NPR Couldn't Do ONE SECOND on the House Hearing on Hunter Biden Probe
The PBS NewsHour offered five minutes of coverage on Wednesday of the House Oversight Committee hearings on slow-walking the Hunter Biden investigation, but National Public Radio could not find one second to cover the hearing on Wednesday night or Thursday morning. Even the top-of-hour newscasts had nothing, even as they promoted how Trump was facing prison time in the wave of…
NPR Hates Fox: Jesse Watters Is a 'Clown' Next to Carlson, O'Reilly
On Monday night, Jesse Watters took the plum spot of 8 pm on the Fox News Channel – the O’Reilly/Tucker hour – so it’s not surprising that NPR’s professional Fox-hater David Folkenflik tried to ruin the moment on Monday’s Morning Edition. His story was headlined “Fox's newest star Jesse Watters boasts a wink, a smirk, and a trail of outrage.” But his theme was that unlike his…
NewsBusters Podcast: NPR Coddles Kamala Harris... Again
It's your tax dollars at work, National Public Radio conducting another softball interview with Vice President Kamala Harris, with questions such as "what's your message?" and "what does an event like this mean to you?" Kamala gets to unspool ponderous long answers with zero fear of hardballs or interruptions.
NPR: Racist Whites Are Exploiting Asians on College Admissions Quotas
National "Public" Radio often airs very one-sided political advertising instead of news. This is especially true on "systemic racism." On Weekend Edition Sunday, NPR aired a six-and-a-half minute jeremiad on how white people were exploiting Asian plaintiffs to push a fake discrimination story on college admissions, and there was no dissenting view.
HOT TALK: House Democrat Whip Plays Debt-Limit Dominatrix on NPR
NPR would like the taxpayers to think that they're nonpartisan news for all people. But in reality, they're the favorite channel for hard-core lefties. They're like Fox News for the Pelosi set. Look no further than Friday's Morning Edition, where co-host Michel Martin interviewed House Minority Whip Katharine Clark of Massachusetts
To Diversify Their Audience, NPR Hosts Race Hustling Monday
NPR has a Strategic Plan to expand their "Black and Hispanic audiences on all platforms." This helps explain why they offered black leftists an open-ended publicity platform on Monday's morning and evening "news" programs. Minnesota's Attorney General Keith Ellison was given a softball interview about his book prosecuting the cops in the George Floyd case, with zero focus on the current crime…
Column: Eager Publicists for Racial Reparations in California
How insanely radical and unjust can blue states get? California’s nine-member Reparations Task Force voted May 6 to recommend that state lawmakers provide billions of dollars in compensation payments to black residents along with a formal apology for slavery. NPR touted the commision's work and wouldn't allow an opposing point of view. They strongly suggested white opponents were racist.
NPR Touts Dinner Comedian Roy Wood: He Wants Laughs AND Reparations
On Friday, NPR previewed the liberal comedy for the liberal journalists at the White House Correspondents' Dinner. Morning Edition co-host Leila Fadel interviewed the featured comedian -- Roy Wood Jr. from The Daily Show, who cracked that if he's really hilarious, President Biden will grant all black people reparations.
NewsBusters Podcast: Can’t Say Leftist Agitators Storm State Capitols
When leftist agitators storm state capitals, you can’t use those words. Leftist media won’t use labels for their own kind, and they won’t use “storm” for a left-wing disturbance inside a state capitol building. Two black legislators in Tennessee became instant media heroes when the Republican House majority expelled them for creating a disturbance on the House floor and violating House rules…
Column: Touting the Leftist Crusaders Against 'Book Bans'
The Left is in an uproar. Parents opposed to their indoctrinating ways are forming a resistance movement. One uproar is over books – assigned books in the classroom and available books in the school library. Disagree with the content of the books? You’re for “book bans.” The leftist press makes it sound like you’re banning books entirely from public view.
By The Numbers: How Fervently Did NPR Avoid Covering Garland Hearing?
On Wednesday, the Senate Judiciary Committee held its first hearing of the new Congress with Attorney General Merrick Garland. It was a rock-em, sock-em grilling by Senate Republicans, but NPR fervently avoided a story on it. But they found time for a four-minute story on a man setting a Guinness World Record for Disneyland visits, and eight minutes on "how curry took over the world."
NPR Cites 'Debate' on If God Needs Gendered Pronouns, Airs No Debate
National Public Radio shares the left end of the FM radio dial with religious broadcasters, but they have absolutely nothing in common. NPR has a long record of loathing orthodox Christianity. The latest proof? They promoted the Church of England exploring how God shouldn’t be described as Father or Son. That’s apparently the archaic patriarchy in action.
NPR Enables Jeffries: We Won't Pay 'Ransom Note' to GOP 'Extremists'
NPR sounded like National Democrat Radio again on Friday as Morning Edition anchor Steve Inskeep interviewed House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries. It was extremely reminiscent of Inskeep's regular puffball interviews with President Obama, as Jeffries is clearly trying to project that same fake-moderation, and Inskeep is trying to help.The NPR headline is the DNC headline: "Hakeem…
NPR AM Show Mocks Fox-Driven Gas Stove Panic, Ignores Their Own 'News'
NPR’s Morning Edition tried to have it both ways Friday, both mocking right-wing concern over banning gas stoves and also suggesting a ban could be in the works after all. The set-up was galling. Why would taking the head of the Consumer Product Safety Commission seriously when he said a gas stove ban was on the table require the expertise of NPR’s “conspiracy theory” reporter Lisa…
