NPR has always been moonbatty, often to the point of inducing nausea, but in recent years it has gone overboard into hardcore leftism. Uri Berliner worked there for a quarter of a century. He was recently driven out for publicly noticing the extreme bias of what is supposed to be an objective news outlet:

The change, he said, started with the election of Donald Trump. He described how the programming relentlessly pushed the Russian-collusion story only to leave it largely unmentioned once the Mueller report did not establish collusion; how NPR consciously refused to cover the Hunter Biden laptop story in the runup to the 2020 election; and how during Covid, its journalists portrayed the lab-leak theory as having been debunked when it had not been.

There is a thin line between spinning and lying. NPR crosses it on behalf of a profoundly destructive ideology.

In the wake of the George Floyd killing and the ensuing riots, NPR followed other institutions in imposing a DEI framework organization-wide.

NPR pushed its trademark flakiness to new extremes with “affinity groups”…

… including “MGIPOC (Marginalized Genders and Intersex People of Color mentorship program); Mi Gente (Latinx employees at NPR); NPR Noir (black employees at NPR); Southwest Asians and North Africans at NPR; Ummah (for Muslim-identifying employees); Women, Gender-Expansive, and Transgender People in Technology Throughout Public Media; Khevre (Jewish heritage and culture at NPR); and NPR Pride (LGBTQIA employees at NPR).”

Imagine expecting accurate coverage from this collective of kooks.

NPR regards identity group diversity as its “North Star.” As for viewpoint diversity,

When Berliner did a search of voter-registration records of editorial employees of the D.C. newsroom, he found 87 Democrats and zero Republicans.

They say a fish rots from the head. The head of NPR is CEO Katherine Maher:

“I do wish Hillary wouldn’t use the language of ‘boy and girl,’” she lamented in 2016, “it’s erasing language for non-binary people.” In 2020, she defended rioters, posting, “I mean, sure, looting is counterproductive. But it’s hard to be mad about protests not prioritizing the private property of a system of oppression founded on treating people’s ancestors as private property.” She also wrote, “Lots of jokes about leaving the US, and I get it. But as someone with cis white mobility privilege, I’m thinking I’m staying and investing in ridding ourselves of this spectre of tyranny.”

That must be a reference to Donald Trump, whose participation in a fair election represents what NPR types would call a “threat to Our Democracy.”

At another point, she posted a picture of herself — masked outdoors, naturally — with a “Biden for President” hat. In a meandering TED Talk that makes Vice President Kamala Harris’s musings seem coherent, Maher blurted out the gem that, “We all have different truths.”

Prepare to be condescended to as the head of NPR explains the concept of truth:

She clarifies that although all “truths” are equally valid, truths that do not comply with woke ideology are not valid; bitterly clinging to these wrong truths is what causes deplorables to distrust the liberal establishment:

Maher calls the First Amendment the “number 1 challenge” to suppressing “bad information” — i.e., “truths” she doesn’t like:

In this apparatchik’s conception of utopia, everything except the corrosive lies spewed on NPR would be illegal.

Bad enough that the federal government forces us to fund a news program. This is obviously unnecessary given the alphabet soup of news outlets (ABC/NBC/CBS/CNN/MSNBC/ETC.) and outside its constitutional purview. Forcing us to fund propaganda that does not pass the laugh test as objective news is corrupt.

Grotesquely excessive federal spending threatens the viability of the American economy. To save the country, a Javier Milei style chainsaw is required. Defunding low-hanging fruit like NPR/PBS is a no-brainer.

Imagine how clueless people must be who rely on leftist propaganda outlets like the government-affiliated BBC for information. For example, they might believe that Scarlet Blake — a Netflix-inspired cat torturer who graduated to murder — is not a transsexual but a woman:

The broadcaster received complaints about how Scarlet Blake’s trans identity was not mentioned in an online article on Feb 23 and the BBC News at One three days later, on the day [he] was sentenced.

