PBS Attacks GOP For Deficits While Attacking Spending Cuts
The trio of PBS News Hour host Geoff Bennett, Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart, and New York Times columnist David Brooks tried to have it both ways on Friday. The three men attacked the GOP’s Big Beautiful Bill for its negative effects on the deficit, but also its spending cuts, meaning PBS either wants to raise most people's taxes, but is too…
PBS News Hour Finally Turns to Tapper & Thompson, Winces at 'Coverup'
Surprise! The PBS News Hour finally arrived on the Jake Tapper-Alex Thompson book after ignoring it longer than the other networks. PBS anchor Geoff Bennett began by suggesting the word "coverup" might be a "loaded phrase."
PBS Twists Democratic Shoving, Discrimination Into Trump REVENGE
On Wednesday’s edition of the PBS News Hour, co-anchor Geoff Bennett twisted a legitimate arrest of a Democratic congresswoman for pushing and shoving federal agents into a Trump revenge tour against his “perceived political adversaries.” As if a victim of Democratic lawfare and two assassination attempts doesn’t have actual enemies?
PBS Fights Tooth and Nail for $1B Americorps Spending, Laments Debt
More than any other news network, the PBS News Hour has devoted the first few months of the second Trump administration focusing on the sad stories of Trump administration budget reductions, finding sympathetic victims to more effectively personalize the trauma and harm supposedly done. Then it turns around and runs a story about Moody’s downgrading the U.S. credit rating due to the…
PBS: Pope 'In Line With The Gospel,' But Not 'Right-Wing Politics'
The cast of Friday’s PBS News Hour joyfully welcomed the election of Pope Leo XIV on Friday as they tried to claim him as one of their own as all hailed him as the anti-Trump figure the country needs, but all also avoided any parts of Leo that might make them uncomfortable.
Column: PBS, the Pelosi Broadcasting Service
Last week, PBS and San Francisco PBS station KQED hosted a “Reframe Festival,” and PBS News Hour anchor Geoff Bennett conducted a scandalously sappy interview with Nancy Pelosi. Nearly every question Bennett teed up for Pelosi requested the “Democratic counterargument” to Trump, and no questions about forcing out Joe Biden.
PBS Raises 'Constitutional' Bar for Deporting Illegals: Trials Needed?
Wednesday’s PBS News Hour fretted over the “wrongful deportation” of the media’s favorite Maryland resident, illegal immigrant Kilmar Abrego Garcia, back to El Salvador, and suggested that it's unconstitutional not to give every illegal immigrant a trial before deportation.
After Devastating DOGE Hearing, PBS Claims the RIGHT Dominates Media
If PBS felt any concern about the hit its reputation for balance took at Wednesday’s devastating DOGE hearings, Thursday’s PBS News Hour didn’t show it. That episode took advantage of a series installed after Donald Trump won a second term, the pompously titled “On Democracy,” to suggest Project 2025 was a threat to democracy. Worse, PBS used that “On Democracy” rubric to enshrine a…
On PBS, Marcus Accuses Bezos Of Trying 'To Limit Dissent' At WashPost
With Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart away, his former colleague Ruth Marcus stepped up to pinch-hit for him on Friday’s edition of PBS News Hour. At the end of the discussion with New York Times columnist David Brooks, Marcus claimed the reason she left the Post is because owner Jeff Bezos is trying “to limit dissent” at the paper despite…
PBS Host Pushes Schumer to Be 'Tactically Ruthless' Like Republicans
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 Suggests Third Impeachment For Trump's Immigration Policies
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.
FLASHBACK: Nets Praised Faltering Biden’s ‘Feisty,’ ‘Fiery’ 2024 SOTU
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.
Capehart Laments Lack Of 'Nuanced' Discussion On Men In Women's Sports
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.
PBS, Stelter Agree About Trump’s Kremlin-Style ‘Chilling Effect’ on AP
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.
