Years ago, while working at Fox News, I told the audience that major media outlets like The Washington Post, The New York Times, and most network news outlets would not tolerate conservative thought.
My imagery was that any employee wearing a MAGA hat, for example, even on private time, would be banished.
Subsequently, we have seen that play out in many leftwing companies. The latest is National Public Radio, where a former executive writes that a liberal bias is enforced enthusiastically.
NPR's CEO, Katherine Maher, once tweeted that "Donald Trump is a racist" and was openly sympathetic to the violent rioting after George Floyd's death.
Now, consider that NPR and its TV cousin PBS have convoluted access to about 500 million dollars yearly from American taxpayers, and you have an enormous scandal.
One footnote: In my 20+ years at the Fox News Channel, I never saw employees punished for liberal beliefs. People like Alan Colmes, Juan Williams, and Shepherd Smith prospered. The Executive Producer of the O'Reilly Factor was a proud Democrat.
That has never happened at the liberal news organizations. You either fall into line or work elsewhere.
Maybe Frontline could do a report on it.
See you this evening for the No Spin News.
