So the House Republicans voted to end taxpayer funding for PBS and NPR. NPR CEO Katherine Maher has repeatedly claimed, in the face of avalanches of evidence, that she has never witnessed any bias at NPR. That’s beyond ridiculous. You can find it, day after day, hour on the hour. This week’s Los Angeles rioting provided plenty of exhibits.
On the June 11 Morning Edition, Los Angeles-based co-host A Martinez told listeners “We want to get a sense of how the community around Los Angeles is feeling about the decision to mobilize the military against civilians.” Notice how there’s no mention here of responding to violence or unrest by “civilians.”
The NPR host turned to Los Angeles Times columnist Gustavo Arellano and these two Latino journalists engaged in a riotous defense of the protests against immigration enforcement. Arellano began by claiming “people feel like Trump doesn't see them as Americans, that he sees us as prisoners, basically.”
