BEATDOWN: Doocy, Wegmann Shellack Biden WH on Afghanistan Failures
To go along with two horrendously bad Pentagon press briefings and another at the State Department, the White House joined in Monday afternoon with a shellacking at the hands of the press corps on Afghanistan. For this installment, National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan and Press Secretary Jen Psaki took fire from all angles, ranging from Fox News to NPR. Led by Fox’s Peter Doocy and Real…

Pent-Up Press Unleash on Biden’s Afghanistan Disaster, Growing Chaos
After dodging journalists and ping-ponging from the White House to vacation, back to the White House, Joe Biden finally faced the music and talked to pent-up journalists about his Afghanistan disaster. Although the President called on just five reporters, they hammered Biden for badly botching the situation.

NPR Uses Database for 'Source Diversity,' But Not Viewpoint Diversity
We've noted that NPR's Public Editor Kelly McBride has kept her day job as an executive of the Poynter Institute, the parent organization of PolitiFact. So when Poynter touts something wonderful at NPR, we can assume their liberal partnership is clicking.

NPR 'Public Editor' Tells Stelter NPR Should Ignore the Conservatives
Everyone knows that NPR is liberal. On the Reliable Sources podcast, CNN's Brian Stelter found that NPR public editor Kelly McBride found there were two kinds of criticism about media bias. The left-wingers care about NPR and they matter, and the right-wingers don't have "genuine criticism" that needs to be taken seriously.

State-Run Radio: NPR Polishes John Kerry's Apple About Climate Change
NPR sounds most incessantly like State-Run Radio on dearly held socialist issues like mitigating climate change. On Wednesday's All Things Considered, the conservative view on climate wasn't considered. NPR host Audie Cornish facilitated remarks by Biden climate envoy John Kerry. He wasn't really questioned as much as assisted

PIVOT! WH Reporters Join Fear-Mongering Campaign on Covid Restrictions
After a week that consisted of vehement pushback against the Biden administration’s new mask edict and threats of bringing back crippling Covid restrictions, the liberal media decided on Friday to fall in line during the White House press briefing with only Fox News’s Peter Doocy remaining skeptical about this sudden change.

NPR Strips Down on Protests: Let Your Progressive Flag Fly, Reporters!
National Public Radio is bowing to pressure from leftist journalists inside their workforce, and loosening restrictions on their "objective" reporters marching in protests for the "freedom and dignity of human beings." We can all guess this verbiage doesn't mean they all wanted to participate in the March for Life or an NRA event. As often happens, NPR is leading the rest of the press further…

NPR Promotes Author Who Wants Race Riots Defined as 'Rebellions'
Last August, National Public Radio promoted a book titled In Defense of Looting. On Monday, the NPR Politics Podcast aired a "Book Club" segment where the NPR fans were supposed to read a book together, and this case it was a book titled America on Fire: The Untold History of Police Violence and Black Rebellion Since the 1960s. NPR correspondent Danielle Kurtzleben…

Lying About ‘Misinformation’ to Justify Tyranny
This week, President Joe Biden was asked whether he had any message for social media amidst a dramatic rise in the number of diagnosed COVID-19 cases thanks to the delta variant. Biden immediately responded that companies like Facebook were responsible for murder: “They're killing people -- I mean, they're really, look, the only pandemic we have is among the unvaccinated. And they're killing…

Doocy, Colleagues Rain Fire on Psaki Over TX Dems Spreading COVID
Tuesday’s White House Press Briefing was a welcome reprieve as Fox News’s Peter Doocy found himself with more than a few colleagues willing to join him in grilling Press Secretary Jen Psaki as ten reporters (including Doocy) lobbed one question after another about Texas Democrats fleeing Austin for Washington D.C. and triggering a superspreader of coronavirus cases.

OMITTED: Cuomo Says COVID Gave Him a 'Tremendous Personal Benefit'
As Dr. Anthony Fauci prepares for another round of Sunday morning network interviews, it would be fun to imagine a news media that actually put Gov. Andrew Cuomo on their Sunday shows and peppered him with skeptical questions. The New York Post ran a story headlined "After $5.1M book deal, Cuomo calls pandemic ‘tremendous personal benefit’." The front page had the headline "LA DOLCE…

Whose Frog Is Boiled? NPR's Metaphor Abuse on Abortion
On Friday night, NPR devoted a segment to assessing the just-concluded term of the Supreme Court, or they guessed how much damage conservatives were aiming to cause with three Trump-appointed justices. One pundit warned of a slow end to abortion, which would be like a frog boiling in water. Who's dying right now in the abortion fight?
Column: NPR's Ritual Shaming of Tom Hanks
Few movie stars have been more exalted than Tom Hanks. You’d never expect a guy with his nice-guy branding to get a strong slap in the face in the political arena. But Hanks penned a “guest essay” for The New York Times lecturing on racism, which opened him up for a shaming from the Left.
Sorry Forrest: NPR Blasts Hanks for Encouraging 'White Exceptionalism'
Tom Hanks is a well-meaning liberal. He shares all the obligatory lefty pieties of Hollywood, but he doesn't hate America. Not like, say, an NPR employee does. So when Hanks penned a New York Times op-ed calling for U.S. schools to teach the Tulsa Massacre and other episodes of American racism, he probably expected a pat on the back. What he got was race-obsessed bile.
