By Tim Graham ~ When National Public Radio appeals for donations, it explains its mission is “to create a more informed public — one challenged and invigorated by a deeper understanding and appreciation of events, ideas and cultures.” That’s fancy talk for one-sided propaganda. NPR listeners aren’t “challenged and invigorated” by two sides of a […]
By P.J. Gladnick ~ Remember “funemployment?” That was a concept introduced during the Obama administration during 2009 to make people feel better about rampant unemployment by portraying it as a fun thing. Well, flash forward to the inflationary era of 2022 during the Biden administration and National Public Radio has come up with something similar. Not […]
By Tim Graham ~ We know National Public Radio has promoted a book called In Defense of Looting and championed an author who wants riots to be described as “rebellions,” as an admirable political tactic. On Monday’s Morning Edition, NPR anchor Steve Inskeep welcomed a radical leftist author who thinks President Biden shouldn’t have spoken […]
By Tim Graham ~ On Friday night’s All Things Considered, National Public Radio questioned why on Earth the NFL is popular, and seemed to root for its popularity to decline over sexual harassment investigations and accusations of discrimination. The online headline was “Scandals? What scandals? Here’s why fans are still watching the NFL.” The summary? “No […]
By Clay Waters ~ Suddenly, the liberal press is worried about disease-related stigma. During the Covid hysteria, the press, including National Public Radio, pushed mask and vaccine mandates and contributed to the liberal dehumanization and banning from public spaces of the unvaccinated via vaccine passports, while pushing for school closures that deprived public-school children of education and […]
By Tim Graham ~ Beatles fans of all ages can flock to Disney Plus for a new documentary called “Get Back” that reassembles footage of John, Paul, George, and Ringo creating music as the band begins to dissolve. NPR used the occasion for guilt-trip clickbait: “How did we get stuck with the idea that four […]
By Tim Graham ~ NPR achieved something truly “woke” in a story on Thursday. Jaclyn Diaz wrote an entire story on pregnant mothers and vaccines without ever using the word “woman” or “women,” but using “pregnant people” or “pregnant person” seven times. Even the headline stayed vague: “Are You Pregnant? The CDC Really Wants You To […]
By Tim Graham ~ Democratic candidates generally don’t have much to fear from interviews on National Public Radio, but Morning Edition anchor Steve Inskeep raised our eyebrows by pushing Beto O’Rourke a bit on Friday on what people will be forced to give up under liberal climate-change policies. The liberal media often focus on the […]
By Tim Graham ~ The National Public Radio talk show 1A did an hour on new “restrictive” laws on abortion on Tuesday, but it was not a debate, it was a pro-abortion show. Substitute host Sasha-Ann Symons announced “we understand passions run very high, but we want today’s conversation to focus on the impact and […]
By Tim Graham ~ Ramesh Ponnuru at National Review pointed out that NPR standards-and-practices guru Mark Memmott issued a new memo — a “guidance reminder” — instructing his taxpayer-funded staff how their language on abortion should not concede anything to “antiabortion groups.” It isn’t about objectivity. It’s about using language to shift public opinion. According […]
By Tim Graham ~ On Friday’s night’s All Things Considered, the Week in Politics segment began by pushing the theme that the Republican rhetoric about “mobs” is all wrong, and will harm them in the midterms. NPR anchor Ailsa Chang (pictured) brought no context about protesters mobbing the front door of the Supreme Court, or […]
By Tim Graham ~ White House chief of staff John Kelly surprised the liberal media by granting an interview to National Public Radio, something Donald Trump hasn’t done in his brief political career. Kelly talked to John Burnett, who knew Kelly as a press briefer when he was embedded with the troops in southern Iraq. […]
By Brent Bozell and Tim Graham ~ The Hollywood Left flew to Utah for the Sundance Film Festival (and its homegrown Women’s March) with a small item of regret on its agenda. Just last year, they had put on their pink knit hats and marched for women’s rights with one of the most visible figures […]
By Tim Graham ~ Taxpayer-supported radio and TV showed the same pattern of liberal favoritism as the commercial TV newscasts, devoting more attention to the feminist Left over the weekend than to the pro-life conservatives. From Friday through Sunday, NPR’s newscasts devoted 10 minutes and five seconds to the annual March for Life. But the […]
By Tim Graham ~ On National Public Radio on Saturday morning, Weekend Edition anchor Scott Simon interviewed Ed Martin, a pro-Trump author and Republican Party man, reveling in the Donald Trump-Steve Bannon feud. Martin said “I’m trying not to be on a side – it’s like Mom and Dad had a little bit of a […]
By Brent Bozell and Tim Graham ~ The swift revolution against sexual harassment is ending the careers of a series of media “icons,” left and right, but perhaps nowhere is this hypocrisy more notable (and deeper) than at PBS and NPR. These were the entities that made sexual harassment the boiling feminist issue during the […]
By Brent Bozell and Tim Graham ~ The Hollywood Reporter unveils that PBS and its public-broadcasting brethren have written the Federal Communications Commission with a list of complaints. The headline: “PBS Wants the Government to Reexamine Hard Stance on Indecency.” That’s a funny headline, since we haven’t seen a “hard stance on indecency” since the […]
By Tim Graham ~ The Washington Post published an op-ed on Sunday headlined “NPR and PBS don’t need tax money anymore.” Manhattan Institute vice president Howard Husock is uniquely qualified on the topic: he’s a former producer for Boston PBS superstation WGBH and now serves on the board of directors of the Corporation for Public […]
By Tim Graham ~ National Public Radio likes to think it’s about civility (not rudeness) and real news (not fake news). But when it comes to Donald Trump, on Friday night NPR became the promoter of a rude and disparaging joke on All Things Considered. Washington Post columnist and NPR contributor E. J. Dionne passed […]
By Tim Graham ~ NPR comes to the news of police shootings ready and willing to feel the pain of “black and brown” people, including the children. On Weekend Edition Saturday, anchor Scott Simon launched into a commentary with the online title “For Students In Tulsa, Pain Frames Conversation About Crutcher.” Simon shared a viral […]
By Matthew Balan ~ Friday’s Morning Edition on NPR spotlighted Hillary Clinton’s “very few and far between” press conferences during her presidential campaign so far. David Folkenflik pointed out how it’s been “more than two months” since Mrs. Clinton was confronted about her lack of pressers, and how she “suggested there are other, better ways […]
By Tim Graham ~ Following the lead of The New York Times, NPR on Saturday touted a new American trend – “climate change refugees,” people being subsidized by the federal government to move away from their lives on the coast. NPR Weekend Edition anchor Scott Simon announced: “Members of a small Native American community in […]
By Randy Hall ~ There’s no doubt that the current presidential campaign has been more antagonistic than previous contests for the White House, and as a result, one national news organization is taking action to train its correspondents in “hostile environment awareness.” According to an article by Washington Post media reporter Paul Farhi, the National […]
By Brent Bozell and Tim Graham ~ As night fell on Christmas Eve, National Public Radio was in its usual holy-day mode, using your tax dollars to mock the traditional Christian creed. This time they promoted an activist movie called The Danish Girl, yet another alleged “true story” about artist Einar Wegener, a married man […]
