Domenico Montanaro

The latest Washington Week with The Atlantic on PBS was most notable for NPR senior political editor Domenico Montanaro's ludicrously imbalanced fact-checking of Trump vs. Harris and host Jeffrey Goldberg’s accusations of double standards in media coverage of the campaign -- in favor of Trump!

Taxpayer-funded National Public Radio demonstrated their ultraliberal tilt for the millionth time – at least that’s how it feels. NPR political director Domenico Montanaro organized a team to pore over Trump’s August 8 press conference transcript, and “found at least 162 misstatements, exaggerations and outright lies in 64 minutes. That’s more than two a minute."

On Sunday, after President Biden announced he would not run for re-election, political reporter Domenico Montanaro of National Public Radio turned up on PBS News Weekend and sounded exceedingly optimistic about the prospects of the presumptive Democratic nominee, Vice President Kamala Harris. Montanaro engaged in pro-Democrat happy talk and managed to have it both ways,…

Abortion is back in the news with a vengeance, after the Arizona Supreme Court reinstated a Civil War era ban on abortion and candidate Donald Trump reacted with a moderate, federalist stance on abortion. Friday’s episode of public television’s weekly roundtable panel Washington Week with The Atlantic was dominated by abortion politics as a life-saver for the Democrats (if not for the…

It’s clear who would win PBS’s vote for the Republican Party nomination: Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, who in the first GOP presidential debate bowed to “reality” by declaring a federal law against abortion a non-starter. Washington Week host Laura Barron-Lopez and NPR reporter Domenico Montanaro accused Tea Party activists and Tea Party rally attendees of racist thought,…

Two publicly funded media outlets, National Public Radio and the PBS NewsHour, sponsored a Marist poll to find out how Republicans feel about an issue the press has decided is urgent -- “climate change.” To their horror, it found Republicans would rather preserve living standards for humans rather than throw their money at somehow stopping the temperature from rising. NPR’s…

The phrase "Defund NPR" was trending on Twitter after NPR's tweet about Trump announcing a run in 2024 described him as Trump, "who tried to overthrow the results of the 2020 presidential election and inspired a deadly riot at the Capitol in a desperate attempt to keep himself in power," is running again. 

At the top of the NPR home page on Saturday morning was a fact-check piece of sorts by NPR senior political editor Domenico Montanaro headlined "GOP playbook on abortion is to push Democrats on restrictions and contort their words." Montanaro tried to argue that attempts by Fox News to reveal the Democrats are for an unlimited "woman's right to choose" were somehow misleading.

Maggie Haberman of The New York Times reports that the time for hardball has arrived. The Republican National Committee says it may require candidates to pledge to not participate in debates run by the Commission on Presidential Debates. In recent years, the moderators have caused controversy by insisting on "fact checking" the Republicans (and aiding the impression of victory for the…

Paul Bedard of the Washington Examiner pointed out the DNC war room's latest press release on Saturday's White House press briefing listed 23 tweets from "prominent reporters from the New York Times, CNN, MSNBC, NPR, Al-Jazeera, Washington Post, Huffington Post, and others."

President Trump hosted Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Löfven on Tuesday at the White House and, like with most foreign dignitary appearances, the two held a joint press conference featuring two reporters each from their countries. Right on cue, some liberals turned into snowflakes upon seeing Trump call on the Daily Caller’s Saagar Enjeti.
