All Things Considered

Wednesday night sounded like "Protect My Public Media" night on NPR and PBS. NPR's All Things Considered put on their CEO Katherine Maher for what was basically seven-minute pledge drive for federal funding. She unveiled another unintentional laugh line. Asked about Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene saying they'd have to "hate us on your own dime," Maher claimed "We don't hate anyone in…

NPR is not an oasis of civility. On Friday's All Things Considered, they aired a positive story on black artist Amy Sherald, best known for painting a portrait of Michelle Obama for the National Portrait Gallery. In response to Trump's executive order cracking down on Smithsonian wokeness, Sherald said "I feel like every portrait that I make is a counterterrorist attack to counter…

Trans woman activist Dylan Mulvaney did a happy-go-lucky softball interview tour to promote the book Paper Doll: Notes from a Late Bloomer. The “mainstream” media are out of the mainstream on trans issues, and their extreme fawning and flattery only underlines it.

In her debut appearance on CNN This Morning, hosted by Audie Cornish, former George W. Bush official Ashley Davis says the stock market's recent dive is "around [Trump's] neck." An unfortunate metaphor in regard to someone who has suffered two recent assassination attempts.

PBS and NPR know that Trump, Musk, and the Republicans are looking at defunding them, but they inevitably covered Trump’s speech to Congress with their usual anti-Trump tilt.

The pundits may say Democrats are still "licking their wounds" from their 2024 defeats, but the recent Democrat meeting on February 1 focusing on how they must have a "non-binary" representative was underplayed by the media. Joe Klein used to be a prominent TV pundit and Newsweek columnist who loved Bill Clinton's more moderate style. On his Substack, he lamented the party now…

The average American awards some amount of undeserved prestige to "public" TV and radio merely by the branding of "public," like it's for all the people. But PBS and NPR are not acting for the entire "public." They are taxpayer-subsidized propaganda, and they often ignore or downplay news events that they do not support. Exhibit A for Abortion: the annual March for Life, which draws…

Taxpayer-funded National Public Radio relished describing Donald Trump with words "criminal" and "convicted" and especially a “convicted felon.” Friday’s sentencing in New York offered a golden opportunity. On Friday’s All Things Considered, anchor Juana Summers and reporter Andrea Bernstein used “convicted” five times to thrill their leftist audience. On Friday morning? Six times.…

Some media outlets aren’t interesting in wishing you a Merry Christmas. They use the occasion to suggest the Christmas story is bunk. But taxpayer-funded NPR will eagerly promote a pagan "High Priestex" at the Winter Solstice.

Everyone knows National “Public” Radio hates half the public, the half that voted for Donald Trump. On Wednesday’s terribly named All Things Considered, NPR promoted “Sequeerity,” an LGBT security force in Minneapolis protecting their own from the allegedly violent hatred of the Trump-loving right-wing extremists.

Hunter Biden’s shocking guilty plea in a California courtroom on Thursday led to a more shocking network-news result. ABC, CBS, and NBC all led their evening newscasts with Hunter’s plea. Between them, the Big Three aired more than eight minutes of coverage. PBS only gave it 54 seconds in a segment mostly about Trump's legal problems.

Just weeks after headlining a lucrative Hollywood fundraiser for Joe Biden, movie star George Clooney wrote in The New York Times that Biden has got to go and let someone else "save democracy" from Donald Trump.

NPR media reporter David Folkenflik came on Monday night's All Things Considered to talk about cable news, and it wasn't about Fox News, at least not directly. After Biden called in to Morning Joe, NPR had to contemplate that Scarborough is so deep into the Biden camp that it evokes parallels to -- oh, God forbid! -- Fox News. 

On taxpayer-funded National Public Radio, All Things Considered has an online listing of story order. Hunter Biden's verdict was #9! Guess what was #1: Sam Alito. “Secret audio raises new questions about Supreme Court Justice's impartiality.”
