More public broadcasting arrogance was on display on the tax-funded PBS weekly political roundtable Washington Week Friday evening, as journalists huddled around their tax-supported digital fires to brainstorm ideas on how to trip up Republican candidate Donald Trump’s appeal in 2024 by denying him live coverage, as if the press is the first and final arbiter of who should speak…

Thursday's PBS News Hour featured liberal journalistic handwringing over 2024 candidate Donald Trump’s CNN live town hall from New Hampshire, filled with adoring fans and questioning from CNN’s Kaitlin Collins.

On her Saturday MSNBC show, Katie Phang said that Daniel Penny was guilty of "murder" in the subway death of Daniel Neely.

Kevin McCarthy has been the frequent target of criticism by Morning Joe. But on Tuesday's show, praise was heaped on him, with Mika Brzezinski leading the charge, for the strong statement he made, while in Israel, in favor of continuing support for Ukraine. 

CNN This Morning repeatedly mentioned an alleged culture of misogyny and sexism at Tucker Carlson's show, contributing to his firing by Fox News. But no mention is made of the notorious instances of sexism and misogyny of Don Lemon, the co-host of CNN This Morning until he was recently fired by CNN.

Conservative radio host Dan Bongino tore into a number of leftist so-called fact-checkers for their connection to activist, leftist billionaire George Soros.

CNN This Morning's segment on the 10th anniversary of the Boston Marathon bombing fails to make any mention of the fact that it was perpetrated by two jihadi terrorists.
