PBS Praises CNN Host's 'Terrific' Book on 'Towering' Jesse Jackson
Monday’s PBS News Hour invited Abby Phillip, liberal host of CNN's NewsNight with Abby Phillip, for a gush-fest over “A Dream Deferred,” her new book on the former inflammatory Democratic politician Jesse Jackson.

PBS's Left Hook: GOP Redistricting 'May Disenfranchise Black Voters'
The Supreme Court seems set to use a case regarding a map laying out U.S. House of Representatives districts in Louisiana in order to overturn Section 2 of the 1965 Voting Rights Act, which would end the practice of racial gerrymandering -- majority-black districts carved out in a way that all but guarantees Democratic representation. Monday’s PBS News Hour segment on the controversy…
PBS Prods Retired Justice Kennedy to Condemn Newly Conservative Court
On Tuesday’s PBS News Hour, hosted retired liberal-leaning Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy and tried to get him to condemn the current right-leaning Supreme Court for being too pro-Trump, while making liberal assumptions regarding Kennedy’s judicial philosophy. Kennedy, who retired in 2018, talked about his new memoir, Life, Law & Liberty.
STUDY: ABC, CBS, PBS NewsHour Spike National Debt During Shutdown Mess
With all the media banter surrounding the ongoing government shutdown, ABC, CBS and PBS NewsHour seem to have conveniently forgotten that the national debt was even a major issue in this whole mess. Perhaps by emphasizing the multitrillion-dollar debt at all, the networks would be putting the Democrats in the hot seat for continuing to drag their feet on the negotiations.
PBS Hails Gaza Deal, But Freaks Out Over James Indictment
The Friday evening cast of PBS News Hour featuring moderator Geoff Bennett, MSNBC host Jonathan Capehart, and New York Times columnist David Brooks briefly broke character to heap praise on President Trump for his role in securing a ceasefire agreement that will see Israeli hostages return home. However, the trio quickly reverted back to form and freaked out that New York…
STUDY: Be My (Leftist) Guest Again: Defunding Didn't Stop PBS TILT
On the April 16 PBS News Hour, as federal funding for both PBS and NPR was coming under heavy fire, co-PBS News Hour, co-anchor Amna Nawaz boasted that on her program, “we regularly invite and host conservative and Republican voices.” But is that true? Two new Media Research Center studies tracked and labeled every guest who appeared on the PBS News Hour and NPR’s…
PBS Defunded of Humor Too? Trump's 'RACIST Videos' of Hakeem Jeffries
Wednesday’s PBS News Hour featured dueling Democrat-Republican interviews on the government shutdown, from House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) and Rep. Mike Haridopolos (R-FL). Can you spot the difference? Nawaz: "We have also seen the president continue to post these racist videos with a sombrero superimposed on Leader Jeffries' head. Why does he keep posting those? What's…
Capehart Gets Triggered When Told Shutdown Is Bad For Democracy
A Friday episode of PBS News Hour where New York Times columnist David Brooks manages to actually say something that fully triggers MSNBC host Jonathan Capehart is a rare occurrence, but this Friday Capehart could not tolerate the idea that Democrats are the ones corroding democracy with their government shutdown.
Comey Gets Indicted, PBS Wails About The 'Erosion Of Our Democracy'
The trio of host Geoff Bennett, New York Times columnist David Brooks, and MSNBC host Jonathan Capehart gathered together on Friday’s PBS News Hour to announce, yet again, that democracy is dying. This time, the culprit is the Department of Justice and its decision to indict former FBI Director James Comey.
Column: Beware 'Public Media' Advocating for Violent Antifa Radicals
President Trump issued an Executive Order designating Antifa as a “domestic terrorism organization.” Our "public" broadcasters are some of the most enthustiastic bamboozlers for Antifa. They're just a "scapegoat" for Trump.
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…
PBS Arrives Late to Charlotte Train Murder: 'Seized on by Republicans'
Weeks after it happened and days after other networks belatedly picked up the story, PBS News Hour on Tuesday arrived on the scene of the stabbing murder of Ukrainian refugee Irina Zarutska aboard a light rail train in Charlotte, North Carolina. Host Geoff Bennett painted the tragedy as a cynical Republican talking point, one "that claimed the life of a young Ukrainian refugee and has…
PBS LEAPS on Lefty Boycott: Target Is 'Reeling,' a 'Growing Backlash'
Friday’s PBS News Hour unleashed a strangely energetic fusillade against the retail behemoth Target for supposedly bowing to Donald Trump and discreetly rolling back its so-called "diversity, equity, and inclusion" (DEI) initiatives, hosting the pastor leading the left-wing boycott and parroting his talking points. The segment is particularly jarring given the hostile fashion…
