Geoff Bennett

On Wednesday’s PBS NewsHour, co-host Geoff Bennett conducted a 13-minute interview with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, and it was challenging – from the Left.

PBS News Hour White House correspondent Laura Barron-Lopez had an eventful Monday show. Within the span of two minutes, she managed to omit that a recently deported visa holder admitted to attending Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah's funeral and interviewed Law Professor Kim Wehle, who suggested Trump’s immigration policies writ large should merit a third impeachment.

The liberal media had a predictably sour reaction to President Trump’s speech to Congress. Yet one year ago, these same networks used Joe Biden’s 2024 State of the Union speech to dishonestly proclaim the obviously faltering 81-year-old was brimming with energy and ready for a second term.

Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart lamented to PBS News Hour host Geoff Bennett on Friday that Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s podcast appearance with conservative Charlie Kirk, where he dissented from the party line, continued the nation’s alleged inability to have “nuanced and thoughtful” conversations about transgender people participating in women’s sports.

Tuesday’s PBS News Hour featured guest Brian Stelter, editor of CNN’s Reliable Sources newsletter (and reliable white knight for the mainstream media) to discuss the “chilling effect” of the Trump Administration blocking the Associated Press from the White House pool of reporters.

New York Times columnist David Brooks is theoretically supposed to be PBS News Hour’s conservative half of its weekly Friday news recap with Washington Post associate editor and MSNBC host Jonathan Capehart. However, he constantly fails to live up to this arrangement, and this Friday was no exception, as he alleged that people all over the world will die because the Trump administration simply…

Four weeks into the second term of President Trump, it's painfully clear that the "Public Broadcasting Service" loathes Trump and his "government efficiency" czar, billionaire Elon Musk. They don't say the reason out loud, but Musk has made clear he thinks "public" broadcasting should be defunded. He's Public Broadcasting Enemy #1. 

PBS’s regular Monday political conclave with Cook Political Report’s Amy Walter and NPR White House reporter Tamara Keith ran hotter than usual, with concerns about President Trump’s purported assault on the First Amendment fanning the fear flames, leading the panel to make ridiculous defenses of the non-partisan (!) Associated Press.

Against the backdrop of Elon Musk’s budget-cutting initiatives, Washington Post associate editor and MSNBC host Jonathan Capehart got triggered on Friday’s PBS News Hour when the American Enterprise Institute’s Matthew Continetti reminded him that former President Joe Biden abused executive power on his student loan order. Capehart argued that comparisons were “apples and…

On Monday, PBS News Hour’s White House reporter Laura Barron-Lopez called up the liberal media’s campaign-period name-calling of re-elected President Trump as “the convicted felon,” while skating over Biden’s preemptive family pardons. Co-anchor Amna Nawaz launched the festival of excuse-making on outgoing President Biden’s behalf: "President Trump's second term officially kick-starts…

During Monday afternoon’s coverage of President Trump’s second inauguration, the co-anchors of the coverage, PBS News Hour hosts Geoff Bennett and Amna Nawaz, were disturbed on ex-President Biden’s behalf by the prominent seating of corporate tech chieftains, and repeated Biden’s hypocritical warning about a rising Trumpian “oligarchy."

PBS News’s coverage of Donald Trump’s second inauguration featured PBS News Hour co-anchors Geoff Bennett and Amna Nawaz and included Laura Barron-Lopez, stationed at the White House. Barron-Lopez, as always, was a reliable defender of the Democratic president, adopting a pro-Democratic double standard on the last-minute pre-emptive family pardons issued by Joe Biden, an…

As catastrophic wildfires rage across southern California, the corporate liberal media are engaged in all of their nastiest habits at once in their coverage of the disaster. From fevered shrieking about climate change, to blind defense of inept Democratic officials, to obligatory fits of Trump-bashing, their reporting on of the California wildfires perfectly highlights everything that makes…

Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart did a touchdown dance of sorts on Friday’s PBS News Hour as he celebrated Donald Trump’s “great punishment” of being formally sentenced to unconditional discharge that history “will have to” mention.
