NP-Arf! Mike Pompeo-Pounding NPR Becomes a Lapdog for Tony Blinken

For all the wisecracks about "state-run TV" under Trump, the shoe is now on the other foot, and NPR sounds like "state-run radio," or in one case, "Department of State-run radio."

New York Times’ London bureau chief Mark Landler’s obsessive hostility toward mogul Rupert Murdoch’s right-leaning media empire was on display Wednesday.

Adding another bullet point to her resume of being a horrible person, MSNBC’s ReidOut host Joy Reid was in an unsympathetic mood Tuesday night over the suffering for millions of Texans without heat, power, and running water amidst a historic combination of ice, single-digit temperatures, and snow. Instead, she boasted how it was almost ironic given the Republican-led state’s refusal to accept…
