NPR Anchor Finds GOP Veteran to Trash Conservatives as 'Post-Policy'

February 8th, 2024 3:19 PM

 We know about CNN Republicans and MSNBC Republicans, but there are also NPR Republicans. Brendan Buck, a former aide to Speakers John Boehner and Paul Ryan, is a semi-regular pundit on Meet the Press. On Thursday, Morning Edition anchor Steve Inskeep kept asking Buck to describe Republicans as insincere extremists who don't want to govern. Buck played right along, calling…

PBS Chuckles Over GOP's 'Seinfeld of Impeachment Votes' About Nothing

December 18th, 2023 12:32 PM

Washington Week with The Atlantic, public television’s tax-funded weekly political roundtable with an ostensible commitment to balance, went along 100% with the Democratic view of the Biden impeachment proceedings House Republicans officially launched last week.

NPR morning anchor Steve Inskeep appeared on MSNBC's Alex Wagner Tonight and infuriated leftist Joan Walsh for suggesting the Democrats were acting in their own interests (and not on principle!) in voting to dump Speaker Kevin McCarthy. Another leftist said he won't listen to NPR, or "Nice Polite Republicans," because of Inskeep.

Column: Eager Publicists for Racial Reparations in California

May 10th, 2023 5:55 AM

How insanely radical and unjust can blue states get? California’s nine-member Reparations Task Force voted May 6 to recommend that state lawmakers provide billions of dollars in compensation payments to black residents along with a formal apology for slavery. NPR touted the commision's work and wouldn't allow an opposing point of view. They strongly suggested white opponents were racist.

BYE!! NPR Quits Twitter Over Twitter’s (Accurate) ‘Govt.-Funded’ Label

April 12th, 2023 1:45 PM

On Wednesday morning, taxpayer-funded National Public Radio (NPR) upped the ante in its hissy fit against the Elon Musk-owned Twitter as, in light of the fact that Twitter added the “state-affiliated media” label to NPR’s account and then tweaked it to say “government-funded media,” the far-left crackpots would be quitting the social media platform because Twitter was “falsely implying that we…

NewsBusters Podcast: Can’t Say Leftist Agitators Storm State Capitols

April 7th, 2023 10:23 PM

When leftist agitators storm state capitals, you can’t use those words. Leftist media won’t use labels for their own kind, and they won’t use “storm” for a left-wing disturbance inside a state capitol building. Two black legislators in Tennessee became instant media heroes when the Republican House majority expelled them for creating a disturbance on the House floor and  violating House rules…

NPR Enables Jeffries: We Won't Pay 'Ransom Note' to GOP 'Extremists'

January 28th, 2023 6:46 AM

NPR sounded like National Democrat Radio again on Friday as Morning Edition anchor Steve Inskeep interviewed House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries. It was extremely reminiscent of Inskeep's regular puffball interviews with President Obama, as Jeffries is clearly trying to project that same fake-moderation, and Inskeep is trying to help.The NPR headline is the DNC headline: "Hakeem…

NewsBusters Podcast: Biden Visits Border, NPR Asks Why Border Control?

January 9th, 2023 10:52 PM

President Biden's visit to the border in El Paso was greeted by liberal media operatives in two noticeable ways. Either they sympathized with Biden's work on this "complex" issue, or -- like NPR's Steve Inskeep -- they asked Team Biden "why" they would tell people not to come to America and cross the border illegally? MRC Latino Director Jorge Bonilla offers his expertise on these matters.

NPR Attacks Rush Limbaugh and Salem Radio in Seven-Minute Hit Piece

January 7th, 2023 8:35 AM

On Friday's Morning Edition, co-host Steve Inskeep broadcast some unintentional hilarity when offering a seven-minute attack on conservative talk radio starring Katie Thornton, who has a liberal podcast series called "The Divided Dial." NPR's website summarized the segment as NPR "examines how right-wing radio spreads misinformation." The lodestar of this "misinformation"? The late…

NPR Analyzes GOP with Author of 'The Republican Party Lost Its Mind'

November 12th, 2022 6:37 AM

National Public Radio hates Republicans, and it doesn't matter if Republicans pay a chunk of their salaries. On Wednesday, Morning Edition anchor Steve Inskeep brought on New York Times Magazine writer Robert Draper, author of a book colorfully titled Weapons Of Mass Delusion: When The Republican Party Lost Its Mind.

Why NPR Can't Lecture Anyone About Refusing to Condemn Rioting

October 18th, 2022 10:20 AM

We know National Public Radio has promoted a book called In Defense of Looting and championed an author who wants riots to be described as "rebellions," as an admirable political tactic. On Monday's Morning Edition, NPR anchor Steve Inskeep welcomed a radical leftist author who thinks President Biden shouldn't have spoken out against rioting in 2020.

NPR Dumps Annual Reading of Declaration of Independence on July 4

July 5th, 2022 1:30 PM

Taxpayer-funded National Public Radio canceled their annual July Fourth reading of the Declaration of Independence. The surprise here is that NPR ever showed reverence for 1776 in the first place. They’re more marinated in the spirit of 1974, lobbying to impeach Nixon and lose the Vietnam War and enshrine abortion on demand.

March 16th, 2022 3:43 PM

National Public Radio broadcast ten minutes of an interview with Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Wednesday's Morning Edition.

Trump HANGS UP on NPR Host Pressing Him on 'Rigged' Election Claims

January 12th, 2022 7:47 PM

In his first presidential campaign and during his presidency, Donald Trump was interviewed by many liberal outlets but he never granted an interview to NPR and PBS. He understood that he was running as a populist and they are elitist channels. They’re taxpayer-funded, but sound like they’re Democrat-owned. That streak just came to an end.
