All Things Considered

The cuts to National Public Radio’s taxpayer funding have definitely been a long time coming. The leftist outlet is blaming climate change (there’s a surprise) for — wait for it — a lot of rain, in summertime!

One easy way to see how NPR and PBS are taxpayer-funded Democrat Party platforms is to witness their recent interviews with the chair of the Democratic National Committee, Ken Martin. Neither turned to touchy internal issues, specifically the brief career of David Hogg as a DNC leader. The questions seemed geared to this: How do we win? Will Senate Republicans consider this on the…

On June 25, 33-year-old Democrat Zohran Mamdani became a new socialist sensation in the media when he won the Democratic primary for mayor of New York City. ABC, CBS, NBC, and PBS gave the "charming" extremist about an hour of air time. But when The New York Times reported he lied on a college application that he was "Black," none of them touched it.

As Congress debates defunding PBS and NPR in part because they are relentless liberal propaganda, Friday night's All Things Considered newscast on NPR championed...drag queens for climate activism. It's like Mad Libs for mad leftists. 

Here’s how it's so easy to identify the national media as liberal Democrats: They hate “moderate” Democrats. They love moderate Republicans. They despise disunity in their party, and love to fester disunity in the Other Party. This week, we’ve witnessed an outpouring of love for Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, which you would never see for a Joe Manchin.

While PBS can't even breathe the names "Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson" on the News Hour, NPR gave their book extensive time. First, there was 11 minutes with the two authors on Monday's All Things Considered. Then Tapper was interviewed for the hour on Tuesday on Fresh Air with Terry Gross. The host said "Republicans, I think, are very happy with your book," and "…

On Deadline: White House, host Nicolle Wallace brings on Michelle Norris, formerly of NPR's All Things Considered, now an MSNBC "senior contributing editor," to claim that President Trump's economic moves will bring about "malaise." Wallace echoes the M-word. Shades of Jimmy Carter!

Wednesday night sounded like "Protect My Public Media" night on NPR and PBS. NPR's All Things Considered put on their CEO Katherine Maher for what was basically seven-minute pledge drive for federal funding. She unveiled another unintentional laugh line. Asked about Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene saying they'd have to "hate us on your own dime," Maher claimed "We don't hate anyone in…

NPR is not an oasis of civility. On Friday's All Things Considered, they aired a positive story on black artist Amy Sherald, best known for painting a portrait of Michelle Obama for the National Portrait Gallery. In response to Trump's executive order cracking down on Smithsonian wokeness, Sherald said "I feel like every portrait that I make is a counterterrorist attack to counter…

Trans woman activist Dylan Mulvaney did a happy-go-lucky softball interview tour to promote the book Paper Doll: Notes from a Late Bloomer. The “mainstream” media are out of the mainstream on trans issues, and their extreme fawning and flattery only underlines it.

In her debut appearance on CNN This Morning, hosted by Audie Cornish, former George W. Bush official Ashley Davis says the stock market's recent dive is "around [Trump's] neck." An unfortunate metaphor in regard to someone who has suffered two recent assassination attempts.

PBS and NPR know that Trump, Musk, and the Republicans are looking at defunding them, but they inevitably covered Trump’s speech to Congress with their usual anti-Trump tilt.

The pundits may say Democrats are still "licking their wounds" from their 2024 defeats, but the recent Democrat meeting on February 1 focusing on how they must have a "non-binary" representative was underplayed by the media. Joe Klein used to be a prominent TV pundit and Newsweek columnist who loved Bill Clinton's more moderate style. On his Substack, he lamented the party now…

The average American awards some amount of undeserved prestige to "public" TV and radio merely by the branding of "public," like it's for all the people. But PBS and NPR are not acting for the entire "public." They are taxpayer-subsidized propaganda, and they often ignore or downplay news events that they do not support. Exhibit A for Abortion: the annual March for Life, which draws…