This was found to breach the Beeb’s own accuracy rules. But accuracy takes a back seat to promoting the preposterous lie that “trans women” (i.e., men who proclaim themselves to be women) literally are women, although some BBC reports did admit to Blake’s transsexual status.

From deliberately using erroneous pronouns to keeping readers in the dark by never mentioning the actual gender of criminals is a short step. This assertion from the BBC’s Executive Complaints Unit is astonishing in its contempt for both factual reality and logic:

“[A] simple refusal to use the terms in which people who regard themselves as transgender describe themselves would in effect be an endorsement of one viewpoint in this controversy.”

That is, the BBC kowtows to LGBT ideologues by deliberately using false and misleading pronouns because to describe subjects accurately would endorse the viewpoint that objective reality should take precedence over the delusions/pretensions of sick freaks like Blake.

For BBC viewers, deception and inaccuracy are not bugs but features. They want to be protected from anything that would challenge their viewpoint. The Beeb can be relied on to subordinate factual reality to the Narrative.

Those who are not devoted moonbats are advised never to take anything reported by the BBC at face value. The same goes for the entire alphabet soup of liberal establishment propaganda platforms (PBS, NPR, ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, etc.).

If you watch CNN long enough, eventually you will see one of its less gifted professional liars slip and say something true. In the video below, Stephanie Elam explains the appeal of O.J. Simpson: it gratifies certain people to see a black guy get away with murder.

It is especially gratifying to some when there is no doubt whatsoever of his guilt and his victims are Caucasian.

There is a big election coming, and for obvious reasons, the Democrat establishment is vulnerable. Time to intimidate the public with massive race riots like in 2020.

Did the police kill Dexter Reed just to be racist? Actually no; the scumbag had opened fire on them, wounding an officer. But that’s not how the mainstream media presents it. Via Breitbart:

• The Incredible Shrinking Washington Post: Police fire 96 shots in 41 seconds, killing [b]lack man during traffic stop

• USA Today: Seat belt violation ends with [b]lack man dead on Chicago street after cops fired nearly 100 bullets

• CBS News: Why did traffic stop, shootout with Chicago Police killed Dexter Reed escalate so rapidly?

• The Independent: Black man’s family demand answers after bodycam shows Chicago police firing 96 times in deadly shooting

• Associated Press: Deadly Chicago traffic stop where police fired 96 shots raises serious questions about use of force

• Chicago Sun-Times: Killing of Dexter Reed raises questions about Chicago police reform. ‘The message is, go in guns blazing.’

The liberals in charge had good reason to bestow large monetary rewards upon Black Lives Matter rioters in places like Philadelphia, New York, and Denver. They wanted to be sure their weaponized mob could be relied on when needed.

Even if hyping Dexter Reed gets insufficient traction because it is too obvious that the police did nothing wrong, it will at least help prime the pump for the inevitable next incident.

The stupidity of the propagandists who install opinions via television is so massive, it could shake the earth and blot out the sun. Sunny Hostin exceeds the cognitive deficiency even of her cohosts on the ABC News program The View, as she confirmed today by suggesting that the imaginary climate crisis caused an earthquake and the eclipse.

First, she made fun of Christians:

Hostin, a self-proclaimed devout Catholic, laughed about how their studio makeup artist “put on her coat” and “ran down the hallway” during the earthquake saying “Jesus is coming” and “the rapture is here.”

Then Hostin tied the earthquake, multiple cicada broods, and today’s eclipse all together under a moonbat unified field theory:

“All those things together would maybe lead one to believe that either climate change exists, or something is really going on,” she proclaimed.

What’s going on is leftist social engineers are using their control of the media not merely to indoctrinate but to reduce the population to mental retardation.

People who watch that show vote.

The media starts deceiving right in the headlines. For example:

A bald-faced lie told in the headline is farcically maintained throughout the story:

Las Vegas Metro police arrested Kayla Alery, 27, on charges including open murder and assault with a deadly weapon shortly after the shooting at an apartment complex…

Witnesses at the scene provided officers with an initial suspect description of a man with facial and neck tattoos… Officers were then able to locate Alery nearby. However, when police found her, she was identified as a woman in her 20s.

