Media Bias: Subtle (and Not So Subtle) Ways Journalists Slant the News

February 19th, 2024 9:43 AM

On CNN, a “reporter” interviewing Vice President Kamala Harris gushes, “I’m struck, just in your presence! Looking you in the eye, with your passion ... ” Really? Even Harris looked embarrassed. My new video shows how the mainstream media treat conservatives and libertarians differently. We shouldn’t be surprised. Reporters overwhelmingly lean Democrat. A survey by The American Journalist…

NPR's Asma Khalid Touts Kamala's Trip to Germany, No GOP Rebuttals

February 15th, 2024 8:50 AM

National Public Radio sounded like State-Run Radio on the Valentine’s Day Morning Edition. Reporter Asma Khalid touted that Vice President Kamala Harris was headed to Germany to reassure European allies after Donald Trump said he’d encourage Russia to “do whatever the hell they want” to allies who won’t spend enough on defense to be a NATO member in good standing.

February 9th, 2024 8:49 PM

Friday saw the first White House press briefing after President Biden’s embarrassing and disastrous press conference to address his mental acuity following a special counsel report that questioned it.

NPR Anchor Finds GOP Veteran to Trash Conservatives as 'Post-Policy'

February 8th, 2024 3:19 PM

 We know about CNN Republicans and MSNBC Republicans, but there are also NPR Republicans. Brendan Buck, a former aide to Speakers John Boehner and Paul Ryan, is a semi-regular pundit on Meet the Press. On Thursday, Morning Edition anchor Steve Inskeep kept asking Buck to describe Republicans as insincere extremists who don't want to govern. Buck played right along, calling…

February 4th, 2024 8:29 AM

On Friday night, both NPR and PBS rolled out their red carpets for South Carolina Congressman Jim Clyburn to talk about the Democrat presidential primary season officially beginning in his state -- NPR offered eight minutes, PBS seven.

Tax-Funded PBS, NPR Eagerly Push Planned Parenthood 'Study' of Rapes

January 29th, 2024 6:43 AM

PBS and NPR are funded by taxpayers – federal, state, and local. But they’re “owned” by the Left. Look no further than a very biased Planned Parenthood study fishing numbers out of the air to assert that there were more than 64,000 “people” who became pregnant from rapes in red states with abortion bans. No one who would criticize or even question this effort was allowed on air. 

NPR Skips Fani Willis for Four-Minute Press Release for Kamala Harris

January 20th, 2024 2:47 PM

NPR hasn't reported on the scandal of Fulton County, Georgia DA Fani Willis potentially ruining her election-interference case against Donald Trump by having an affair with her married special prosecutor, who took her on vacations with the money she was paying him. No, they were too busy sounding like State-Run Radio on Thursday night by offering a four-minute press release for Kamala Harris,…

HA HA: Lefty Media Freak Over Conservative Baltimore Exec Saving Paper

January 17th, 2024 2:26 PM

In February 2021, liberal journalists (correctly) were crestfallen that Tribune, The Baltimore Sun’s parent company, would merge with Alden Global Capital, an infamous newspaper conglomerate known for stripping down newspapers to ghost status. After it was announced Monday that local businessman and Sinclair Broadcasting Group executive Chairman David Smith had rescued The Sun…

Column: Internal Democrat Worries Aired on NPR

January 12th, 2024 6:20 AM

National Public Radio is a sandbox for the Left. The “news” there is manufactured by leftists, for leftists. You can find it easily in the latest interviews about the Biden re-election campaign. The interviewers are clearly nervous that Biden’s messaging isn’t working. It’s not that Biden’s incompetent, it’s that voters are ignorant.

NPR Reporters Worry Biden's Losing to Republican 'Disinformation'

January 8th, 2024 6:43 AM

On The NPR Politics Podcast on Friday, a trio of NPR reporters expressed alarm that Joe Biden’s “better angel speech” at Valley Forge wasn’t winning the day, that opinion polls show backsliding on January 6 and Republican “disinformation” is taking over. Congressional correspondent Claudia Grisales brought up a Washington Post poll that found the percentage of Americans who say Trump…

PBS Anchor Reluctantly Asks Mayorkas About House GOP Impeachment Drive

January 5th, 2024 5:04 PM

On January 4, PBS NewsHour anchor Amna Nawaz interviewed Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas for nine minutes, but didn't get to the House Republican impeachment drive until the last question. Shouldn't that be the first question? Not when it's Republicans doing the impeaching.

Column: The Arrogance of the Media Creates an Illiberal Bias

January 3rd, 2024 5:49 AM

An essential ingredient in the stew of hysteria over a second Trump term is heavy-breathing concern for “vital institutions” like the press.
