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.

FIVE Reasons to Defund 'Public' Broadcasting

February 5th, 2025 10:00 AM

Now that Republicans have control of Congress and the White House and Trump’s “government efficiency” czars are looking hard at slicing the funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), it bears repeating: “public broadcasting” is not serving the public. It serves a narrow slice of America, an audience of wealthy liberal elites.

February 3rd, 2025 10:51 PM

According to content cops at Elon Musk's X, a tweet mocking CBS News for their softball interviews with Kamala and "Feeble Joe" was tagged under their "Hateful Conduct" policy. It's mocking someone's age or disability? Or is someone just super-sensitive about mocking CBS?

A taxpayer-funded sob story about federal workers being cruelly required to return to work at (gasp!) the office every single day aired earlier this week on National Public Radio’s show Morning Edition, headlined “Trump wants federal workers back the office, meaning longer days and added expenses.” But the single example offered wasn't exactly the stuff of a…

January 31st, 2025 6:01 AM

FCC Chairman Brendan Carr opened up a probe of NPR and PBS Thursday over their airing of commercial announcements. The New York Times warned of a “politicized” debate over public broadcasting. To suggest it tilts left "politicizes" it. But somehow, to tilt left is....not politicizing things?

NPR Labeled Stuck Astronauts 'Stranded' Until Trump Came Along

January 30th, 2025 12:47 PM

One of the media’s worst habits is its urge to contradict everything President Donald Trump says simply because he says them.

'PUBLIC' Broadcasting Watch: Who Cares About the March for Life?

January 30th, 2025 11:12 AM

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…
