On National Public Radio’s Morning Edition Wednesday, new show host Michel Martin invited a Kansas-based reporter to join her in a rhetorical frenzy against a transgender bill recently passed by the Kansas legislature: "Senate Bill 180 would force transgender people to use bathrooms associated with the gender on their birth certificate. It would also prevent them from changing their…

Former President Trump was arrested on 34 felony counts of bookkeeping fraud involving hush money and appeared in a Manhattan courtroom on Tuesday, as everyone in the world knows. PBS made the most out of the case, devoting a half hour of its evening “news hour” to multiple angles on the indictment. The dubious charges by New York district attorney Alvin Bragg involve years-old allegations…

When leftist agitators storm state capitals, you can’t use those words. Leftist media won’t use labels for their own kind, and they won’t use “storm” for a left-wing disturbance inside a state capitol building. Two black legislators in Tennessee became instant media heroes when the Republican House majority expelled them for creating a disturbance on the House floor and  violating House rules…

Former PBS NewsHour host Judy Woodruff is now reporting from the field, and previewed the state Supreme Court election in Wisconsin. Her primary political analyst was Charlie Sykes of the "center-right" site The Bulwark, who is an almost daily liberal presence on MSNBC.

Tuesday was a banner day for liberals and their media allies as not only did they see former President Trump arrested and arraigned in New York on 34 charges, but they flipped the Wisconsin Supreme Court and the far-left candidate won the Chicago mayoral runoff. But some still ended the day infuriated as Twitter chose to label National Public Radio (NPR) as “U.S. state-affiliated media.” As…

NPR media reporter David Folkenflik, who's been on an anti-Fox kick of late, went off on “right-wing media’s” “apocalyptic” coverage criticizing the legal case against Donald Trump and their attacks on Manhattan district attorney Alvin Bragg. Earlier, Trump and conservatives were baselessly accused on Friday’s PBS NewsHour of both racism (Bragg is black) and anti-Semitism (for…

Elon Musk’s Twitter finally confirmed what the Media Research Center has been saying for years: National Public Radio is nothing but state propaganda.

On Monday night's All Things Considered newscast, co-host Mary Louise Kelly covered the indictment of Trump as a serious conundrum for the media. Kelly brought on NPR vice president and executive editor Terence Samuel to think out loud about how the coverage might disappoint the audience. They will have reporters everywhere, but NO Trump statements live! 

Tax-funded PBS features the Amanpour & Co interview show, and the Tuesday edition featured a self-righteous gun-control rant by host Christiane Amanpour keyed to the murders at a Christian school in Nashville: "A bit of a cult...."  Amanpour once again called for her own bizarre version of “sensible gun control,” which looks a lot like the gun confiscation that occurred in…

Here's how "public broadcasting" works in America -- take a policy that two-thirds of the public oppose, and lecture them that they're all willfully ignorant. What? Then they do pledge drives asking for money from the public? Clearly, they think NPR listeners are in the intelligent minority. The cause on Monday was reparations to black Americans for slavery.

PBS NewsHour twice accused GOP critics of Manhattan D.A. Alvin Bragg and left-wing political donor George Soros of anti-Semitism on Friday’s show. Those doing the accusing were not cantankerous liberal guests, but host Amna Nawaz and White House correspondent Laura Barron-Lopez.

The PBS NewsHour attacked Donald Trump’s weekend speech in Waco, Texas, with host Amna Nawaz repeating the word “extremist” in her introduction before tossing to White House correspondent Laura Barron-Lopez. Barron-Lopez and her two liberal guests went far beyond Trump’s Waco rant to condemn substantive conservative policy and philosophy as racist and violent: "Adrienne in your piece…

After the horrific shooting murder of three children and three adults at a Christian school in Nashville on Monday, public broadcasting and the New York Times joined the rest of the press in emphasizing the real crime: Misgendering the shooter, “trans man” Audrey Hale, who was stopped and killed by the brave officers who arrived at the scene -- a woman who identified as a man. On…

The PBS NewsHour has an undeserved reputation as "straight news," or boring news. But a new MRC study of four months of the show's guests found a dramatic tilt to the Left -- 126 liberals/Democrats to 34 conservatives/Republicans. Clay Waters joins the show to explain his findings, and how PBS can sound a lot like MSNBC.
