Democrats and Journalists Still Avoid Biden’s Decline

Written by Tim Graham

The first excerpts of the Jake Tapper-Alex Thompson book on denying former President Joe Biden’s obvious mental decline have been posted, and you can already sense Democrats don’t want to deal with what they have done.

The book’s title is “Original Sin.” Why the biblical title? The authors write:

“The original sin of Election 2024 was Biden’s decision to run for re-election — followed by aggressive efforts to hide his cognitive diminishment.”

Will The GOP Finally End PBS and NPR Subsidies?

Written by Robert Knight

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting is in the news again.

Kermit the Frog, the iconic “Sesame Street” Muppet, will give the 2025 commencement address at the University of Maryland.

Kermit’s appearance will coincide with the 65th anniversary of the graduation of UM’s Jim Henson, who was awarded a degree in home economics in 1960. In a press release, “Kermit” said he would keep the address upbeat, even though, as he put it, “It’s hard to be green.”… Continue Reading

NPR Is National Public Relations for the War on Trump

Written by Tim Graham

At the top of every hour, hundreds of taxpayer-subsidized National Public Radio stations in 50 states transmit leftist public relations badly disguised as news. You can get talking points jammed in your ear on your rush-hour commute.

On the morning of Feb. 20, NPR anchor Korva Coleman promoted an anti-Trump lawsuit, and notice there are no labels for the activists. They’re just for “civil rights.” Coleman began:

“Civil rights groups are suing the Trump administration over executive orders they call illegal.

NPR Slaps Black Republican With Lame ‘No Evidence’ Card

Written by Tim Graham

Even on Inauguration Day, you can count on taxpayer-funded National Public Radio to act like a hive of Democrats. It’s not surprising. As longtime NPR editor Uri Berliner reported last year, he investigated D.C. voting records and found “87 registered Democrats working in editorial positions and zero Republicans.”

On “Morning Edition” before Donald Trump was sworn in, co-host Leila Fadel interviewed U.S. Representative Byron Donalds (R-FL). After some milder opening questions, Fadel turned to revenge:

“President-elect Trump did promise dozens of times on the campaign trail that his rivals, critics, even some private citizens should be investigated, prosecuted, put in jail or otherwise punished.

The Invisible President Lies Without Consequence

Written by Tim Graham

Joe Biden may still hold the office of President of the United States, but the media are treating him like he’s anything but a newsmaker. For much of Biden’s presidency, reporters were much more energized to cover the apparent menace of Donald Trump than agitate the officials that were always hiding Biden. Now he seems invisible.

On Dec. 15, the president spoke to a Democratic National Committee holiday party. Any reporter would expect a pep talk, with all the echoes of “we’ll get them next time.”… Continue Reading

The Dirty Little Secret the Left Won’t Admit About Trump

Written by Peter Heck

No one familiar with the world of politics would mistake Vox co-founder Matthew Yglesias as anything but a long-time, card-carrying leftist. As pointed out by the Washington Free Beacon,

He advocated for lying about the benefits of Republicans’ tax cuts. He dismissed Joe Biden’s plagiarism habit. He tacitly endorsed terrorizing Tucker Carlson’s family.

No longer with Vox, Yglesias runs his own podcast and Substack newsletter, farming for attention with provocative posts on his X account.… Continue Reading

Making It Too Big To Rig

Written by Don Surber

On Labor Day, the traditional start of fall election campaigns, Real Clear Politics gave Kamala Harris a lead of 1.8 points in the national polls. On the same date in 2020, Joe Biden had a 7.2 point lead. On the same date in 2016, Hillary Clinton had a 4.1 point lead.

While this appears to be comforting news, the three races were different because the first two races had October Surprises that favored Donald J.… Continue Reading

Sanitizing Violent, Flag-Burning Pro-Hamas Protesters

Written by Tim Graham

On the same day that President Joe Biden implied Jan. 6 was a darker day than 9/11 and Pearl Harbor, leftist protesters fought and shoved police and burned the American flag near the Capitol. They pulled down the American flag and replaced it with the Palestinian flag. Some flew the Hamas flag and vandalized monuments with spray-painted slogans like “Hamas is comin'” and “I commend Hamas.”

The occasion was Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu speaking to a joint session of Congress.… Continue Reading

Little Trust for the ‘Democracy-Saving’ Media

Written by Tim Graham

The national media consider themselves essential in educating the electorate, so what happens when the electorate does not consider them a trustworthy guardian of democracy?

The Associated Press and the American Press Institute just released a poll on the 2024 election and found only 14% of their sample expressed “a great deal of confidence in election-related information they receive from national sources.” By contrast, 46% have little or no confidence at all in the information they receive from national news organizations.… Continue Reading

Narcissistic NPR Rejects Objective Truth and Respectful Dissent

Written by Dr. Everett Piper

In the past few weeks, Uri Berliner, a 25-year veteran of NPR, blew the whistle on the state-funded media giant’s pervasive liberal bias. In response, NPR’s new CEO, Katherine Maher, suspended the senior editor without pay for telling the truth about the company. This ultimately led to Mr. Berliner‘s resignation.

NPR’s heavy-handedness in suppressing truthful dissent should surprise no one. Ms. Maher, after all, has been clear in saying that “truth” is not important to her.… Continue Reading
