Reporter Laura Barron-Lopez set the scene for Night Three of the Democratic National Convention on the preceding episode of the PBS News Hour Wednesday evening, looking back with joy at Barack and Michelle Obama’s speeches from Night Two.

News Hour co-anchor Amna Nawaz opened PBS’s Night Three convention coverage by also finding “a message of hope” in Barack Obama’s…

On Night 2 of the Democratic Convention, anchor Amna Nawaz was talking to former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in the PBS booth when they were joined by veteran PBS journalist Judy Woodruff. Nawaz took advantage by tossing aside her journalist hat and hosting a heartfelt feminist kaffeeklatsch hailing VP Kamala Harris, the Democratic presidential candidate, as a feminist hero on “the…

The “excitement” began right from the introduction of PBS’s coverage of Night Two of the Democratic National Convention from Chicago, which featured consecutive speeches by Michelle and Barack Obama. Co-anchor Geoff Bennett set up this T-ball of a question: “And former president Barack Obama speaks to the city that helped launch his political career.” Next, in a staged soundbite, someone off-…

Although he appears as the ostensible voice from the right on the PBS News Hour’s Friday evening political discussion, New York Times columnist David Brooks is no one’s idea of a hard-core conservative. He said “I love Joe Biden” before criticizing Biden’s angry speech on Night One of the Democratic National Convention, after previously stating “I do think Donald Trump is…

While covering Night One of the Democratic convention from Chicago, PBS News Hour reporter Laura Barron-Lopez was as energized as a Democratic delegate (or PBS’s introductory voiceover to its coverage), gushing over a “Kamala Cake” featured by a local bakery and relaying the “palpable enthusiasm” from the convention floor. Barron-Lopez, who usually covers the White House, was quite…

The PBS News Hour promoted more liberal election fear-mongering, this time from the ostensibly objective but actually leftist American Bar Association. Anchor Amna Nawaz was eager to push its fear against the threat of authoritarianism in America under a second Trump term as a bipartisan concern by pairing former Obama DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson with retired "conservative" judge…

The PBS News Hour on Wednesday continued to act as a get-out-the-vote movement for the Harris/Walz Democratic presidential campaign, with the second guest appearance on the program of Abdullah Hahmoud, the Democratic Muslim mayor of Dearborn, Michigan. It wasn’t a challenging interview, but instead a delicate probe to see if the pick of Walz (and not the Jewish Pennsylvania Gov. Josh…

Washington Free Beacon editor-in-chief Eliana Johnson was forced to correct PBS News Hour host Amna Nawaz on Friday after the latter claimed “there’s no evidence” Democratic VP nominee Tim Walz has embellished his military resume. Johnson correctly pointed out that, on the contrary, “there’s no question” he has “padded and inflated his resume.”

After the Kamala Harris campaign named Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate, PBS News Hour anchor Geoff Bennett conducted a cozy interview with his fellow Minnesota pol, Sen. Amy Klobuchar, on Tuesday evening, and quickly transformed himself into a liberal media cliché. Bennett: "The Trump campaign is already pouncing, calling him dangerously liberal and saying that the Harris/Walz…

As the Middle East braces for war, a major news story broke yet went unreported across the major evening network newscasts: The United Nations’ Palestinian relief agency, known as UNRWA, fired nine employees over their potential involvement in Hamas’ barbaric October 7th attack against Israel. 

PolitiFact may have teamed up with PBS for the remainder of the 2024 election cycle, but perhaps they should be checking PBS News Hour instead because on Friday, host Amna Nawaz falsely claimed Donald Trump was using “more dangerous, kind of, vicious language” in targeting “black and brown immigrants” than he was in 2016.

PBS’s biased coverage of Night Three of the Republican National Convention began even before the main event, on Wednesday evening’s PBS News Hour, aiming not only to fact-check the Republicans but even to suggest some Republican voting “misinformation” was dangerous. The tax-funded network’s first fact-check target was…reality TV star, Savannah Chrisley, who discussed her family’s…

Night Two of coverage of the Republican National Convention was “Make America Safe Once Again,” with politicians and ordinary Americans making speeches relaying stories about crime and the illegal immigration that causes some of that crime. PBS reporters and anchors sounded the alarm from the start, warning that Republicans are trying to instill unwarranted fear and anxiety in voters. At 7:08…

The PBS News Hour crew is clearly heartsick that the Democrats are in a crisis over Joe Biden's mental decline, and they know their liberal audience wants to change the subject back to Horrible Trump. Sounding like a taxpayer-funded MSNBC host, PBS anchor Amna Nawaz described the former president as a budding authoritarian full of lies in the Friday pundit roundtable with David Brooks…