Actually, Kayla Alery is a man with facial and neck tattoos. Fortunately, photos are provided so that we can see this for ourselves.

Alery most recently served prison time on two arson charges, records said. A judge had sentenced her to 14-36 years in prison. In August, the parole board granted her a release effective Dec. 5, 2023, records said.

No doubt the trans angle helped him get early parole. Membership has its privileges, especially in classes favored by our moonbat rulers.

Thanks do go to the author for implicitly admitting that letting criminals run free is getting people killed, and that legal restrictions on the firearms we use to protect ourselves from them are not the answer. However, he goes out of his way to dishonestly characterize Alery as a woman:

Alery was allegedly inside the complex checking car doors to see if they were unlocked… Several people notified the apartment leasing manager who then asked maintenance workers to go and search for the reported suspect and get them off the property.

“Them” means Alery.

While workers searched for that person, two men inside a carpet cleaning company van were parked at the complex… Police then stated that the female suspect quickly approached the van and pulled out her gun and shot the van’s driver.

Nowhere in the story is it acknowledged that Alery is not really a woman.

The appalling senselessness of his most recent crime earns Mr. Alery a spot in the Transsexual Violence Hall of Horrors.

That didn’t last long:

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) and former President Donald Trump ripped NBC as “weak” and “an absolute disgrace” after the network dropped former Republican National Committee Chair Ronna McDaniel four days after announcing her hiring as a contributor.

NBC announced on Tuesday that McDaniel was out after multiple hosts — including Chuck Todd, Joe Scarborough, Mika Brzezinski, and Nicolle Wallace — criticized the network’s decision to hire the former RNC leader.

Even Ronna the RINO as she is sometimes called is too far to the right for the propagandists staffing NBC News. They have their standards, after all — or rather one standard: total conformity to leftist ideology.

NBC News Chairman Cesar Conde explains why McDaniel will not be a contributor after all:

“No organization, particularly a newsroom, can succeed unless it is cohesive and aligned. Over the last few days, it has become clear that this appointment undermines that goal.”

At least they are finally dropping the pretense of objectivity, which was an insult to our intelligence. NBC News speaks for the moonbat fever swamps that comprise the Democratic Party’s base. Any other viewpoint would undermine the Narrative.

When the media and the ruling party are two heads on the same Hydra, the population getting ground under its heel may have to resort to guerilla communication:

It is politically unorthodox to object to moral decay or even to your country being washed away in an engineered tsunami of illegal immigrants. So the media characterizes the signs as hate speech:

What are described as hate speech signs were removed from the state Capitol grounds Friday morning. …

The signs were first spotted outside the Colorado Capitol around 5:30 a.m. Friday.

“I think it definitely went overboard. Even having that kind of hate in your heart is a step too far,” Together Denver Organizer Amy Beck said.

Whimpered another person selected to express the approved point of view:

“It’s very hurtful to me, it’s just a form of hate.”

Hate crime charges may come atop vandalism and criminal mischief after the authorities who allow illegal immigration and prostitution to flourish track down the culprit.

Inside the Capitol, you can find signs that are approved by the liberal establishment, and therefore are not hate speech:

To quote George Orwell,

“We have now sunk to a depth at which restatement of the obvious is the first duty of intelligent men. If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear. In times of universal deceit, telling the truth will be a revolutionary act.”

That means Elon Musk is in for more hate from the liberal establishment:

As CatholicVote reports,

To back up his claims, the X owner cited a 2022 analysis from The Washington Free Beacon penned by Manhattan Institute fellow Charles Fain Lehman.

In his analysis, Lehman wrote that a Free Beacon “review of hundreds of articles published by major papers over a span of two years finds that papers downplay the race of non-white offenders, mentioning their race much later in articles than they do for white offenders.”

