NPR Hails Documentary on Radical Public Radio Journalist Amy Goodman
National Public Radio celebrated radical left-wing journalist Amy Goodman, host of the Pacifica Radio show Democracy Now! on Saturday’s Weekend Edition. The doc’s title, Steal This Story, Please! is based on what Arts Desk correspondent Mandalit del Barco calls 60's radical Abbie Hoffman’s “revolutionary handguide,” Steal This Book.
Capehart Insists His Conspiracy Theories Are 'A Healthy Imagination'
MS NOW host Jonathan Capehart joined PBS News Hour on Friday for his weekly participation in recapping the week’s news, which focused heavily on President Trump’s Thursday speech about election integrity. As Capehart spread wild conspiracy theories about Trump seizing ballot boxes, Capehart insisted that such conspiracy theorizing is really just proof that he has “a healthy imagination.”
NPR or (D)PR? Democrat Cued Up to Spin WILDLY About Trump Speech
Sometimes, you can read a transcript of National “Public” Radio with a Democrat, and just laugh at how much it sounds like questions a press aide would toss to make their boss tap on all his talking points. On Friday’s Morning Edition, the supine PR helper was NPR anchor A Martinez. Get a load of these questions.
NewsBusters Podcast: Has PBS Lurched Further Left After Defunding?
The latest NewsBusters study of the guests interviewed on the “PBS News Hour” now shows the liberal-conservative disparity to be 5.2 to 1. Removing their government funding might have encouraged a deeper leftist tilt. But at least conservatives aren’t forced to support it.
NPR Suggests Banning Trans Surgery for Minors a 'Dangerous Precedent'
Touted as an exclusive story on National Public Radio from health reporter Selena Simmons-Duffin, “Trump's HHS abandons threat to withhold Medicare and Medicaid funding over trans care," dutifully repeated the “gender-affirming care for youth” misnomer in the lead while providing only trans-supportive sources.
NPR's Inskeep Tries Spinning Maher's 'Far Extreme of The Left' Charge
NPR Newsmakers podcast host Steve Inskeep welcomed HBO’s Bill Maher to Thursday show his Mark Twain Prize and the wider world of politics. At one point in the interview, Maher confessed that he was surprised Inskeep invited him on because NPR is now “on the far extreme of the left.” Inskeep tried to defend NPR by saying reality is different than what its critics allege, but the numbers don’t…
Trans Actor Elliot Page: This Two-Genders Thing's 'Completely False'
Pacifica Radio is a small network of radical-left “public” radio stations that were annually funded in part by taxpayers of all ideologies. This week, a clip from their signature daily talk show Democracy Now featured trans actor Elliot Page (former name: Ellen Page) gushing over a documentary on the gender “diversity” of the animal kingdom.
PBS Boards Trans Train, Hosts ACLU on 'Gender-Affirming Care' for Kids
PBS News Hour White House reporter Liz Landers took up the transgender cause on Friday, hosting Chase Strangio, transgender activist, ACLU lawyer, and biological female. Landers used the same misleading euphemism of “gender-affirming care” to describe irreversible surgical procedures on minors.
Democrat Attorneys Sue to Keep CNN As Partisan As Possible
Now, as the Paramount merger with Warner Brothers-Discovery approaches its end, 12 attorneys general filed a last-minute lawsuit to block it – but they won’t say it’s about keeping Bari Weiss & Co. out of the CNN news business. It’s led by California A.G. Rob Bonta and supported by 11 other Democrats. It’s comical to see news reports from NPR and CNBC pretending this is a nonpartisan…
STUDY: Be My (Lefty) Guest: PBS's Liberal-Conservative Disparity 5-1
The PBS News Hour marked its 50th anniversary last year (and the show’s first year deprived of taxpayer funding) with a clip package of its coverage of various historical events, while declaring the program had traditionally strove to be “even-handed to a fault.” If that was ever true, the current version of the show, co-anchored by Geoff Bennett and Amna Nawaz, certainly can’t make that claim…
Washington Week Shucks ‘Oysterman’ Platner, Still Touts Hopes for Dems
The latest Washington Week with The Atlantic roundtable on PBS featured not only criticism but cynicism regarding the Democratic Party’s slimy embrace of Graham Platner, the disgraced former U.S. Senate candidate for Maine, credibly accused of sexual assault. Yet the journalist panel remained high on Democratic prospects for the Senate, even in Maine.
Capehart Does 180 On Platner After Scandals Become Electoral Liability
MS NOW host Jonathan Capehart joined PBS News Hour on Friday to recap the week’s news, which naturally highlighted Graham Platner’s decision to exit the Maine Senate race after being accused of rape amid a long list of other scandals. In contrast to what he said a month ago after the first accusations of violence towards women came out, Capehart declared he was happy to see Platner go because…
Oh No! NPR Upset at Trump's NEA Funding Patriotic, Pro-Reagan Material
When conservatives think of the National Endowment for the Arts, they think about government-funded outrages like Andres Serrano’s “Piss Christ,” featuring a crucifix pictured in a glass of the artist’s urine. On Friday's All Things Considered, NPR found a new subsidy scandal, that Trump’s NEA is funding patriotic art, including pro-Ronald Reagan material.
PBS Soft-Pedals Radical Dem Abdul El-Sayed, Waterskiing 'Normal Guy'
On Monday’s PBS News Hour, political analyst Carrie Dann, who previously reported from D.C. for NBC News, filled in for her Cook Political Report colleague Amy Walter, but proved more partisan than Walter. She was chirpily optimistic on the prospects of radical Abdul el-Sayed, who’s running for the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate in Michigan.
