NPR's Monday Reports on Tiller Murder Shut Out Pro-Lifers
June 2nd, 2009 2:15 PM
National Public Radio’s reporting on the George Tiller murder was perfect on Monday – in shutting out pro-life voices wanting to express regret. Reports on Morning Edition and on All Things Considered from Kansas City-based reporter Frank Morris lined up Tiller’s friends, lawyers, and customers to praise him.

October 31st, 2008 1:26 PM
Newsweek editor Jon Meacham brought his professorial tones to National Public Radio on Wednesday and Thursday’s Morning Edition, discussing the Obama and McCain memoirs and what they say about the candidates.

NPR Thrice Promoted Salon.com’s Rehash of Abu Ghraib
February 18th, 2006 12:46 PM
National Public Radio provided publicity to the leftist website Salon.com on three shows Thursday for their release of previously unseen (if not notably different) pictures of American abuses at Abu Ghraib.
