In May 2016, a report found that only half of articles covering public charter schools in major outlets were neutral or balanced. Perhaps liberal reporters saw that report and thought they were being too objective, because two biased, anti-charter pieces have come out in major outlets in the past week.

First, it was Anya Kamenetz, NPR’s lead education blogger. On June 24, Kamenetz published a piece questioning the success at Rocketship charter schools, a network of 14 public charter schools, most in San Francisco’s Bay Area.
