In response to allegations that NPR is a “biased propaganda machine

1) NPR reported that “white school districts have so much more money” than those that serve “students of color” — when in reality — NPR excluded federal funding, which has equalized per-student spending between minority and non-minority school districts since the early 1970s.

2) NPR accused President Trump of calling “some of the white nationalists” at a violent protest “very fine people” — when in reality — Trump stated that they were “very bad people,” explicitly “condemned” them, and emphasized that the “very fine people” were not the white supremacists but other people who showed up to “innocently” and “legally” protest.

3) NPR reported it is false that “the federal government is banning incandescent light bulbs” — when in reality — that is what the law required and what ultimately happened.

4) NPR reported that “more than 99% of recent deaths” from Covid-19 in 2021 “were among the unvaccinated” — when in reality — more than half of all Covid deaths were among the fully vaccinated.

5) Without pushback, NPR reported the statement of a Democrat politician who alleged that Wisconsin judge Hannah Dugan was justified in obstructing ICE from arresting an illegal immigrant because ICE “did not have a real warrant signed by a real judge” — when in reality — ICE had the correct warrant to conduct the arrest.

6) NPR reported that “climate change” is causing hurricanes to move “more slowly, which means more damage” — when in reality — the study that NPR coyly cited states that the “analyses presented here do not constitute a detection and attribution study because there are likely to be many factors, natural and anthropogenic, that control tropical-cyclone translation speed.”

7) NPR reported that Joe Biden “has not explicitly expressed support for late-term abortions” — when in reality — Biden explicitly supported codifying Roe v. Wade, which legalized abortions up till birth if abortionists merely claimed they were for “health.”

8 NPR reported that the “U.S. Park Police and National Guard troops” used “tear gas” against “people nonviolently protesting police brutality” to clear the way for a “Trump church photo-op” — when in reality — the protestors were violent, the protest was cleared because of their violence, the timing had nothing to do with Trump, and it was the DC Police (under the Democrat mayor) who deployed the teargas.

9) NPR reported that “morning-after pills don’t cause abortion” — when in reality — they destroy embryos before they implant, which many doctors, scientists, and citizens consider to be abortions.

10) NPR reported that the perpetrator of a Colorado movie theater massacre used an “assault rifle” — when in reality — he had a common semi-automatic rifle, not an “assault rifle,” which are used by the military and have been generally banned for civilians since 1986.

11) NPR reported that not raising the debt ceiling could cause the federal government to “default” on its debt — when in reality — it would force the federal government to run a balanced budget and would not result in a debt default unless the president flouted the law and the Constitution.

12) NPR reported that a study on illegal voting by non-citizens was based on “discredited estimates” from a “widely contested 2014 paper” that was rejected by 200 political scientists — when in reality — that claim has always been questionable and was irrelevant to the study at hand, which uses data from 2022.

13) NPR reported that a “payroll tax holiday” “reduced Social Security’s revenues” — when in reality — the law that created the payroll tax holiday required that monies “equal to” the decreased payroll taxes be “transferred from the general fund” of the U.S. Treasury to the Social Security program.

14) NPR’s Public Editor wrote that NPR is not reporting on “the NY Post’s Hunter Biden story” because “we don’t want to waste our time on stories that are not really stories” — when in reality — the Post’s report was accurate and implicated Joe Biden in bribery, extortion, and obstruction of justice.
