January 8th, 2024 6:43 AM

On The NPR Politics Podcast on Friday, a trio of NPR reporters expressed alarm that Joe Biden’s “better angel speech” at Valley Forge wasn’t winning the day, that opinion polls show backsliding on January 6 and Republican “disinformation” is taking over. Congressional correspondent Claudia Grisales brought up a Washington Post poll that found the percentage of Americans who say Trump…

PBS Anchor Reluctantly Asks Mayorkas About House GOP Impeachment Drive

January 5th, 2024 5:04 PM

On January 4, PBS NewsHour anchor Amna Nawaz interviewed Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas for nine minutes, but didn't get to the House Republican impeachment drive until the last question. Shouldn't that be the first question? Not when it's Republicans doing the impeaching.

Column: The Arrogance of the Media Creates an Illiberal Bias

January 3rd, 2024 5:49 AM

An essential ingredient in the stew of hysteria over a second Trump term is heavy-breathing concern for “vital institutions” like the press. On the badly named public-radio podcast Left Right & Center -- originating from KCRW, the NPR affiliate in Santa Monica, California -- former NPR morning host David Greene furiously pushed the panic button about the media in a year-end review…

December 28th, 2023 12:02 PM

On Tuesday, we took a look back at six moments from the past year when the questions inside the White House’s Brady Press Briefing Room skewed in favor of Hamas and against Israel. This time, we’re going to serve up six more times journalists showed their far-left bona fides, except this one will be more of the traditional sense as this summary touches on gun control and race.

Gaga for Gaza: Six WH Briefings Where Lefty Journos Shilled for Hamas

December 26th, 2023 1:53 PM

For decades, the liberal media have always had a soft spot for Hamas. Heck, even the Associated Press’s Gaza bureau shared a Gaza City high-rise with the barbaric Islamists. In the days following Hamas’s animalistic reign of terror on October 7, some in the White House press corps pestered National Security Council’s John Kirby during briefings with Hamas talking points. Check out the full…

Column: Tagging Evangelical Christians as a 'Polarizing Extreme'

December 13th, 2023 5:56 AM

It seems like every leftist network has welcomed Alberta to trash conservative Christians through his latest book, The Kingdom, the Power, and the Glory: American Evangelicals in an Age of Extremism. Alberta wrote this book to argue that Trump-supporting Christians are apostates and enemies of democracy. They are polarizing extremists. And what, by contrast, is the libertine left?

NPR Offers Leila Fadel Coddle to Liz Cheney

December 6th, 2023 4:47 PM

Taxpayer-funded National Public Radio was aggressively competing to be the most interview spot for Liz Cheney on Monday's Morning Edition. Anchor Leila Fadel was every bit as promotional as say, Asma Khalid was with Kamala Harris a year ago. Cheney is now in the pantheon of Democrat heroes.

Is NPR Just BLM Radio? TV Critic Gushes Over Ibram X. Kendi on Netflix

November 26th, 2023 8:30 AM

National "Public" Radio sounds a lot like Black Lives Matter Radio. The taxpayer-funded network has denied BLM leaders are Marxists, even as they plainly state they are. They've promoted books promoting black racial rioting against police as "rebellion" as well as In Defense of Looting. So it's no surprise they're going to offer a rave review to "antiracist" leftist Ibram X. Kendi's…

November 20th, 2023 4:56 PM

NPR's Weekend Edition Saturday could have also been titled Wishful Thinking Saturday, as they touted "The waning influence of Moms for Liberty." NPR anchor Scott Simon began: "The right-wing group Moms for Liberty has been a force in clashes over what public schools can teach or not about sexuality and race, but its influence may be on the wane."

Taxpayer-Funded PBS, NPR Promote Brian Stelter's New Fox-Trashing Book

November 19th, 2023 8:25 AM

Taxpayer-funded PBS and NPR loathe Fox News like all leftists do, and both promoted ex-CNN host Brian Stelter's second Fox-bashing book Network of Lies. Stelter hit his usual point about how Trump's a dangerous authoritarian, but he thinks it's a "very extremist posture" for Fox to "routinely assail Democrats as the enemy."

NPR Host Asks Jeffries About 'Extreme Right Wing,' Avoids Dem Radicals

November 16th, 2023 10:48 PM

NPR Morning Edition co-host Steve Inskeep interviewed House Democrat leader Hakeem Jeffries on Tuesday, and once again, he was every bit as accommodating as he was in his many softball interviews with Barack Obama. Inskeep asked if new Speaker Mike Johnson was "extreme right wing," but he skipped asking Jeffries about his party's extreme left wing, especially the censure of radical…

November 14th, 2023 4:25 PM

The nasty feminist blog named Jezebel was shut down by its owner G/O Media last week, after a long run of outrages. But NPR All Things Considered anchor Juana Summers interviewed its founder Anna Holmes and gushed over how it was essential reading and "really relevant." All Things Considered never considered a conservative rebuttal. Call it All Conservative Views Ignored…

NPR Lefty Listener Shock:60% See Anti-Israel Bias,24% Anti-Palestinian

November 9th, 2023 10:36 PM

National Public Radio’s “Public Editor” Kelly McBride dismissed complaints about NPR’s coverage of the Israel-Hamas war, examining it through a liberal prism and declaring it excellent, although even NPR’s uber-liberal band of listeners offered complaints the coverage was excessively pro-Palestinian. Two major pro-Israel media watchdog groups, CAMERA and Honest Reporting, have also…
