On the Media, Trump Army Birthday Parade

NPR's On the Media is criticized for its biased coverage of Donald Trump's appearance at the Army's birthday parade. The report claims Trump was "glum" due to sparse crowds and poor poll numbers regarding his immigration agenda. The hosts argue the program has shifted from media criticism to pure political propaganda against the administration.

US Army 250th Anniversary Parade, Trump Birthday Coincidence

President Trump hosted a massive military parade in Washington D.C. to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army, featuring tanks, historical uniforms, and robot dogs. Media coverage from the BBC and PBS highlighted that the event coincided with the President's own birthday, leading to accusations of politicizing the military. Correspondents noted that while the administration claimed high attendance, many seats on the National Mall appeared empty under overcast skies.
