democrats and really radical Democrats. On Tuesday's Morning Edition, the establishment Democrat was old Clinton spinner Paul Begala, and the radical was Waleed Shahid.

Right now, the guardians of the "public" broadcasting empire are defending their tax subsidies by claiming it's somehow extremely unique, and not just another liberal set of networks. In reality, PBS and NPR are echo chambers for legacy liberal media outlets. The NPR talk show Fresh Air has lavished hours on The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Atlantic, and other…

On Monday, PBS News Hour followed NPR's Fresh Air in promoting New York Times reporter David Enrich's anti-Trump book Murder The Truth: Fear, the First Amendment, and a Secret Campaign to Protect the Powerful. Right-wingers from President Trump to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas are cartooned as "truth murderers."

In recent years, Washington Post columnist George Will has not been our favorite. I called him "Jennifer Rubin with shorter hair." But he still pens a conservative column from time to time, clearly upsetting left-wing Post subscribers with a Sunday column suggesting the Corporation for Public Broadcasting is useless, and should be defunded.

One way you can identify the leftist tilt on NPR stations is by listening to the callers that are taken on NPR-distributed talk shows. On the latest episode of Left, Right, and Center, coming out of KCRW out of California, the host (or "center") David Greene set the agenda with a paranoid leftist caller who asked what's to stop Trump, the congressional Republicans, and the…

NPR loves The New York Times, and vice versa. On Tuesday, NPR's Fresh Air granted most of its hour to a 44-minute interview with David Enrich, the paper's business investigations editor. His new book focusing on Donald Trump and Justice Clarence Thomas is titled Murder The Truth: Fear, The First Amendment, And A Secret Campaign To Protect The Powerful.

Trans woman activist Dylan Mulvaney did a happy-go-lucky softball interview tour to promote the book Paper Doll: Notes from a Late Bloomer. The “mainstream” media are out of the mainstream on trans issues, and their extreme fawning and flattery only underlines it.

On Monday's Morning Joe, MSNBC gave author Steve Oney a forum to promote his book, On Air: The Triumph and Tumult of NPR, and to lament the possibility that the "down the middle" NPR will be defunded by Republicans.

In her debut appearance on CNN This Morning, hosted by Audie Cornish, former George W. Bush official Ashley Davis says the stock market's recent dive is "around [Trump's] neck." An unfortunate metaphor in regard to someone who has suffered two recent assassination attempts.

D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser sounded off Monday on NPR about her municipal government’s relationship with the Trump administration. Interviewer Michel Martin allowed her to pass along the buck for all and any of her own failures to the federal government, headed by the hated President Trump, and especially federal employment cuts, directed by the even-more-hated Elon Musk, and challenged her on…

If you want to defund PBS and NPR, it’s an unfair fight. Public broadcasting uses all its own resources – including its taxpayer subsidies – to lobby for more taxpayer money. NPR station WBEZ in Chicago sent an email titled “Stand up for public media — your voice matters.” The graphic inside proclaimed “PROTECT FREEDOM OF THE PRESS: Support public media.”
