In February, IDF special forces managed to raid a site in Gaza and free two hostages being held by Hamas — Luis Har and Fernando Marman. When NPR’s Daniel Estrin interviewed Har, a 71-year-old accountant, instead of sympathetically sharing in Har’s relief, he seemed peeved that Har did not criticize the IDF’s use of airstrikes […]
NPR’s Daniel Estrin Deliberately Misinterprets Israeli In Order to Portray Him as Anti-Arab Racist
Daniel Estrin has been reporting for NPR from Israel for some years now, always with an anti-Israel slant, sometimes slight, and sometimes most pronounced. In one recent case, he managed to make it seem that the Israeli he was interviewing was an anti-Arab racist. More on his coverage can be found here: “Exposed: Media Outlet […]
NPR Lies Outrageously About Republicans on Your Nickel
New in PJ Media: American taxpayers pay for National Public Radio, and what do we get for our money? Increasingly hysterical and unbelievable Leftist propaganda. This Thursday’s Morning Edition Report was over the top even for NPR, with the far-Left organization’s “Domestic Extremism Correspondent,” Odette Yousef, claiming that fully 20% of Republican state legislators want to alter […]
Defund NPR: Man Plots to Kill Biden, NPR Omits From Story That He Was Bernie Bro With Books on Islam
My latest in PJ Media: We don’t really need yet another reason to defund NPR, but here’s a new one anyway. It reported on Friday that Alexander Hillel Treisman, a 19-year-old from North Carolina, was arrested when police investigating a report that his van was abandoned “looked into the van’s windows and saw an array […]
How NPR Still Reports Falsehoods About Those Murders of Muslims in Chapel Hill, North Carolina
While listening to NPR on Sunday, October 9, 2020, at 1:25 PM Pacific Time, I heard the NPR announcer mention the “anti-Muslim killings some years ago in Chapel Hill.” This dreamy bit of misinformation, so offhandedly delivered (as if no one could disagree), startled me. And not for the first time. On February 10, 2016, […]
“Palestinian” boasts to NPR: “We want to burn” the Jews, “the Jews go crazy” when they see our swastika kites
No doubt this was not the messaging that NPR wanted to put out when they invited him on. But sometimes, even if by accident, the truth makes it onto the Leftist airwaves. “Gazan Boasts to NPR About Driving Israelis ‘Crazy’ by Putting Swastikas on Firebomb Kite: ‘We Want to Burn Them,’” by David Rutz, Washington […]
NPR whitewashes Mateen’s jihadist motive, calling his pledge of allegiance to the Islamic State a publicity stunt
In the name of political correctness, the leftist ideologues are at it again, abetting jihadists by publicly denying their destructive ambitions for the West. This time, it’s NPR stating that Mateen “evoked ISIS as a ‘cover story’ to gain more publicity.” This make-it-up-as-you-go approach has no limits in the propaganda war against truth. It’s a […]
Hugh Fitzgerald: NPR and the Chapel Hill Murders
On February 10th, NPR ran a piece about the murders of three people — all Muslims — in Chapel Hill, North Carolina exactly one year before. The murderer was Craig Hicks, who lived in the same apartment complex as the victims. Investigation of his Facebook page showed conclusively that Hicks leaned to the left in […]
Hugh Fitzgerald: The Mainstream Media’s Multifarious Mental Junk
I have been watching, listening to, and reading all the multifarious mental junk that has been on offer on NPR and on CNN and on Fox, and at The Times and The Post and tutti quanti, and witnessing all these sudden scholars of terrorism, ranging from tough-guy ex-FBI agents to left-wing Democrats alike, offering every […]
U.S. and West Victimize Christians Fleeing ISIS
Gatestone Institute Not only does the West facilitate the persecution of Christians in the Middle East, but in the West as well. According to a recent NPR report, the U.S. supported “moderate” coalition fighting both Bashar Assad and the Islamic State in Syria “has extremists in its own ranks who have mistreated Christians and forced […]
