NPR Nudges Jonah Goldberg: Trump Is Cheney’s ‘Frankenstein Monster’
5th November 2025
As part of their breaking-news coverage of Dick Cheney’s death, NPR’s Morning Edition turned to Jonah Goldberg, who tweeted “Dick Cheney, a great man, has passed after an amazing life. RIP.” The “great man” part didn’t come up on NPR.
NPR morning anchor Steve “Obama’s Always Cool” Inskeep had to make Cheney’s death about Trump.
NPR didn’t exactly think that was Cheney flip-flopping on everything he ever believed out of personal spite. Pro-Trump analysts would have Inskeep that voting for an abortion-loving socialist who wanted to fund transgender operations for prisoners wasn’t “ironic,” it was two middle fingers at the Republican Party. But Goldberg said Yes to irony.
