Trump and Biden drew very different spins on NPR's Weekend Edition Saturday. In their "Week In Politics segment," Trump was in grave peril from indictments, while Biden was the second coming of Jimmy Carter at Camp David. Having Asian leaders in "elevates Joe Biden's presidency."

Republicans were angry that the Biden Justice Department "promoted" David Weiss to Special Counsel in the Hunter Biden probe. But PBS (and NPR's legal reporter) didn't think House Republicans were worth quoting or mentioning.

On Saturday night's horribly named show All Things Considered, Boston-based NPR reporter Tovia Smith filed a 12-and-a-half minute story warning "The battle over books comes at a cost." Librarians have been smeared as evil people and their lives have been put in danger by nasty right-wingers. In this whole story, NPR successfully avoided mentioning the content of any sexually explicit…

National Public Radio’s pop-culture show “It’s Been a Minute” bravely tackled the made-up problem of racist country music, in the wake of the failed censorship of singer Jason Aldrean’s hit “Try That in a Small Town.” Tax-funded NPR blurbed the August 1 radio segment under this heading: “How racism became a marketing tool for country music.”

CNN's John King talked to Republicans in Iowa and lamented they would break CNN's "fact check machine." Dana Bash added they held crazy conspiracy theories from conservative media.

NPR media reporter David Folkenflik filed yet another of his anti-Fox News Channel pieces for Wednesday's Morning Edition. The headline? "A former Fox executive now argues Murdoch is unfit to own TV stations.": This means Folkfenlik has filed 44 anti-Fox News stories so far in 2023.

Terry Gross, host of the National Public Radio talk show Fresh Air, conducted two separate interviews on succeeding days with Annie Karni, a former White House correspondent for the New York Times who is now congressional correspondent for the paper, a discussion dominated by fears of the “far-right” Congress. The loaded ideological labeling that emanated from both…

Two publicly funded media outlets, National Public Radio and the PBS NewsHour, sponsored a Marist poll to find out how Republicans feel about an issue the press has decided is urgent -- “climate change.” To their horror, it found Republicans would rather preserve living standards for humans rather than throw their money at somehow stopping the temperature from rising. NPR’s…

Amanda Marie Martinez, a country-music focused contributor to National Public Radio issued a print piece in response to a media-manufactured controversy Saturday, “Jason Aldean's 'Small Town' is part of a long legacy with a very dark side.” Martinez’s ideological alarmism about Aldean’s song, which survived industry cancellation and debuted at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100, an amazing…

Underlining the notion that's there is not much difference between MSNBC and NPR, leftist Rep. Joaquin Castro (D-Texas) appeared on The Reidout and on NPR's Morning Edition on Monday. Co-host A Martinez (not the actor) set up Castro to denounce Gov. Greg Abbott's actions as "barbaric and inhumane."

In reaction to Governor Glenn Youngkin’s (R-VA) new policy unveiled last week for schools regarding transgenderism, local media in the D.C. market (including an NPR affiliate) and across the Potomac in Virginia again twisted themselves into nervous knots over how on Earth voters in the Commonwealth could have elected someone in a platform of parental involvement in education.

The New York Times’ initial review of Sound of Freedom, a thriller based on child-trafficking-buster Tim Ballard, was negative but nonpolitical. But now that Trump has spoken up, the Times has jumped back into the media-manufactured controversy, as did taxpayer-supported National Public Radio. The Times and NPR unearthed “experts” to offer petulant…

Scandal coverage is the most obvious subject to demonstrate a pro-Democrat bias, and live coverage of scandal hearings is even more obvious. When the Pelosi-Picked Panel on January 6 held hearings, they were broadcast live on ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS, NPR, CNN, MSNBC, and Fox. Nobody is airing House Republican hearings live for hours. Some can't even notice a hearing happened.

The PBS NewsHour offered five minutes of coverage on Wednesday of the House Oversight Committee hearings on slow-walking the Hunter Biden investigation, but National Public Radio could not find one second to cover the hearing on Wednesday night or Thursday morning. Even the top-of-hour newscasts had nothing, even as they promoted how Trump was facing prison time in the wave of…
