Joseph Wulfsohn at Foxnews.com explored what NPR senior editor Uri Berliner wrote about Israel in his bombshell expose at The Free Press‚ run by former New York Times editorial writer Bari Weiss. This may be the biggest insider story since Bernard Goldberg wrote about CBS News in his book Bias. But in this case‚ Berliner is still inside NPR.at least‚ for now.First‚ he mentioned Israel on a list: Theres an unspoken consensus about the stories we should pursue and how they should be framed. Its frictionlessone story after another about instances of supposed racism‚ transphobia‚ signs of the climate apocalypse‚ Israel doing something bad‚ and the dire threat of Republican policies. Its almost like an assembly line.Then he was more specific:We have approached the Israel-Hamas war and its spillover onto streets and campuses through the intersectional lens that has jumped from the faculty lounge to newsrooms. Oppressor versus oppressed. Thats meant highlighting the suffering of Palestinians at almost every turn while downplaying the atrocities of October 7‚ overlooking how Hamas intentionally puts Palestinian civilians in peril‚ and giving little weight to the explosion of antisemitic hate around the world.Berliner';s page at NPR.org shows he helped with a 2022 story on how Adidas cut Trump-backing rapper Kanye West loose after anti-Semitic outbursts. But since October 7‚ NPR';s been more aggressive in promoting the Council on American-Islamic Relations (and their claims of exploding Islamophobia) than the Anti-Defamation League‚ and both are firmly on the Left.Wulfsohn reported Berliner went more in-depth on the Honestly podcast. ";To me‚ this is probably the most troubling thing because you know‚ in the weeks immediately following October 7‚ we saw Jewish students being locked into a library where pro-Palestinian protesters were banging on the door. We saw Glory be to the martyrs projected on a school building. We saw posters of kidnapped children and elders being ripped down‚ and we really didn';t cover this sort of stunning outburst of antisemitism for a number of weeks‚"; Berliner told host Bari Weiss.";And the first story of any significance that we did on antisemitism was a story about pro-ceasefire Jews getting a bunch of crap from their Zionist relatives. And that was like the first story we did about antisemitism of any significance. And to me‚ it was like‚ What is going on here?";It appears Berliner was referring to a report published Oct. 28 titled ";For some Jewish peace activists‚ demands for a ceasefire come at a personal cost.";";This is one of the things I brought up with our senior news executives. And I will say‚ you know‚ when I bring these things up‚ everyone is polite. They say‚ ';It';s a good point. I understand your perspective. But I don';t think things changed‚"; Berliner added.Berliner also mentioned his negative reaction when NPR colleagues started advocating for the terms preferred by what he vaguely called a ";Middle Eastern journalism affinity group."; We could guess the terms in question included ";genocide‚"; ";terrorism‚"; and ";from the river to the sea.";";I do remember on October 10‚ this was three days after the attack when Israel has not responded‚ this was in our union chat group‚"; Berliner said. ";We had one journalist saying‚ let';s use this guidance from this Middle Eastern journalism affinity group about the language we use describing this war that';s about to start. And I said no. We should not get our guidance from journalism advocacy groups. I don';t think we should get our guidance from the ADL‚ no. We need to make our own decisions about how we cover this. I got a lot of pushback‚ people say‚ ';No‚ this isn';t political. This is just using the precise language‚'; but it was a very tense exchange.";This is what the Left does. Using ";politically correct"; or ";sensitive"; lingo ";isn';t political‚"; it';s ";precise.";

The tides are freaking turning.Our culture has exhausted itself trying to prove that women have to be single‚ have to have high paying jobs and can';t settle down and start a family. That‚ however‚ doesn';t seem to bring them happiness.Dr. Wendy Wang‚ Director of Research at the Institute for Family Studies‚ concluded that after studying relationships for 20-years‚ marriage and having children makes women happier‚ in an exclusive piece forDaily Mail.Wang noted that around a third of all adult women suffer some sort of mental health problem‚ compared to a fifth of men and that the mental health issues are particularly apparent in the 18 to 25 age group.Wang noted that though her take may be controversial‚ the explanation for the sea of sadness is that too few women are getting married.She noted that in 2022‚ only 47 percent of women from 18 to 55 were married in the United States. Additionally‚ in 2021‚ only 28 out of 1000 women got married.The issue with those dwindling rates of women getting married is that women who arent married are worse off‚ Wang noted.Studies have shown that married women have a lower risk ofdeveloping heartdisease‚ areless likely to diefrom heart disease and have longer lifespans in general than non-married women‚ she wrote.Wang also found‚ from the results of various studies‚ that there are immense health benefits for having a family.Some 40 percent of married mothers - both heterosexual and lesbian women - aged under 55 reported that they were ';very happy'; with their lives‚ compared with 22 percent of single‚ childfree women and 25 percent of married childfree women‚ according to 2022 General Social Survey. Only 13 percent of divorced women say they';ve reached this level of happiness.Wang was sure to note that being in a relationship with one another is key to happiness and that spouses provide a stronger bond than any other relationship. She also insisted that even though raising kids is a challenge‚ extensive research has shown that the rewards outweigh the negatives.Clare Boothe Luce Center for Conservative Womenconducted a survey recently and found that young women prefer femininity over feminism. These results and Wangs findings go hand in hand. Getting married and raising a family are things that bring joy to women.Unfortunately‚ however‚ these results are up against the rise in the boss babe mentality that has been popularized online.Wang called this a glamorization of childfree life and the popularization of being a DINK‚ which represents a married couple without kids (dual income no kids).These sentiments are being absorbed nationally. Only 24 percent of women under 30 believe that women who get married and have kids live fuller and happier lives than those who dont‚ according to a 2023 poll‚ Wang added.To conclude‚ Wang gave a PSA to single women:Marriage is not a cure-it-all magic wand‚ but the data tell us that the average American woman who is married with children is markedly less lonely and living a more meaningful and joyful life.So‚ to millions of young women who are at the start of adulthood: Do not let your fears of failing in love and family‚ or a slavish devotion to career‚ hold you back.Do not allow popular misconceptions to keep you from enjoying the benefits of marriage and motherhood.Prioritize relationships in your twenties‚ cultivate friendships with other marriage-minded young adults‚ be open to a relationship that could lead to marriage‚ and embrace marriage and parenthood when the time comes.Fellas‚ it';s time to put a ring on it and ladies‚ it';s time to say YES!