“These papers are also three to four times more likely to mention an offender’s race at all if he is white, a disparity that grew in the wake of George Floyd’s death in 2020 and the protests that followed,” Lehman added.

Batten down the hatches, Elon. The truer something is, the more furious the storm it will evoke if you say it out loud.

The New York Times is the flagship publication of the liberal establishment. Generations have passed since it could be taken seriously as an objective source of information. Times reporter Walter Duranty started propagandizing on behalf of the Soviet Union over a century ago. He received a Pulitzer for hiding Stalin’s atrocities from the public; the NY Times refuses to disavow the prize to this day. Yet not even the Shady Gray Lady is biased enough to suit other propaganda platforms in the increasingly radicalized — and increasingly desperate — “mainstream” media.

Gripes CNN:

The Times has been far too distracted as of late by worries over President Joe Biden’s age, allowing it to steal attention away from the larger and far more serious danger posed by a second Trump administration.

That is, the danger to the liberal agenda.

Media moonbats are especially enraged that the NY Times put out a poll admitting that the American people do not like Joe Biden. The poll complicates Democrat strategy by confirming that Biden is likely to lose a fair election.

Hilariously, the conspicuously far-left NY Times is accused of conservative bias for touching on the topic of Biden’s obvious decrepitude and senility:

“That they even asked this question [i.e., whether Biden is too old] is evidence of the bias — the agenda — in their poll,” Jeff Jarvis, the Leonard Tow Professor of Journalism Innovation at the CUNY Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism, posted on Threads.

CNN even criticizes itself for not being sufficiently devoted to suppressing information that undermines the Democrat party line:

CNN and MSNBC can’t even seem to arrive at a firm policy over how to cover Trump’s live remarks (at times, both networks have boasted about how they don’t air his lie-filled speeches live, and at other times, such as on Monday, they both did just that).

No doubt letting the public hear the speeches of the opposition candidate would constitute conservative bias.

Moonbats can largely avoid hearing the opposing point of view by sticking to MSNBC. Following Trump mopping up on Super Tuesday, its election panel quickly cut away from his victory speech:

[Militant moonbat Rachel] Maddow was unapologetic about her network’s deliberate decision to cut off the former president’s speech. …

“I will say that it is a decision that we revisit constantly in terms of the balance between allowing somebody to knowingly lie on your air about things they’ve lied about before and you can predict they are going to lie about,” Maddow explained.

“And so, therefore, it is just irresponsible to allow them to do that.”

It is “irresponsible” to allow the public to hear what one of the two presidential candidates has to say, because if the opponent says it, it must be a lie.

A legitimate news source would let us hear the speech, then fact check it for inaccuracies. However, the purpose of the liberal media is not to inform but to provide an echo chamber, egging on liberals to climb ever further out on a limb.

When Trump wins, the limb will break and dump them to the ground — provided we have a fair election.

Here is the speech MSNBC doesn’t want the public to hear:

The supercilious bigotry that characterizes the liberal ruling class is at its most conspicuous at MSNBC, which explicitly eggs on its audience to hate rural whites:

People who enrage liberals merely by existing will inevitably stand accused of rage. Letting such people vote is a threat to democracy.

Of all Thomas Schaller’s bigoted calumnies, accusing rural whites of regarding “violence as an acceptable alternative to peaceful public discourse” in the aftermath of hundreds of Democrat-endorsed urban black riots stands out by achieving a Peter Cahill level of hypocrisy.

Later in the segment, Paul Waldman stumbles onto an accurate if obvious insight by characterizing support for Trump as “a way to essentially give a big middle finger” to himself and the repugnant ruling class he personifies. Lend the authors of White Rural Rage a few IQ points and they might figure out they are effectively campaigning for Trump by highlighting how much the liberal establishment hates regular Americans.

