NPR Show Selects Paranoid Leftist Caller: The GOP Might Rule Forever!

March 15th, 2025 9:09 PM

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 Pushes NY Times Reporter's Thesis: Trump Will 'Murder the Truth'

March 14th, 2025 5:15 PM

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.

Column: Network 'News' Bows Supinely to Trans Commands

March 14th, 2025 5:59 AM

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.

Cornish's Latest Republican: Stock Market Drop's 'Around Trump's Neck'

March 11th, 2025 11:44 AM

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.

NPR Lets D.C. Mayor Dump All Failings On Big Bad Trump

NPR Anchor Lets D.C. Mayor Dump All City Failures On Big Bad Trump

March 10th, 2025 5:18 PM

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…

UNFAIR Fight: PBS, NPR Use Their Money to Lobby for More of YOUR Money

March 10th, 2025 12:40 PM

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.”

WHOA: NPR Interviews Gutfeld, Fights With Him Over 'Racist' Asian Joke

March 8th, 2025 5:20 PM

NPR typically hates everything about Fox News, so it was shocking when Weekend Edition Saturday host Scott Simon interviewed Fox late-night host Greg Gutfeld. It's much more typical for NPR to toss roses at Stephen Colbert (in multiple softball interviews) when he's selling a cookbook (ka-ching).

NewsBusters Podcast: The Leftist Media Enforcers of Ideological Purity

March 7th, 2025 10:56 PM

Reporters like Oliver Darcy and David Folkenflik serve as sounding boards for the radical-left staffers inside liberal media outlets who are furious whenever owners or executives threaten to move any outlet toward the center, or make any move that seems to please President Trump. Vicious bias is equated with freedom of speech.

Former WashPost Editor Fears Financial Scrutiny of Public Broadcasting

March 6th, 2025 5:51 PM

With the Trump administration and Congress focused on cutting waste, fraud, and abuse from the federal budget, there’s an effort underway to make sure public broadcasting ended up under the microscope. The notion that public broadcasting would be held to any form of accountability, including the possibility they broke federal law, was apparently beyond the pale for former Washington Post…

‘PUBLIC’ Broadcasting Watch: PBS and NPR Trashed the Trump Speech

March 6th, 2025 9:25 AM

PBS and NPR know that Trump, Musk, and the Republicans are looking at defunding them, but they inevitably covered Trump’s speech to Congress with their usual anti-Trump tilt.

NPR's 'Public Editor' Dismisses Bias Claims, Pushes for NPR Subsidies

March 4th, 2025 12:40 PM

NPR's Public Editor is supposed to represent the audience. They proclaim, "The Public Editor stands as a source of independent accountability. Created by NPR's board of directors, the Public Editor serves as a bridge between the newsroom and the audience." But more often -- especially now with the threat of defunding -- there's not independence or accountability. There's just pro-NPR lobbying…

'PUBLIC' Broadcasting Watch: NPR's Tamara Keith Is NOT 'Independent'

March 2nd, 2025 9:20 AM

NPR White House correspondent Tamara Keith joined the conga line of journalists protesting President Trump for taking the press-pool and press-credential powers away from the White House Correspondents Association. As a former WHCA president, Keith tweeted: “An independent press makes our leaders more accountable and our nation stronger.” Keith is not independent. NPR and PBS both rely on her…

NewsBusters Podcast: Trying NOT to Yell at NPR's CEO Dismissing Bias

February 28th, 2025 11:04 PM

NPR CEO Katherine Maher came for a 15-minute interview at a Semafor summit on "trust in media," but it was a softball session. Instead of being pressed on NPR's liberal tilt, Semafor reporter Maxwell Tani was incredibly vague: "What have you done in your first year to build or restore trust in NPR?" I was in the room, and suppressed the desire to yell about the answer (and the question).
