Public Broadcasting

Last October, National Public Radio (NPR) was awarded a $1.9 million grant to make “editorial enhancements” – such as improving its objectivity – but, seven months later, the leftist bias of the taxpayer-funded public radio content organization rages on.

New York Times columnist David Brooks did the not-so-clever trick of insisting he wasn’t saying what he was indeed saying on Friday’s edition of PBS News Hour as he reflected back on Elon Musk’s time at DOGE by comparing him to Pol Pot, Mao Zedong, and Joseph Stalin.

As NPR faces the prospect of being defunded by conservatives, ABC's The View marked Jewish American Heritage Month by honoring former NPR anchor Susan Stamberg and NPR reporter Nina Totenberg, touted as the 'Queen of Leaks,' meaning leaks from Democrats seeking to damage Republicans.

On Friday, PBS followed NPR’s lead and sued President Trump over his executive order telling the Corporation for Public Broadcasting to stop funding PBS and NPR. PBS filed suit -- along side Lakeland PBS, which operates PBS stations in Bemidji and Brainerd, Minnesota -- "to safeguard public television's editorial independence," which is code for decades of liberal bias.

CNN and PBS host Christiane Amanpour stopped by the Harvard Kennedy School on Wednesday to deliver what was billed as a commencement address, but was really just a plea for the graduates to find the courage to fight back against nameless forces—but understood to be President Trump and people who support him—who are pushing America into a 1984 or Mussolinian state of affairs.

Katherine Maher, CEO of National Public Radio, continued her sympathy tour to save NPR from the Trump administration’s executive order, with a pit stop at NPR’s publicly funded cohort, PBS’s News Hour program. When gently challenged that Trump says NPR lacks viewpoint diversity, she comically claimed: "I first of all, respond by saying we're a nonpartisan news organization." 

NPR argues with a straight face that removing any taxpayer subsidies is a violation of the First Amendment. Apparently, liberal speech must be forcibly supported by conservative taxpayers for the Constitution to be upheld. Trained lawyer Dan Schneider exposes the nonsense.

PBS claims that they’re just great at promoting a diversity of viewpoints, but in reality, they mostly channel the left, and sometimes the far left….and they won’t identify them as left. On Monday, the News Hour promoted three leftist Democrats running in House or Senate primaries.

As its own future comes under threat by the Trump administration, National Public Radio unwittingly showed just what kind of job losses NPR has sympathy for -- DEI woke-work, not manufacturing jobs (i.e., many Trump voters) that actually involve making things. “Corporate America's retreat from DEI has eliminated thousands of jobs” is an expanded “digital…

CNN chief media analyst Brian Stelter welcomed NPR’s lawsuit “hitting back” at the Trump Administration on Tuesday as the outlet argues that removing their federal funding via executive order violates the First Amendment.

Paula Kerger, chief executive of the taxpayer-subsidized Public Broadcasting Service (PBS), recently told the New York Times, “In terms of the news, we work really hard to try to bring multiple viewpoints forward.” But as the second Trump administration begins and PBS comes under unprecedented existential pressure from the administration for its liberally biased evening news product,…

The “public broadcasting” elites argue with a straight face that removing any taxpayer subsidies is a violation of the First Amendment. On Monday morning, National Public Radio filed a lawsuit claiming that President Trump’s executive order telling the Corporation for Public Broadcasting to withhold funds from NPR is “a clear violation of the Constitution.” What nonsense.

Washington Week with The Atlantic host (and Atlantic editor) Jeffrey Goldberg devoted a full episode of his latest show, normally a political panel, solely to interviewing journalists Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson about their book Original Sin: President Biden's Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again. Tapper also brought up a couple of…

Americans just can’t seem to be able to own anything and enjoy their holidays in peace without some pretentious snobs in leftist media lecturing them to be "climate-friendly." For Memorial Day, NPR snobs were promoting electric grills in their hatred of fossil fuels.