Liberals have effectively legalized shoplifting in ever more areas they control, forcing stores to close as empowered lowlifes steal whatever comes to hand. Let’s see how the Washington Post spins the intolerable situation:

Post culture reporter Maura Judkis authored [a] piece in the paper’s Style section on Friday, with the headline “The zombie CVS, a late-capitalism horror story.”

The term “late-capitalism” implies WaPo propagandists think the goal of ending economic freedom and reducing us to collectivist poverty has nearly been achieved.

Judkis noted how a Columbia Heights, D.C. CVS had been looted and shoplifted from so much that there was hardly anything of value on store shelves until it was shut down this week.

But we are told it is no big deal that American cities are no longer sufficiently civilized for stores to operate. The USA deserves worse:

Judkis wrote, “America is a sticky-fingered nation built on stolen land, and its current moral panic is about shoplifting.”

We need to focus on the real villain, which is not mobs of looting savages and the progressives who enable them, but the once great country they are looting to death.

Google promotes the sexual abuse of children by demanding we be “nuanced” in our opinion of pedophilia. Likewise, New Scientist calls for a “more subtle view” of the next taboo social engineers plan to normalize, cannibalism:

Ethically, cannibalism poses fewer issues than you might imagine. If a body can be bequeathed with consent to medical science, why can’t it be left to feed the hungry?

If you disapprove of cannibalism, you don’t care about feeding the hungry. You may even be a Christian nationalist:

Our aversion has been explained in various ways. Perhaps it is down to the fact that, in Western religious traditions, bodies are seen as the seat of the soul and have a whiff of the sacred.

Worse yet, you could be a racist:

Or maybe it is culturally ingrained, with roots in early modern colonialism, when racist stereotypes of the cannibal were concocted to justify subjugation. These came to represent the “other” to Western societies – and revulsion towards cannibalism became a tenet of their moral conscience.

Anyone not get it yet that woke ideology is pure evil?

Progressives progress. It’s what they do. After homosexualizing children and normalizing pedophilia, continuing to push the envelope won’t be easy.

Remember Yousef Masoud? He was among the journalists embedded with terrorists or rather terrorists posing as journalists who took part in the crimes against humanity that occurred last October 7. For his service in the war against decency and sanity:

Among the winners of the George Polk Awards is a journalist from The New York Times who is accused of infiltrating into Israel early in the morning of the October 7 massacres.

Yousef was credited with taking a photo of terrorists waving a Palestinian flag next to a destroyed Israeli tank on that infamous day.

[Media watchdog] HonestReporting questioned Masoud’s explanation of his presence that he’d been woken up at 5.30 a.m. by rocket fire even though the firing only started an hour later. …

Masoud’s name was included in an investigative report from November showing that journalists from leading news outlets, including The New York Times, AP, Reuters, and CNN, joined Hamas terrorists from the Gaza Strip on October 7 to document the events with their cameras.

What you tolerate you get more of. Walter Duranty of the New York Times was rewarded with a Pulitzer for lying to the public to cover the tens of millions Stalin was murdering during the Holodomor. The perversion of journalism on behalf of pure evil by leftists continues.

Finally, there is some pushback:

A Jewish advocacy group filed a lawsuit on Wednesday charging the Associated Press with “material support of terrorism,” asserting that the news wire made payments to known agents of Hamas.

The National Jewish Advocacy Center asserts that on and after October 7, the date of the Hamas massacre of over 1,200 Israelis, the AP paid for real-time images of the attacks being carried out by photographers who are “known associates” of the terrorist group. Included in the group of images were scenes of Israeli hostages being transported into Gaza, where many of them have since been killed.

Yousef Masoud is among the “journalists” listed in the suit. He has been working on a freelance basis for both the New York Times and Associated Press.

The point of terrorism is to generate propaganda to demoralize the enemy. Terrorists need the MSM more than we do. They work together for a common goal: the downfall of Western Civilization.

Morally, the only difference between the liberal media establishment and Hamas fiends who butcher children and rape females of all ages is that the terrorists aren’t traitors.
