Will the GOP Make Liberals Generous Again?
Before politics overwhelmed the word, the primary meaning of "liberal" was "generous." President Donald Trump and the Republican Congress have given political liberals a chance to take that meaning back — by opening their wallets to show just how much they value NPR, PBS and other programs defunded by the GOP. There’s no shortage of cash on the left: Laurene Powell Jobs, the mega-rich backer…
NPR Mourns the Fate of 'Fact Checking' as Glenn Kessler Takes a Buyout
One way that you know Washington Post "Fact Checker" Glenn Kessler was a liberal anti-Trump warrior is how National Public Radio was so sad to see him leave the paper. "In an era where false claims are the norm, it's much easier to ignore the fact-checkers" was the sad line they quoted from his final column.
MSNBC Melts Down After CPB Shut Down Announcement

NPR’s Morning Edition Does Democrats’ Positive Rebranding for Them
On NPR’s Morning Edition Thursday, host Steve Inskeep, alongside reporter Stephen Fowler, discussed what the future of the Democratic Party would look like following an interview with Former Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg.

BREAKING: CPB Announces It's Shutting Down Next Month, Bozell Reacts
Deadline.com is reporting the Corporation for Public Broadcasting is shutting down its operations after the loss of federal funding.

NPR Offers a Puffy Platform for Mayor Pete, Unlike Their Bannon Banter
On Wednesday’s Morning Edition, NPR host Steve Inskeep interviewed potential 2028 presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg. The tone was chummy, with questions asking how Democrats can tweak their tactics and win elections. That's not like an earlier interview with MAGA strategist Steve Bannon, which was much more contentious.
NPR Plays Up Trump 'Endlessly Linked In Story After Story' to Epstein
“Public” broadcasting will always go after Trump, so their Week In Politics segment on Weekend Edition Saturday obsessed over Jeffrey Epstein. NPR political analyst Ron Elving claimed "right now, Epstein is the one name in the news as often as Trump, and the two are being endlessly linked in story after story, with all those chummy photos from back in the day."
Snobby PBS-NPR Station Manager: Conservatives 'Don't Listen or Watch'
The playbook for the PBS/NPR lobby in the defunding fight has been to send liberal journalists to talk with station managers in small communities in red states, as if that somehow represents the Eastern leftist elites that make the programming on "public" broadcasting. Politico's "West Wing Playbook" column talked to Don Dunlap, a station manager in Corpus Christi, Texas. He said people…
NPR Panicking Over CA Hospital’s Cuts to Gender-Affirming Mutilation
On All Things Considered on Tuesday, NPR was able to take some time out of their busy schedule crying about cuts to their government funding to worry about cuts to another program just as undeserving of taxpayer dollars: “gender-affirming” mutilation of minors. Affiliated reporter Megan Jamerson of KCRW reported on the spreading fear as Children’s Hospital Los Angeles announced it…
BREAKING: CPB Gave Tax Dollars to George Soros-Backed Censorship Giant
It’s bad enough that the Corporation for Public Broadcasting had been funneling millions in tax dollars to leftist propaganda mills NPR and PBS over the decades. But what if we were to tell you that the CPB funded one of America's "fact-checking" giants backed by George Soros responsible for censoring conservatives on social media platforms for years? Because that’s exactly what we’re about to…
NPR Chief Claims ‘We Report on Soybean Farmers and LGBTQ Activism’
Status newsletter founder and former CNN media reporter Oliver Darcy interviewed NPR chief executive Katherine Maher on Sunday about the awfulness of what she saw (at least through Darcy’s paraphrasing) as a decision that was “politically motivated, structurally damaging, and devastating to rural communities where public broadcasting is often the last reliable source of local…
CBS Drags Out Far-Left NPR Affiliate to Decry Funding Cuts, Deny Bias
Tuesday’s CBS Mornings Plus gave a spotlight to last week’s passage of a rescission package to take back $1 billion in taxpayer funding for far-left propaganda outlets NPR and PBS by commiserating with the interim news director for KZYX, the NPR affiliate in Mendocino County, California, a coastal and wooded area north of the Bay Area. Unsurprisingly, the arrogance was on display with the…
