National Public Radio still has an ombudsman, a "Public Editor," to respond to public complaints. That's appropriate, since the public pays for NPR. Often the liberals who dominate the NPR audience complain when they feel NPR is insufficiently "progressive." So it was a little shocking when Public Editor Kelly McBride admitted on October 4 that they botched an online story attacking…

On Friday, President Biden made his first appearance in the White House Briefing Room with only three and a half months left in office after years of calls from reporters across the political spectrum. Sure, he only took questions for just over eight minutes, but the press corps made sure to throw this unique opportunity away with a combination of open-ended foreign policy queries and…

This week, MRC researchers conducted the same searches for “donald trump presidential race 2024” and “kamala harris presidential race 2024” every day for four days starting Sept. 30. Google continued to flood its search results with articles from leftist media outlets and videos above former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign websites. Altogether, Google…

An MRC Free Speech America study reveals that Google News promotes left-leaning news outlets when searching for political figures like J.D. Vance and Tim Walz, raising concerns about media bias and freedom of speech. The research shows that searches for these names yielded results almost exclusively from leftist sources, such as The New York Times and CNN, while conservative outlets like Fox…

Alana Goodman at the Washington Free Beacon showed three national news outlets easily repeated Gov. Tim Walz claiming he was in Hong Kong when the Tiananmen Square protests broke out in Beijing. Minnesota Public Radio discovered Walz was not in China at that time, and that Walz's staff could not provide evidence otherwise. 

Researchers from MRC Free Speech America found that Google elevated left-leaning news sources in search results for  "donald trump presidential race 2024" and "kamala harris presidential race 2024." Before finding either candidate's news site a must wade through leftist news sources but not a single right-wing source. This skewed positioning, which downplays the prominence of top right-wing…

NPR media reporter David Folkenflik appeared on Weekend Edition Saturday to discuss how “even after being debunked, fringe ideas and lies can still become major campaign themes.” That meant it was a Trump segment, and Folkenflik suggested Trump's complaints about Jewish voters suggest something "Jews have experienced over the decades and centuries, certain kinds of targeting and…

As America braces for a wild 2024 election after the second assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump, voters should be reminded why they shouldn’t trust legacy media talking heads like ABC’s The View co-host Ana Navarro who downplayed it. Many of the prominent figures in the media are explicitly connected to Democrats.

The badly disguised Democrats at PBS are having a hard time with this second assassination attempt on Donald Trump. They barely passed over it on Sunday night, and on Monday night, News Hour anchor Amna Nawaz and NPR reporter Tamara Keith savaged Trump-Vance again for demonizing Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio. 

Before the debate, ABC's evening newscast never described Kamala Harris with an ideological label since Biden was forced out. One way that liberal journalists put a protective bubble around their candidate is to pretend she’s somehow above ideology. It's just an attack coming from Donald Trump and J.D. Vance, and therefore it’s just negative advertising, not news.

In every election cycle, it is abundantly easier for Democrats to appear to have “momentum” when the media prattle on about their supposed momentum. It is easier to declare Democrat campaigns are “flawless” when the media steamroll over any flaw that emerges. It is easier to look “really smart” when journalists tell everyone you’re smart.

The latest Washington Week with The Atlantic on PBS was most notable for NPR senior political editor Domenico Montanaro's ludicrously imbalanced fact-checking of Trump vs. Harris and host Jeffrey Goldberg’s accusations of double standards in media coverage of the campaign -- in favor of Trump!

On their regular "Week In Politics" chat on NPR’s Weekend Edition Saturday, host Scott Simon asked NPR senior Washington correspondent Ron Elving how Kamala Harris and Tim Walz performed in their sit-down CNN interview. Elving said you knew they were fine because conservatives trashed CNN and Dana Bash after it aired.

Leftist media outlets like National Public Radio may not have forgotten entirely about the assassination attempt on Donald Trump, but it doesn’t enter their brains when “Republicans for Harris” compare Trump to an enemy in mortal combat. In this case, it’s Pelosi-Picked Panelist Adam Kinzinger.
