NPR's 'Extremism' Reporter: Trump Could Cause Violence Against Jurors
One way the leftist media want to add juice to the Trump trial is to suggest the jurors will be threatened by Trump outbursts in court or on social media. On Friday’s All Things Considered, they brought in “NPR domestic extremism correspondent Odette Yousef” to spread the conspiracy theory that Trump messages will lead to violence.
PBS Pundit Pals Hail Speaker Johnson Finding 'Inner Reagan' on Ukraine
The latest, foreign-policy-facing episode of Washington Week with The Atlantic found the weekly journalistic roundtable quite comfortable with both American hard and soft power -- as long as President Biden and the Democrats hold the reins. There was a scattering of hostile labeling, with three “far right” labels foisted on Republicans, but what was most striking was the panel’s…
Thanks To One Dissenter, The Mask Drops At NPR
Without a doubt, many readers here at NewsBusters were mega-dittos fans of the late, great Rush Limbaugh. In today’s media world perhaps you listen to conservative talk radio hosts Sean Hannity or Rush’s successors Clay Travis and Buck Sexton, or Glenn Beck or Jesse Kelly. Or, indeed someone else, perhaps a local conservative host in your area.
Utterly Woke NPR Puts Trigger Warning on Declaration of Independence
The hopeless wokeness of tax-funded National Public Radio has been confirmed by NPR senior business editor Uri Berliner, who started shockwaves with his Free Press essay “I’ve Been at NPR for 25 Years. Here’s How We Lost America’s Trust” providing chapter and verse of how NPR had become fully in the hands of the left. One example of anti-American wokeness is the “editor’s note” NPR staff felt…
PBS Mourns 'Far-Right' Influence on GOP While Encouraging Far-Left
It was a foreign policy-heavy edition of PBS NewsHour’s weekly Friday news recap segment with New York Times columnist David Brooks and Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart. Together with host William Brangham, the duo would claim that the “far-right” threatens to throw the GOP into chaos for its opposition to Ukraine aid, but not only did the far-left…
PBS’s Pathetic O.J. Take: Outrage Over Racism, Not Denial of Justice
PBS NewsHour had an odd take on the death of O.J. Simpson, whose televised trial captivated America 30 years ago, bringing in Dave Zirin, sports editor for the aging hard-left magazine The Nation. Together, he and NewsHour reporter William Brangham used the famous trial not as an example of justice denied, but to portray America as a historic haven of anti-black…
Editor’s Pick: National Review’s Geraghty SLAMS NPR on Berliner Hubbub
Writing Thursday morning over at National Review in the Morning Jolt newsletter, senior writer Jim Geraghty went postal on taxpayer-funded National Public Radio (NPR) over its handling of now-former senior business editor Uri Berliner’s bombshell essay for The Free Press meticulously dismantling NPR for its decades of liberal media bias.
PBS: AZ Abortion Ban Dates to Legalized Slavery, White-Men Only Voting
PBS took another bite out of the surprise decision that recently emerged out of Arizona’s Supreme Court, on the Saturday edition of PBS News Weekend, anchor John Yang really loaded the ideological dice in his introduction: “The near-total abortion ban that the Arizona Supreme Court revived this week dates back to when Arizona wasn’t a state yet, when slavery was legal, and…
NewsBusters Podcast: NPR Says Bye-Bye Berliner, Hello to Censoring CEO
After stirring up a hornet's nest at NPR about a leftist tilt, senior editor Uri Berliner resigned Wednesday, but that doesn't mean NPR types can refute his argument on their insularity and intolerance. New CEO Katherine Maher insulted Berliner as attacking staffers for "who they are," and as it turns out, at Wikipedia she refused to tolerate "misinformation" on COVID before they knew much…
Column: NPR Morning Star Lamely Swats at Their Suspended Dissident
National Public Radio senior editor Uri Berliner has been suspended for his unauthorized critique of the insular liberal bias of his network. NPR star and Morning Edition host Steve Inskeep took to his Substack blog to slam Berliner’s article as “filled with errors and omissions.” Inskeep did a lot of omitting himself.
NPR Internal Critic SUSPENDED Without Pay for Going Public on Bias
In his latest company-man report, NPR media reporter David Folkenflik revealed that NPR senior editor Uri Berliner was suspended without pay for five days (beginning Friday) for deciding his years of internal advocacy for more fairness and balance in NPR's coverage had been fruitless, so he went public.
PBS Copies Kamala: 2nd Trump Term Means 'More Bans, More Suffering'
After the surprise ruling by the Arizona Supreme Court to approve a Civil War-era law banning abortions except to save the life of the mother, the Friday edition of Amanpour & Co. (airing on PBS after first running on CNN International) hosted a predictably pro-choice liberal law professor as a guest. But the real liberal outrage spewed from guest host Bianna Golodryga,…
The NPR-Listening ‘Elite 1%’
Consider this proposition: “Suppose that your favorite candidate loses a close election. However, people on the campaign know that they can win by cheating without being caught. Would you rather have your candidate win by cheating or lose by playing fair?” Just 7% of Americans said, “Win by cheating.” This is from a startling new Scott Rasmussen poll.
PBS:AZ Abortion Ban Cuts off ‘Critical Release Valve,’ No More Fleeing
The PBS NewsHour led its Tuesday evening newscast with the week’s big issue: abortion, an issue of such apparent import (and perceived advantage to the Democratic Party in November) that both anchors took a crack at it. After a soundbite from Arizona’s Democratic Governor Katie Hobbs saying the “abortion ban is extreme and hurts women,” Bennett introduced journalist Carter Sherman, a…
