'Balanced' PBS SMEARS Parents' Rights Movement as QAnon Kook Fringe

At the beginning of the PBS NewsHour is a subtle graphic with these words: “HONEST BALANCED TRUSTED.” There was nothing honest and nothing balanced on Friday night as our taxpayer-funded "newscast" smeared at least half the country who believe it’s inappropriate to teach kindergarteners sex-ed lessons as Q-Anon conspiracy kooks. It puts the BS in PBS.

The COVID-19 Authoritarians Panic Over the End of the Mask Mandates

Dear NPR: Why Leave Nina Totenberg's Sister's Name Out of Your Story?

National Public Radio energetically reported on left-wing attempt to cancel Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene from the ballot in Georgia, and "a judge" who allowed their crusade to continue. But there was an ethical problem: The enabling judge's name was Amy Totenberg, the sister of NPR legal correspondent Nina Totenberg.

Uber Clueless About the Market

The media's ignorance about basic economics is galling. I expect it from politicians. I expect it from The New York Times. But it's sad to see in the New York Post, my town's rare alternative to Democrat media. Recently the tabloid freaked out over higher prices imposed by ride-share companies. “New Yorkers are fed up with forking over excessive amounts for Uber and Lyft…
