Column: Who Will Deprogram the Radicals at National Public Radio?

February 21st, 2024 5:53 AM

One of the grandest fictions of our leftist media is that somehow, championing “social change” is what makes you a “bona fide news organization.” Anyone who resists that siren song isn’t a professional, but a propagandist.

Column: Internal Democrat Worries Aired on NPR

January 12th, 2024 6:20 AM

National Public Radio is a sandbox for the Left. The “news” there is manufactured by leftists, for leftists. You can find it easily in the latest interviews about the Biden re-election campaign. The interviewers are clearly nervous that Biden’s messaging isn’t working. It’s not that Biden’s incompetent, it’s that voters are ignorant.

December 6th, 2023 4:47 PM

September 9th, 2023 6:34 AM

On Friday's Morning Edition, NPR lamented the "surge" in book bans across America.
