NB Podcast: Michelle Obama's Favorite Artist Drops Hate Bomb on NPR
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…

NPR Aches for Hamas Left on Campus: 'Fear Is a New Campus Reality'
In Saturday’s All Things Considered story by reporter Elena Moore from the frontlines of the Israel-Hamas campus wars, she lamented how students are afraid of expressing pro-Hamas sympathies on progressive college campuses: “For some students who protested war in Gaza, fear and silence is a new campus reality.” This, after a year and a half of NPR either ignoring or “both-siding”…

Wednesday’s edition of the PBS News Hour took on yet another unlabeled liberal or Democrat-linked critic of Trump as its guest expert on an issue, this time defending the dubious idea of tax-related privacy rights for illegal immigrants against DOGE’s budget cuts to the IRS and warning the agency could well implode during tax season as a result: "For decades, the IRS encouraged…

Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart and New York Times columnist David Brooks assembled for their weekly airing of grievances on Friday night’s PBS News Hour as they discussed the news that the Trump Administration has reached deals with five top law firms to provide $600 million in pro bono work.

'PUBLIC' Broadcasting Watch: PBS and NPR Delight LGBTQ Propagandists
As much as the CEOs of PBS and NPR claim to Congress they are nonpartisan and unbiased, there are many ways to demonstrate they careen to the Left. Shortly after their House hearing, the leftist Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation issued their "GLAAD Media Awards" and honored PBS and NPR for completely one-sided promotion of the LGBTQ agenda.

NPR Hosts Biden Book Author: 'Biden Was Capable.' Was NPR Culpable?
National Public Radio’s Fresh Air interview program, hosted by Terry Gross, brought on journalist Chris Whipple Tuesday to talk about his new book on former President Biden and how Biden’s handlers concealed his mental decline from the public -- and themselves?

PBS: Anti-Trump Protests Pushed Back 'Against The Rise Of Fascism'
A Monday night interview between PBS’s Amanpour and Company guest host Bianna Golodryga and Turkish journalist Ece Temelkuran about the protests going on in her native country surrounding the arrest of the leader of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s main opposition took a sharp detour as Temelkuran compared Erdogan to President Donald Trump.

NPR Babies Lefty Listeners: 'What You're About to Hear Is Hate Speech'
National Public Radio launched a “special” series on its news program Morning Edition, “The State of the First Amendment: The Right from Which All Other Rights Flow” on Monday, with an 11-minute story in which anchor Leila Fadel cast nasty aspersions against conservative free speech advocates.

NPR's 'Kit' for Teen Online Extremism: Don't Tell Jokes, Read Kendi
National Public Radio took a second bite out of a rancid liberal apple of a story from June 2022, part of its homegrown series “Life Kit -- Tools To Help You Get It Together," with an update spurred by a new TV series: “'Adolescence' is a parental nightmare. Here's what to tell kids about online extremism.” What did NPR tell the kids? Don’t make jokes, and heed the advice of discredited race-…

PolitiFact Pads Its PBS Pals By Flagging MTG as 'FALSE' on Drag Queens
PolitiFact -- which has a partnership with PBS -- avoided "fact checking" the PBS and NPR CEOs claiming to Congress they were nonpartisan. Instead of choosing the most obvious lie, PolitiFact threw a “False” rating at Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene for a statement that was more of an opinion than a factual statement. She said "they now have drag queen story time instead of good old ‘Sesame…

PBS Gushes Over Booker's 'Inspiring' and 'Upbeat' Speech
The cast of Friday’s PBS News Hour could hardly contain their excitement over Sen. Cory Booker’s 25-hour Senate speech denouncing all things Donald Trump.
