NPR Lines Up Liberal Boosters of 'Path to Citizenship' For Illegal Immigrants

By Matthew Balan | April 11, 2013 | 19:12

A  A

NPR's David Welna stacked his Thursday report on Morning Edition full of liberal politicians and activists who support granting citizenship to illegal immigrants. Welna aired sound bites from a representative of the left-wing SEIU, three Democratic politicians, and a woman who has illegal immigrant family members. He only included one clip from a Republican – Senator John McCain, who has long been a supporter of "comprehensive" immigration reform.

The correspondent also spent much of the segment spotlighting a recent Capitol Hill demonstration in favor of a so-called path to citizenship, where many of his liberal talking heads spoke.

NPR: An Unnamed President's Dire Sequester Threats Haven't Panned Out -- But Maybe They Will Later

By John Williams | April 10, 2013 | 11:21

A  A

Some prominent US leader made threats about immediate dire consequences that would occur if the sequester went into effect, but NPR doesn't seem to know the identity of that leader. In a lengthy nine-minute piece featuring an NPR host and six NPR correspondents, the word "Obama" was nowhere to be found.

On Friday's Morning Edition, taxpayer-subsidized NPR's most-listened-to show, fill-in host David Greene said that "we heard some ominous warnings" about the results of the sequester, but he didn't identify the source of those "ominous warnings" -- nor did any of the six NPR correspondents in the piece: Brian Naylor, Tom Bowman, Julie Rovner, Yuki Noguchi or Claudio Sanchez. Instead, they spoke of potentially devastating harm that may occur at some point in the future.

NPR Promotes 'Notable...Gay and Catholic' Woman as Next Mayor of New York

By Tim Graham | June 25, 2012 | 15:19

A  A

When it's Sunday on National Public Radio, it must be time to announce the Catholic Church is out of step with  modern times. On Weekend Edition Sunday, NPR granted a soft-soap eight-minute interview to New York City Council Speaker Christine Quinn, the front-runner to succeed Michael Bloomberg as Mayor. NPR touted: "Christine Quinn has a notable biography. She's from an Irish family, she's Catholic and gay."

She's so "Catholic" that her "wedding" to Kim Catullo last year featured her walking down the aisle with her father to Beyonce's "Ave Maria," which is just another love song, not the actual Hail Mary hymn in any way. Her partner marched down the aisle with her dad, too...to Bruce Springsteen. NPR anchor David Greene asked as one of the "most powerful gay women" in America, if she shouldn't just leave the church that won't accept her homosexuality:

On D-Day, NPR Highlights Hip-Hop Harpy Who Sings American Dream Is 'A Lie'

By Tim Graham | June 06, 2012 | 23:03

A  A

While Bill Press hates the National Anthem on air, National Public Radio championed a hip-hop attack on the notion of the American Dream  – on the 68th anniversary of D-Day. They really know how to time these attacks.  NPR’s Morning Edition celebrated a band called Tune-Yards (or, to be completely ridiculous, they spell it tUnE-yArDs) deconstructing My Country ‘Tis of Thee.

Anchor David Greene explained: “That notion of a better tomorrow for those who work hard enough is pervasive in American literature, art and music -- and so is the opposite idea, that the American Dream is just a fantasy.” The story wasn’t really reported, just narrated by the band’s artiste, an angry woman named Merrill Garbus.

NPR Cites Far-Left Think Progress, Former Kerry Aide In Anti-Romney Report

By Matthew Balan | April 02, 2012 | 22:52

A  A

NPR's Tamara Keith filed a one-sided report on Monday's Morning Edition about Mitt Romney's "apparent shift in emphasis, if not an outright reversal" on the issue of energy policy. Keith cited the "liberal news site Think Progress" as one of her main sources for her report. She also turned to a former aide to Democrats John Kerry and Deval Patrick without giving his political/ideological affiliation.

Fill-in host David Greene spotlighted in his introduction to Keith's report how "the GOP candidates have seized on price spikes as a line of attack against President Obama, largely saying the answer is more domestic oil drilling. But one of those candidates, former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney, used to have a position somewhat contrary to that."

NPR Slams Perry on Abortion with Objections of 'Family Planning Advocates'

By Matthew Balan | September 21, 2011 | 19:41

A  A

On Tuesday's Morning Edition, NPR's Wade Goodwyn carried water for pro-abortion activists who are targeting Governor Rick Perry and the Texas legislature for cutting the state funding of "women's health clinics." Goodwyn didn't give an ideological label for the activists, referring to them merely as "family planning advocates," and highlighted their objection that some of the cut funds were now going to crisis pregnancy centers.

Hosts Steve Inskeep and David Greene pushed a liberal talking point against the Republican presidential contender in his introduction for the correspondent's report: "Texas has been attracting people who move there for jobs. At the same time, though, more than a quarter of the state's population has no health insurance, which is more than any other state. Hospital emergency rooms and dozens of women's health clinics have been filling the gap." Greene continued that "this year, Perry and the state legislature drastically cut funding for the clinics."

Eric Holder's World Cup Soccer Blackout

By Tim Graham | December 13, 2010 | 00:32

A  A

After the debacle that was the high-profile Oprah-and-Michelle-Obama politicking in Copenhagen to get the Summer Olympics in Chicago in 2016, it might not be surprising that the networks weren't heavily tracking the U.S. bid to attract the World Cup soccer tournament for 2022. (You could argue that U.S. sports fans are much more indifferent to the World Cup than to the Olympics.) The American delegation that traveled to Switzerland included soccer stars, and former president Bill Clinton, and an Obama cabinet member. The Secretary of Commerce, perhaps? No, Attorney General Eric Holder.

When the tournament was awarded oddly to Qatar on December 2 (promising air-conditioned stadiums since summer temps are in the 120s, not to mention how global warming might ruin the planet by 2022), there was no mention on ABC,CBS, or NBC -- or The Washington Post, or the Los Angeles Times, or USA Today, for that matter. But that night, Monica Crowley and Sean Hannity did take it apart on Fox News:
