Nets SKIP Another Biden Aide Taking the 5th, Obsess on Trump-Epstein
On Friday, ex-Biden White House deputy chief of staff Annie Tomasini became the third key aide to take the Fifth Amendment, invoking her right against self-incrimination and declining to way whether Team Biden “instructed her to lie” about Biden’s health. Network coverage? Zip. Zilch. Zero. But from Monday to Friday, the ABC/CBS/NBC evening newscasts spent more than 30 minutes on Jeffrey…
NPR Blames ‘Climate Change’ for Texas Floods and ‘Brutal Rainstorms’
The cuts to National Public Radio’s taxpayer funding have definitely been a long time coming. The leftist outlet is blaming climate change (there’s a surprise) for — wait for it — a lot of rain, in summertime!
Quiet Death: Networks Barely Cover Final Vote to Defund PBS, NPR
Despite the fact that their political correspondents were consumed by suddenly being concerned with a president’s health and their gleeful Epstein coverage, one would have thought ABC, CBS, and NBC could have still found time to go full Chicken Little about the House’s final passage of the $9 billion rescissions package that included a $1 billion clawback of funding to far-left PBS and NPR.…
CNN Uses FAKE Data, Says Trump Encourages Racial Gerrymandering
On the July 15, 2025 broadcast of CNN NewsNight, Abby Phillip and Tiffany Cross denounced Texas’s mid‑decade redistricting as “racial gerrymandering,” citing the claim that 95 percent of Texas’s growth since 2010 came from Black and Hispanic residents, and gerrymandering would undermine the voting power of minorities on the cusp of midterm elections. Abby Phillip opened the segment by…
Leavitt Destroys Hail Marys From NPR, PBS Ahead of Rescission Vote
While many in the White House press corps used their time Thursday afternoon to show sudden concern about transparency in the Jeffrey Epstein case, there were a few others who asked real questions about socialist Zohran Mamdani, Christians abroad, hospitals ending transgender surgeries for minors, reopening Alcatraz and, most importantly for those of us at the Media Research Center, the…
PBS's Last Gasp: Save Public Media for the Safety of Remote Alaska

NYT Editorial Board Compares Defunding NPR, PBS to ‘Defund the Police’
The New York Times leadership actually attempted to sell readers on the dimwitted notion that stripping tax dollars from leftist public media is just as nutty as defunding police departments. This is the same newspaper that largely rationalized nixing police funding across a number of stories over the past few years.
Defund NOW!! NPR CEO Pampered by CNN in Pants-on-Fire-Filled Interview
With $1 billion in taxpayer funding on the line as part of a rescission package the Senate could vote on late Wednesday, PBS and NPR have teamed with their liberal media allies to throw the proverbial kitchen sink at trying to maintain the farce of non-partisan, robust, and unique local programming that saves lives. That was the message Wednesday morning from NPR CEO Katherine Maher on CNN’s…
Shameless: NBC Hit Piece Falsely Claims Comer Uses Autopen Like Biden
On Tuesday morning, conservatives on X were set ablaze with a lunkheaded work of potbellied partisanship by NBCNews.com that insisted a scandal of rank hypocrisy was afoot: “Lead investigator into Biden's use of an autopen signed letters with a digital signature.” The man in question? House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) using Adobe Sign (or a similar software) to sign letters…
NPR Airs Puff Piece on Gay, Formerly 'Undocumented' Latino Democrat
NPR’s Weekend Edition Saturday devoted a three-minute story to the new ranking Democrat on the House Oversight Committee.

Pants on Fire: CBS, MSNBC Insult Rural America Defending NPR, PBS
Ahead of a likely vote this week on a rescissions package to claw back $1 billion in funding for National Public Radio (NPR) and PBS, CBS’s streaming platform and MSNBC went full doom and gloom and lied to viewers Monday, insulting their intelligence by arguing rural Americans rely on NPR and PBS as “critical” lifeline, “their only source of information,” and “emergency alerts.”
'HUGE Transfer of Wealth': Amanpour Turns PBS Into Socialist Channel
Thursday’s edition of Amanpour & Co., which appears on taxpayer-funded PBS, veered even further left than usual with a glowing interview of Mr. Socialist himself, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT). Host Christiane Amanpour’s set-up for the interview, which launched the show, left no mistaking where she stood on Trump’s big bill: On the hard left: "The bill ensures a huge transfer of…
Stelter Sees 'Very Loud and Convincing' Argument Against Public Media
The July 2 edition of Slate’s “What Next” podcast, “Is This the End of NPR and PBS?” began its argument for continuing to fund public television and radio with an ancient 1969 clip of Fred Rogers testifying before Congress. Before being officially introduced, guest Brian Stelter, CNN media analyst and all-around defender of the legacy media, was heard calling the clip “mesmerizing.” …
PBS Teams Up With Liberal 'Non-Partisans' to Bash Trump's Budget Bill
As President Trump’s big budget bill neared a crucial vote in the Senate on Monday, PBS News Hour’s most biased reporter, Laura Barron-Lopez, covered only one side of a critical part of the bill federal health care spending on Medicare and Medicaid. The sole guest for the segment not only represented a liberal health group, KFF (previously known as the Kaiser Family Foundation), but…
