The New York Times is not your most reliable narrator on all stories about NPR: their weekday podcast The Daily runs on hundreds of NPR affiliates, which creates an obvious rooting interest for the network. On Tuesday, Times media reporter Benjamin Mullin poured on the sympathy.

2025 marked a year of arguably unparalleled success for the NewsBusters team seeing as how, along with chronicling the best and worst in daily and long-term liberal media bias, we helped see to a successful conclusion a decades-long fight to defund National Public Radio (NPR) and PBS. As you’ll see below in our top-ten list of the most read stories, you’ll see NPR come up along with the major…

“Crime in the U.S. fell in 2025. Will the trend continue?” ran on the Christmas Eve edition of National Public Radio’s Morning Edition. But after months of coverage bashing President Trump for sending troops into cities to fight crime (i.e. “Do Trump's D.C. moves echo an authoritarian playbook?”) Trump gets no credit in reporter Meg Anderson’s good-news story about an…

Wikipedia's reliability remains contentious as Big Tech elevates its content despite its editable nature and left-leaning bias. Studies reveal that Google and AI platforms frequently prioritize Wikipedia's content, often to the detriment of conservative perspectives. Wikipedia's citation disparity highlights its favor for leftist media. There is growing concern that Wikipedia’s influence…

The PBS News Hour doubled down on its advocacy for transgender surgery for minors on Thursday evening, reacting with condescension and alarm to President Trump’s move to restrict so-called “gender-affirming medical care for minors.” This time PBS paired up with its (former) taxpayer-funded outlet National Public Radio. Co-anchor Amna Nawaz: "The Trump administration today took its…

In the Biden years, National "Public" Radio acted as a supine publicist for leftists with strong opinions on gender -- starting with HHS Assistant Secretary Rachel [Richard] Levine. On Friday, NPR global health correspondent Jonathan Lambert was putting out the warning siren with this headline: "America's new top health diplomat has strong opinions on abortion and gender."

National "Public" Radio loves the radical socialist Mamdanis. This is an easy exhibit in their dramatic ideological bias. On Tuesday's Morning Edition, co-host Leila Fadel offered a seven-minute softball interview with radical professor Mahmood Mamdani, twice describing his son Zohran Mamdani as a "political superstar." 

The left-wing dark money behemoth Arabella Advisors may have just dissolved, but that hasn’t stopped outlets from spewing its anti-Trump propaganda whenever they get the chance. Check this headline: "Tis the Season for Price Hikes: Popular Holiday Gifts Climb 26 Percent Under Trump."

NPR’s political analysts love to tell their leftist listeners that the Republican Party is in horrible shape, and they’ll locate the appropriate Experts to underline it. When the Democrats are evaluated, it’s an inside job. On Thursday, Mara Liasson only spoke to party regulars, no outside experts. She channeled hope.

How is talk radio doing when so many young people don't listen to broadcast radio? How can anyone stand listening to NPR? These questions and some free-speech concerns came up in a chat with Derek Hunter, an author and talk-radio host on WMAL-FM in Washington, DC.

Now that "Islamophobia" is back as President Trump called radical Rep. Ilhan Omar and her friends "garbage," the networks ran to pamper her again. One reason Trump might have called Omar “garbage” is her connections to the fraudsters in the Somali community.

After the January 6 riot, the media aggressively reported on people showing disrespect for police. But now, with the parties in power switched, suddenly it’s the media who favor “sedition,” in disrespecting law enforcement and the rule of law itself, especially on mass deportation. Exhibit A is National “Public” Radio and Odette Yousef, NPR's so-called “Domestic Extremism Correspondent.”

The Wrap just released a list titled “Changemakers 2025: 51 Women Who Made a Difference.” These women didn’t actually have to succeed to make the list. One duo of “Featured Changemakers” was NPR CEO Katherine Maher and PBS CEO Paula Kerger, who failed to stop the Republicans from rescinding their taxpayer funding in 2025.

Following in the New York Times’ footsteps, previously publicly funded outlet National Public Radio rallied around the Council for American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the discredited, Hamas-linked Islamic pressure group gilded as a Muslim “civil rights organization” by its allies in the elitist press. Andrew Schneider, senior reporter for politics and government at Houston Public Media, penned…
