PBS Allows Panelist Tiffany Smiley to Support Trump, Rip Spanberger
Live PBS coverage of Trump's State of the Union speech offered a surprising balance to the usual liberal tilt. They allowed Tiffany Smiley to sit on the set and be strongly pro-Trump in her analysis, especially at the end, when she ripped Gov. Abigail Spanberger as a fake moderate and a "Trojan horse for the far-left policies" of the Democrats.
PBS Lies About George H.W. Bush's 1992 Supermarket Scanner Encounter
On Monday’s PBS News Hour, co-anchor Geoff Bennett used a discussion of President Trump’s upcoming State of the Union address to dredge up a hoary piece of liberal media mythology that helped doom the re-election chances of Republican President George H.W. Bush in 1992. It originated with liberal hack Andrew Rosenthal of the New York Times, who got an entire front-page story…
PBS Scorns New Job Numbers: People ‘Might Feel’ They’re in a Recession
While ABC World News Tonight admitted that “a strong new jobs report tonight, the U.S. adding 130,000 new jobs in February, more than double the number expected,” and NBC Nightly News announcing "We have good news on the economy" (CBS Evening News made no mention, while CNN didn’t know what to think), PBS was the Debbie Downer of the lot Wednesday evening, under the…
PBS Guests Invoke Hitler, Jim Crow Over ICE-Election Conspiracy Theory
Boston Globe columnist Kimberly Atkins Stohr and Washington Post counterpart Kathleen Parker pinch-hit for Jonathan Capehart and David Brooks, respectively, on Friday’s PBS NewsHour, where they teamed up with host Geoff Bennett to invoke Adolf Hitler’s Mein Kampf, chief Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels, and Jim Crow all over a conspiracy theory about ICE…
PBS Promotes Race-Obsessed Sportswriter and Lionizes a Stalinist Toady
One way "public" broadcasters demonstrate their dramatic leftist bias is by which books and authors they promote. PBS News Hour featured an interview by co-anchor Geoff Bennett of Howard Bryant, former ESPN The Magazine “Truth” columnist and perpetual racial grievance machine, lionizing the famous black actor and Stalinist Paul Robeson.
Bennett talked to Bryant about his new…
Capehart Accuses ICE of Having 'Kidnapped' People
MS NOW host Jonathan Capehart joined PBS News Hour on Friday for his weekly news roundup with New York Times columnist David Brooks and launched several context-less attacks on ICE, including that it has “kidnapped” people. Brooks wasn’t much better, for he accused ICE of “violating due process rights, First Amendment rights," and the "Bill of Rights.”
Ilya Shapiro Rebuts PBS on Trump's Power: 'People Have Short Memories'
Tuesday’s PBS News Hour identified guest Ilya Shapiro as a “conservative legal scholar,” a rare type of guest (most show guests are liberals are don’t get an ideological label). Also rare on the network that purports to a deeper more nuanced look at issues – the substantive discussion that took place between he and co-anchor Geoff Bennett. That substantiveness was due almost…
PBS Helps MS NOW's Soboroff Blame Trump and Musk for L.A. Wildfires
On Friday night's PBS News Hour -- two nights after they devoted nine minutes to recovery efforts on the Los Angeles wildfires without mentioning Karen Bass, Gavin Newsom or the word "Democrats" -- they promoted a new book by MS NOW reporter Jacob Soboroff that mostly blames Donald Trump and Elon Musk for causing the most damage with their "disinformation."
PBS Maintains Hostile Anti-ICE Tone Over 3 Days of Minnesota Coverage
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Agent Jonathan Ross shot Renee Nicole Good in her SUV during an immigration enforcement operation in Minneapolis on Wednesday, after giving her an order to get out of the car which she failed to obey, instead trying to leave the scene in her car, resulting in the fatal shooting. Throughout its coverage, PBS leaned heavily on a selection of facts…
Brooks: Won't Judge Minneapolis, But ICE Has Acted 'Like Thugs'
The trio of PBS News Hour host Geoff Bennett, MS NOW host Jonathan Capehart, and New York Times columnist David Brooks assembled on Friday to discuss the situation in Minneapolis. While Bennett failed in his moderating duties to mention new evidence that would seem to justify the ICE agent acting in self-defense, Capehart was still certain that he was in the wrong. Brooks,…
Brooks Claims 'Gigantic Portraits' Of Trump Remind Him Of Stalin, Mao
New York Times columnist and PBS News Hour talking head David Brooks loves himself some Stalin and Mao analogies. Back in May, he compared Elon Musk and DOGE to the murderous dictators. This Friday, he compared President Trump, the renaming of the Kennedy Center to the Trump-Kennedy Center, and “gigantic portraits” of Trump to the communist tyrants and claimed it reminded him…
PBS: Family of Trans Teen Flees Texas, ‘Refugees in Their Own Country’
PBS News is still riding the wrecked and discredited transgender train. One would have hoped PBS would have hopped off given the increasing piles of evidence on the consequences of irrevocable “gender-affirming” operations, the lack of science backing up the emotional blackmail claims of the movement, and the departure of trans-obsessed reporter Laura Barron-Lopez for the proudly left-wing MS…
LOL: Stewart, Maddow, PBS, and Others Given Walter Cronkite Awards
For elite journalists, being compared to Walter Cronkite is considered a great honor, so when the Norman Lear Center at the USC Annenberg School for Communications and Journalism announced their 2025 Walter Cronkite Awards for excellence in political journalism on Wednesday, it gave insight into who the industry views as the best of the best. For everybody else, the 2025 winners were a…
STUDY: PBS News Hour Labeling's Hard-Line Hostile Toward Conservatives
PBS News Hour guest and anti-Trump activist Miles Taylor of “Anonymous” media fame whined about President Trump’s top adviser calling the Democratic Party a domestic extremist organization in an August 27, 2025 segment: “That’s really, really scary language.” So it’s fascinating how often PBS itself uses similar “really scary” hostile labeling habits against conservatives but almost…
