National Public Radio may be funded by taxpayer dollars, but its audience is firmly on the Left. It’s literally New York Times Radio, as “The Daily” podcast from the Times airs on almost 300 NPR stations every weekday. Inside this airless liberal silo, they can grow very arrogant about how they save democracy.
On April Fools’ Day, host Michael Barbaro brought on Times political reporter Jim Rutenberg to discuss “Ronna McDaniel, TV News and the Trump Problem.” Rutenberg should be best known for his infamous 2016 front-page editorial announcing objectivity was officially going in the trash can (as if it was vibrantly observed before).
Rutenberg described the Trump Problem: “If you’re a working journalist and you believe that Donald J. Trump is a demagogue playing to the nation’s worst racist and nationalistic tendencies, that he cozies up to anti-American dictators and that he would be dangerous with control of the United States nuclear codes, how the heck are you supposed to cover him?”
Rutenberg proclaimed the “objective” media must now be “oppositional.” Then the Times unfurled the arrogant motto “Truth. It’s More Important Now Than Ever,” and put it on T-shirts.
This created another “Trump problem.” The Republican half of the country would dismiss them as Democrat messengers (if they weren’t dismissed before).
Republican listeners could break out a middle-fingers salute at the end of this podcast. They discussed how temporary CNN boss Chris Licht thought CNN “put on a jersey, took a side,” which they obviously did.
Barbaro concluded after NBC’s Ronna McDaniel debacle, “a network like NBC perhaps doesn’t put a jersey on, but accepts the reality that a lot of the world sees them wearing a jersey.”
Rutenberg implausibly claimed, “No one wants to be wearing a jersey on our business. But maybe what they really have to accept is that we’re just sticking to the true facts, and that may look like we’re wearing a jersey, but we’re not. And that may, at times, look like it’s lining up more with the Democrats, but we’re not. If Trump is lying about a stolen election, that’s not siding against him. That’s siding for the truth, and that’s what we’re doing.”
What these men are really saying is that liberal journalists want to have their cake and eat it, too. They want to launch their flagrantly righteous takes against Trump and his voters, and they want to be celebrated as nonpartisan at the same time. “We’re wearing True Facts jerseys!”
Incredibly, this wasn’t the only NPR program on April Fools’ Day preaching this sermon. On “1-A” out of D.C. station WAMU, host Todd Zwillich also disparaged Licht’s approach, especially the Trump town hall with Kaitlan Collins.
“I think that you’re seeing increasingly, luckily, journalists who cover politics realize they’re not in the old game anymore, that neutrality doesn’t only not serve them anymore, but doesn’t serve the public anymore,” Zwillich proclaimed. “It doesn’t mean being partisan. It doesn’t mean you’re for one side. It means you’re for truth.”
They seize on Trump’s election denial as if it’s the only issue. Both shows never touched on the Hunter Biden laptop or any other issue where the media suppressed true facts. NPR executive Terence Samuel infamously said, “We don’t want to waste our time on stories that are not really stories.” It was a “pure distraction.” Then the Times and other liberal outlets acknowledged the laptop was real … in 2022.
99% of the News Stories we get is Fake and 1% is real since it mostly comes though the NYT’s and CNN
Didn’t Old Joe proclaim in one of his earlier, shouting, finger pointing speeches that “we believe in truth, not facts”.
Well, it’s true that Ashley Biden wrote that her father showered with he when she was an adolescent and she thought that might be responsible for her later sex addiction. It’s true that Joe Biden had to repeat Fourth Grade. It’s true that Joe Biden had been plagiarizing at least since law school. It’s true that Joe Biden was known for years as “The Senator from MBNA” given his “closeness” with that major credit card issuing bank. It’s true that Jill’s former husband said that she and Joe were doing the nasty while Jill and he were still married. Did they report any of these true facts? Our media are totally corrupt and totally garbage. What douchebags like the people quoted in this article mean is that they’ll report “facts” (even when untrue like Russia collusion or the Charlottesville myth) harmful to the Republicans and conceal facts harmful to Democrats. How do they sleep at night?
And just saying something doesn’t make the statement true. The “we’re just sticking to the true facts,” is just their way of saying “we’re sticking the the narratives that promote our personal agendas.” And denying that, doesn’t make it false.
One way the MainStreamMedia would be able legitimately to deny that it is biased- is by not running stories that later on prove to be incorrect. And even when it is demonstrated that these stories are incorrect they keep on running them. After running their retraction-they then hide the biased-mistake, like a little child who forgets his/her errors.
For instance, the Charlottsville rally; the Jan. 6th “insurrection” ; the blared= over and over again- Russian Collusion; The Hunter Biden computer. They said the computer was a fake, they said it was Russian Collusion, finally, they said-in the NY Times, which had originally said that the computer was riddled with bogus files, that it wasn’t a fake.
We never hear in the MSM about Hunter’s computer anymore-even though it was a big, big story that, if it had been reported correctly the first time, most likely have decided the 2020 election in favor of Trump.
The real question is why anyone-in his/her right mind- would still believe the “journalism” of our MSM. The answer is anyone in his right mind wouldn’t. The rest are Democrats!
NPR is 100% democrat propaganda, and it’s been that way for decades. The inference that they are anything other than that is simply laughable.
We do not have journalists anymore. We have IMTs (Information Manipulation Technicians).
