April 29th, 2024 11:36 AM

National Public Radio’s coverage of the anti-Israel agitators who’ve taken over progressive college campuses while spouting violent rhetoric at Jewish students has been no better than its tax-funded partner PBS.

April 25th, 2024 1:30 PM

Anyone who spends time reading about NPR on NewsBusters is going to roll their eyes when NPR executives blather about how they believe in "viewpoint diversity" and "inclusion" of important voices.

Utterly Woke NPR Puts Trigger Warning on Declaration of Independence

April 20th, 2024 11:01 AM

The hopeless wokeness of tax-funded National Public Radio has been confirmed by NPR senior business editor Uri Berliner, who started shockwaves with his Free Press essay “I’ve Been at NPR for 25 Years. Here’s How We Lost America’s Trust” providing chapter and verse of how NPR had become fully in the hands of the left. One example of anti-American wokeness is the “editor’s note” NPR staff felt…
