Nets Gave Nearly 2x Coverage to Pre-Election Jobs Vs. Jobs Revision
Remember that blowout September 2024 jobs report the broadcast networks slobbered over in October just before the presidential election? Well, the government admitted last week to a big whoopsie in configuring the jobs numbers. Sure enough, ABC CBS and NBC were clearly not as keen on letting viewers know they just mindlessly swallowed up what the Biden administration spit out for political…

Pathetic PBS: ‘Critics Are Alarmed About the Influence of PragerU…’
Monday’s PBS News Hour alerted its viewers to a new right-wing threat: Education videos? “Why critics are alarmed about the influence of PragerU’s educational videos," the online heading read. “Alarmed” is a strong word, a promise that journalist Stephanie Sy’s actual report failed to fulfill, Noteworthy that it’s PragerU’s right-leaning world-view expressed in the educational videos…

PBS Doubts Trump Can Be a Good Leader After Charlie Kirk's Murder
The cast of Friday’s PBS News Hour expressed serious doubts that President Trump can be the leader the nation needs after the murder of Charlie Kirk. Through a combination of misrepresentations, hypocrisy, and omissions, the assembled trio of anchor Amna Nawaz, New York Times columnist David Brooks, and MSNBC host Jonathan Capehart condemned Trump’s response to the crime.

NPR Reporter Admits 'Sob Stories' on Deportations 'All Over the Place'
On Monday’s PBS News Hour, co-anchor Amna Nawaz discussed the latest arrest of the media’s favorite Maryland man, illegal immigrant and alleged gang member Kilmar Abrego Garcia, mistakenly deported to El Salvador and held in prison there before being ordered returned to the United States. The show’s Monday political discussion with NPR’s Tamara Keith also brought up Trump’s crackdown…

PBS Guest Blames GOP, American Gun Culture For School Shootings
Boston Globe columnist Kimberly Atkins Stohr pinch-hit for MSNBC host Jonathan Capehart on Friday’s PBS News Hour and, during the discussion on the Annunciation Catholic School shooting in Minneapolis, blamed the GOP and its embrace of gun culture for mass shootings in America. New York Times columnist David Brooks wasn’t much better. While he refrained from that…

PBS Distorts Trump Smithsonian Crusade, Hosts Prof to Rant on Jim Crow
Don’t question tax-funded museum wokery: The last segment of Wednesday’s PBS News Hour presented leftist historian Peniel Joseph to jump on a social media post by President Trump claiming the Smithsonian Institution had gone overboard dwelling on American slavery. PBS is the latest network rankled by Trump’s insistence that the Smithsonian museums emphasize America’s greatness and not…

Brooks Claims Trump Ordered 'Mustard Gas' Attack 'On Our Democracy'
New York Times columnist David Brooks may have officially lost it. On Friday’s PBS News Hour, Brooks reached back over 100 years into the time machine to pull out an analogy that says what President Trump and Texas are doing on redistricting is the equivalent of the German use of mustard gas in World War I.

'Why Have People Not Risen Up?': Brooks Praises Harris on Colbert Show
New York Times columnist and the allegedly conservative half of Friday’s PBS News Hour’s weekly news recap, David Brooks, praised former Vice President Kamala Harris’s recent interview with Stephen Colbert and agreed with her that “civic capitulation” to President Trump is “a real thing.” Meanwhile, MSNBC host Jonathan Capehart explained he quit his job at The Washington…

PBS's Anti-Israel Omissions on Gaza Hunger, Hamas Health Ministry
The PBS News Hour’s bizarre post-October 7 enmity toward Israel has blared bright the last few days, eager to portray Israel, fighting for existence against a soulless enemy, Hamas, as a cruel invader purposely starving Gaza’s infants. PBS’s coverage of late has been guilty of bias by omission, spewing phony figures and hunger anecdotes from the Hamas-controlled “Health Ministry”…

PBS’s Anti-Semitism Expert: Columbia Settlement Was ‘Ransom’ to Trump
The taxpayer-defunded PBS News Hour Wednesday retained its hostility (as documented in a Media Research Center study) against the Trump administration protecting Jewish students and faculty from the Hamasniks marauding elite liberal campuses in protest of Israel’s defensive war in Gaza. Wesleyan University president Michael Roth made another News Hour appearance ridiculously…

PBS Can't Stop Trashing Argentina’s Triumphant 'Far-Right' Prez Milei
One more reason to defund PBS: Their reporters and researchers have no respect or understanding of libertarianism or libertarian voices (except on issues when libertarian ideology happens to match their own). Just see how PBS has covered Argentina’s president Javier Milei, whose radical reforms since taking office in December 2023 have already born fruit, as inflation, running rampant when…

Will GOP Senators Consider How PBS and NPR Gently Promote the DNC?
One easy way to see how NPR and PBS are taxpayer-funded Democrat Party platforms is to witness their recent interviews with the chair of the Democratic National Committee, Ken Martin. Neither turned to touchy internal issues, specifically the brief career of David Hogg as a DNC leader. The questions seemed geared to this: How do we win? Will Senate Republicans consider this on the…

'It's Shameful': PBS Bemoans State Department Cuts
The cast of PBS News Hour came together on Friday to decry the “shameful” nature of that day’s layoffs at the State Department. While New York Times columnist David Brooks and Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart would claim the move would negatively impact U.S. foreign policy, their reasons for doing so were not convincing.

Trump-CBS Settlement: PBS Puts On Stelter to Cry 'Ransom' or 'Bribe'
CNN media analyst Brian Stelter posed as Journalism's Hero again against the powers of censorship, i.e. the Trump administration, on Wednesday’s PBS News Hour. Trump’s latest sin? Paramount agreeing to pay $16 million to President Trump’s future presidential library to settle a lawsuit over CBS’s news program 60 Minutes (Paramount owns CBS) for selectively editing an…
