Give me a break. I worked at Viacom/CBS (now Paramount) for over a decade. Of course, it was 90% Democrats. Everyone knows this. Everyone. And newsrooms in particular vote Democrat to a higher degree than Berkeley, California. And you know what? Fine. I have lots of friends with whom I disagree from my time there. It was a great place, actually. To act as if this claim about bias is controversial, let alone inaccurate, shows that he’s either a liar, an imbecile, or so deeply incurious and tunnel-visioned that you don’t belong anywhere near any job involving information discernment. But he’s got that familiar anchor voice, so we’re supposed to act like he’s not being a complete clown. Give me a break. You people are a mess.

NPR being NPR:" A new study suggests that the National Guard's presence has done little to reduce violent crime in Washington, D.C., despite the steep cost.." Eventually you learn there was a "24% reduction in opportunistic crimes, like theft or vehicle break-ins"--the sort of pervasive crime that destroys a sense of order. If you ran for mayor on that 24% reduction you'd have a solid platform.

When I was young, the Southern Poverty Law Center was one of the most respected organizations in the country. To see what it’s become over the past 25 years is shocking. It’s now beyond the point of redemption. thefp.com/p/ayaan-hirsi-ali-…

While my peers turned on Israel and the Jewish people, I became an unlikely inheritor of our ancient tradition, writes Olivia Reingold. thefp.com/p/i-am-an-october-…

How does a liberal college student go from volunteering for Elizabeth Warren and climate causes… to chanting “Death to America” in Iran? That’s the question investigative reporter @FPJaySolomon set out to solve when he started looking into the disturbing story of Calla Walsh.

Woodward and Bernstein didn’t have this many un-named sources— “A long time media exec” “one producer” “One senior reporter” “An editor” “A former Opinions columnist” “A former classmate “Another person” “A former Free Press employee” And many more… newyorker.com/magazine/2026/…

Venezuela used to be much wealthier than Poland, which was suffering under socialism. Then Poland implemented free-market and capitalist principles and enjoyed an economic boom. Venezuela chose socialism, which brought poverty and misery to its people. That’s the difference.

"On too many stories, the press has missed the story. Because we've taken into account the perspective of advocates and not the average American. Or we put too much weight in the analysis of academics or elites, and not enough on you." That changes now. The new CBS Evening News starts Monday at 6:30 p.m. ET on CBS.

TWITTER FILES: KATIE COURIC EDITION @katiecouric says Bari Weiss is "compromising" journalism, adding, “This idea that these corporations are putting pressure on their journalists is so repugnant." nypost.com/2025/11/20/media/…

Much of the coverage by the BBC and its allies this morning is utterly unhinged. This is not “a coup”. This is not “a right-wing plot”. This is not “Boris Johnson”. This is not “Robbie Gibb”. This is about a taxpayer-funded broadcaster which on everything from immigration to trans, British history to Israel, Donald Trump to our borders, has relentlessly pursued a systemically biased liberal progressive groupthink that represents no more than 15% of the country, and which is now being called out.

I don't think the progressives understand the deep anger and sense of loss over the BBC We *had* something wonderful And you corrupted it with your grubby little politics and you destroyed it. The public are rightly sad and rightly angry

A fantastic piece from @EWErickson ewerickson.substack.com/p/di…

Once in a while I catch NPR in an Uber these days, and HOLY SHIT the cons are totally right about it. It's just pure woke politics stuff nonstop. I swear in 2019 it wasn't like that.

I get a version of this response every time I write about viewpoint diversity, and it is mind-boggling to watch people simultaneously insisting that academia is super-open-minded and empirical and in no way a progressive bubble, and also that conservatives are all fascists.

So, NPR Code Switch did an episode on “what Israel means to American Jews” and only talked to anti-Zionists? Incredible.

She was as warm and kind and witty in person as she was on the radio. Susan Stamberg made me so proud to work at NPR in its glory days.
