Ah, NPR.
Or, as it’s called in my ‘hood, National Palestine Radio.
Via NewsBusters:
National Public Radio and the Public Broadcasting Service have attempted on Fridays to run a “Week in Politics” segment and PBS even has a long-standing show called Washington Week. But on Friday, all these programs discussed a “week” utterly without any analysis of the 2015 elections.
Try to imagine how the media would have covered it if the transgender “equal rights” initiative won in Houston, pot was legalized in Ohio, Kentucky elected another Democrat governor, and the state senate went Democrat in Virginia. Wouldn’t that be brought to bear on how it might affect the presidential race in 2016 and the march of liberal inevitability? But conservatives won, so who has any time on a taxpayer-funded outlet?
The PBS NewsHour week-in-review chat with Mark Shields and David Brooks wrapped up with Judy Woodruff sheepishly noting “We didn’t get around to those elections this week. We will talk about it next Friday.”
….It’s even sillier on a half-hour show, when Gwen Ifill wrapped up by saying “That’s all we can fit in for now. There’s more on the Washington Week Webcast Extra. There’s more on the Washington Week Webcast Extra. We’ll stay around the table and talk about this week’s elections and ballot initiatives in Kentucky, Ohio, and Texas.”
To add insult to injury, anyone tuning in to this little webcast with a much smaller audience found Ifill mentioned “In a small way, a conservative wave this week” – at 7:50 of a ten-minute add-on….
….NPR’s All Things Considered never even mentioned the elections at all in their “Week In Politics.”….
Does anyone remember what chapter of Gwen Ifill’s 2009 book, The Breakthrough: Politics and Race in the Age of Obama, addresses don’t report on negative Democrat news? Or is that not an Obama era breakthrough? (Might be fun for someone to review what Ifill predicted for race relations under Obama versus what has occurred.)
Ifill and Woodruff are the moderators for the last Democrat debate in early 2016 in Wisconsin. Wow, the Democrats sure get the tough journalists for their last moderators. Do you think that Ifill or Woodruff will bring up the 2015 or 2014 election results? No neither. And do you think that the Republicans will be so fortunate with the selection of moderators for their last debate? Me neither.
How can they feel so possessed by libs to humiliate themselves like this?
Gwen Awful: …“In a small way, a conservative wave this week” …blub-blub-blub… gurgle…
Well, in the benighted Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, of course, libs had at least a fair outing, including THREE state supreme court “justices.” Just what the Detroit of states needs, three liberal toady black-robes to legislate what the legislature will not. Harrisburg went bankrupt years ago, in more ways than one.
Once more, the Awful Eyeful towers above the press corpse (intended) asskissocracy.
