The rosy jobs numbers coming out of the Biden administration have sent many a media outlet to pooh-pooh critics of Bidenomics, but even some mainstream media outlets are beginning to question the numbers they are seeing. For much of the last month, the U.S. Labor Department has reported that the weekly number of unemployment filings […]
I’m old enough to remember the hubbub over JournoList, a listserv of leftist reporters from different news outlets who convened regularly in a chatroom to strategize how to spin stories and set narratives, such as how to torpedo Gov.Sarah Palin to get Barack Obama elected president. From 2007 to 2010, JournoList was its own echo chamber, as Politico put it at the […]
Uri Berliner’s provocative recent essay lamenting “the absence of viewpoint diversity” at NPR brought to mind the critiques of Liz Spayd, the little-remembered final public editor at the New York Times. Spayd, like Berliner, was a veteran journalist whose departure was a study in the limited tolerance at elite […]
If it ever feels like television’s anti-Trump talking heads are reading from the same talking points, it turns out they are. A lengthy, report published Tuesday by the Inside-the-Beltway Bible Politico revealed that some of the best-known opponents of former President Donald Trump have been conducting weekly conference calls to compare notes on Trump’s ongoing […]

The Constitution guarantees everyone the right to a fair trial. The presumption of innocence and the right to a fair trial are cornerstones of American values. Yet Democrats, who claim to be the party of protecting “our democracy,” have made it abundantly clear that they would not afford Trump the same fairness that they […]
By golly, I think we’ve discovered the qualifications that got Katherine Maher hired to run Government Radio. Christopher Rufo has done extensive digging into Maher’s track record, none of which had anything to do with journalism until NPR made her its new CEO in January. Maher did work at Wikipedia as its CEO during the […]
The senior National Public Radio editor who was suspended without pay after he pointed out the network’s extreme, left-wing bias has made a stunning new announcement. On Wednesday Uri Berliner resigned from the network after 25 years at his job. His resignation comes on the tail of being suspended for daring to point out the […]
Last week, The Free Press published a piece by a senior editor for National Public Radio in which he laid out why he thinks the network has lost the trust of its listeners. On Tuesday, seeming to prove him correct, NPR suspended him for daring to speak out. Uri Berliner, who has been with NPR […]
