In the lead-up to the White House Correspondents Dinner, National "Public" Radio's evening newscast All Things Considered spent 6.5 minutes on Thursday warning "Trump has destroyed the norms of White House reporting." Translation: The "norm" is liberal tilt, and allowing more balance in the press corps is horrible. "Partisan" outlets have been let in! And what the hell is NPR? 

NPR has received two of the largest gifts in their decades of existence, totaling $113 million. It's a natural response to President Trump and Republicans ending federal dollars to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting last year. Well, well. It turns out they didn't actually need government money to survive.

The concept of freedom of the press isn’t ruined by criticism of the press. But when liberal TV hosts roll out their lectures, they sound a little like the president they routinely attack. Any criticism of their work must be Fake News.

On The NPR Politics Podcast, their media reporter David Folkenflik attacked Trump FCC Chairman Brendan Carr for talking like a "mafioso" against Jimmy Kimmel, who he said "made some remarks that offended the president's supporters." NPR whined about "self-censorship" by anti-Trump media outlets and claimed conservative talk radio is terrible about "equal time." Look in the mirror, NPR…

The Washington Post announced its long-rumored mass layoffs Wednesday morning tallying more than 300 journalists — and the official killing of the books, daily podcast, and sports sections and grinding down of local and international sections to almost nothing. Post executive editor Matt Murray told employees on a Zoom that the dramatic altering of the newspaper is “…

On Tuesday, NPR media reporter David Folkenflik was back on his “keeping liberal media outlets liberal” beat with a preview of Tuesday’s Bari Weiss meeting with CBS staff. First, let’s express amusement at how liberal journalists grant other liberal journalists anonymity so they can avoid “professional repercussions.”

When reporters want to uncork righteous editorializing, they label it a "news analysis." That's what happened when NPR media reporter David Folkenflik unleashed his outrage on Thursday morning at Trump demeaning several members of the elitist liberal media. He never fussed when Biden called Peter Doocy a "stupid son of a bitch." That was comedy to NPR. 

Maryland’s largest newspaper is turning on lefty lawmakers at the state capital for being largely responsible for creating the economic crisis the Old Line State faces today. 

National Public Radio’s media reporter David Folkenflik reported from Harrisburg, South Dakota on Friday from a football tailgate, where he uncovered Trump voters who supported taxpayer funded public broadcasting of NPR and PBS. South Dakota is a telling choice, one of those sparsely populated red states where the people supposedly rely on NPR for the farm report or emergency weather…

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.

On Friday's episode of In The Arena with Kasie Hunt, they were discussing Trump's executive order to defund NPR and PBS alongside his questioning of federal funding for Harvard with its serious antisemitism problem. New York Times podcaster Lulu Garcia-Navarro, who spent 17 years at NPR, had a theory about Trump -- he just hates "independence," anything that threatens his…

Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin and the left-wing New York Times were back in a New York courtroom on Monday for jury selection in the retrial of the former’s defamation suit against the latter. Palin scored a retrial after a biased judge inappropriately announced that he was going to rule against her no matter what the first jury found, with jurors subsequently finding out. The…

PBS and NPR each faced the difficulty on Wednesday night of covering their own bosses taking tough questions from Republicans at the Capitol in a hearing on Wednesday. PBS actually aired a Republican citing us -- just as a "conservative media watchdog group."

After CNN was found liable for defamation, NBC host Tom Llamas brought on NPR media reporter David Folkenflik to survey the damages on Tom Llamas Now on the NBC News Now streaming channel. Llamas lamented “a jury that does not work in a newsroom, right? That does not understand how people may talk about people.” Folkenflik agreed that “you have to unpack journalism, the way it works,…
