Hating GOP, Hailing Democrats: PBS’s Very Biased Convention Coverage
The Republican and Democratic conventions are over, and it’s clear which party was the favorite of taxpayer-supported PBS.

PBS Harkens to 'Joyful Warrior' Harris Rekindling Excitement of Obama
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.
