Column: NPR Promotes 'The Communist Manifesto' in 2023
It’s entirely predictable, even inevitable, that public broadcasting would favor socialism in all its programming. But it’s a little more surprising when it openly touts The Communist Manifesto. The NPR-distributed show On The Media celebrated the "stalwart text" with a British author who thinks resistant conservatives are the best argument for communism.

SMEARS: NPR Happily Relays Student Comparing DeSantis to Fidel Castro
Leftists like the ones at National Public Radio think it's super-kooky to compare Barack Obama or Joe Biden to communists, but apparently it's just "news" to let leftists compare Ron DeSantis to Fidel Castro. On Thursday's bizarrely named All Things Considered, there was another completely one-sided story ripping DeSantis.

PBS’s Anti-'Monopoly' Screed: ‘Greed’ Is How Capitalism Game Is Played
Not even widely beloved board games are immune from the left’s ruthless politicization of daily life. The newest edition of the Public Broadcasting System series American Experience delves into the history of the famous board game Monopoly in “Ruthless: Monopoly's Secret History.” But not content to relay the sordid history of how Parker Brothers-anointed game “…

Racist Trump, Wise Sharpton: PBS’s Hard-Left Hip-Hop Doc Spews Bad Rap
PBS’s four-part docuseries Fight the Power: How Hip-Hop Changed the World, marking the 50th anniversary of the musical genre, was unapologetically leftist and political. Produced and hosted by rapper Chuck D., the series has featured musicians from Snoop Dogg to Jay Z to Eminem, with appearances by black professors, activists, and journalists, and….racial arsonist Al…

Post-Trump Blahs: National Public Radio To Cut Jobs by Ten Percent
Donald Trump bragged that the media's economic fortunes would decline if he wasn't president any more. Leftists wouldn't need the media so much to keep them updated on a daily basis on whether America would survive. The latest proof? Liberal-pleasing National Public Radio announced they would be laying off ten percent of its workforce,

PBS: School Board Debates Over ‘Gender ID’ Increase LGBTQ Suicide Risk
Host Amna Nawaz introduced Monday evening’s PBS News Hour segment: “Teenage girls in the U.S. are experienced record high levels of violence and sadness. That is according to a recent CDC report,” leading into Stephanie Sy’s interview with Sharon Hoover of the National Center for School Mental Health. The discussion really went off the rails when Sy and Hoover managed to link “gender…

NPR Lauds ‘Gender-Affirming Care' for Kids, Fears ‘Chilling' Fla. Ban
“Florida bans gender-affirming care for transgender youth. Parents raise concerns,” by Melissa Block, “an NPR special correspondent covering gender issues,” appeared on taxpayer-funded National Public Radio’s Morning Edition Monday. Block’s long, utterly one-sided profile included a portrait of teenager Liz Bostock, “[a]ssigned male at birth.” With a soft, celebratory focus on…

NPR: Santos Is ‘Embodiment’ of New GOP ‘Shamelessness’ (Clinton Who?)
NPR’s Tamara Keith fired the latest salvo in the media’s attempt to imply Democrats have higher moral standards than Republicans. Keith used the embarrassing story of newly elected Republican Rep. George Santos and his myriad lies to make a version of that argument – that GOP shamelessness rules the American political landscape, on Wednesday’s Morning Edition.

NPR Touts Biden as 'Strong and Vigorous Man,' Hails His SOTU Lies
On NPR's Weekend Edition Saturday, host Scott Simon sounded like state-run radio as he touted Biden's latest physical showed "a strong and vigorous man" as Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley "openly played the age card" in her announcement. NPR political analyst Ron Elving insisted "any kind of dissing of old folks is a risky strategy and likely to backfire." Liberals…

NPR Cites 'Debate' on If God Needs Gendered Pronouns, Airs No Debate
National Public Radio shares the left end of the FM radio dial with religious broadcasters, but they have absolutely nothing in common. NPR has a long record of loathing orthodox Christianity. The latest proof? They promoted the Church of England exploring how God shouldn’t be described as Father or Son. That’s apparently the archaic patriarchy in action.

NPR Uses Nikki Haley Launch to Cry GOP Racism: 'Disgusted With...GOP'
Nikki Haley served as the U.N. ambassador under President Trump. Before that she was South Carolina’s first female governor. But when she announced her candidacy for the Republican presidential nomination on Valentine’s Day 2024, the greeting from National Public Radio was no lovefest. As one example, Friday’s Morning Edition tried to sell a Lincoln Project senior advisor as a “…

NPR Begs Greta Thunberg to Cut Biden Some Slack on the Climate
NPR sounds like State-Run Radio when they bring on radical anti-capitalists and then argue in favor of the Biden administration. On Valentine's Day, All Things Considered anchor Ailsa Chang begged 20-year-old Swedish climate extremist Greta Thunberg to understand the Democrats are trying to save the planet the way she wants.

Column: The Comedy of Liberals Hating Liberal 'Jesus' Ads
The high-dollar advertisements on Fox’s broadcast of Super Bowl 57 were pretty light and humorous, except for the dead-serious black-and-white messages pushing the message “Jesus: He Gets Us.” The liberals at CNN and NPR freaked out, and AOC cried "fascism."

The PBS Guide to Self-Loathing White Wokery in 'Queer Life' Poetry
PBS News Weekend on Sunday featured one of its occasional “Brief but Spectacular” segments, which often smuggle in left-wing perspectives under cover of a slightly wacky (for public broadcasting) presentation. This week’s bit of woke propaganda comes in the guise of a poet of the “queer life,” Adam Falkner. Host John Yang introduced Adam Falkner as “a poet, musician, and educator. He…
