Around the witching hour, when Trump’s victory wasn’t quite official but definitely a reality, the normally more buttoned-up crew covering the election for PBS let its fear and anger fly. First up -- before signing off from Donald Trump’s victory party at 2:58 a.m., reporter William Brangham went on the petulant rant he’d apparently been holding in for several hours of coverage.

Conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt stormed off Friday’s edition of Washington Post Live and resigned his columnist position shortly afterwards after liberal associate editor Jonathan Capehart claimed he didn’t “appreciate being lectured” after Hewitt called out fellow panelist Ruth Marcus’s fake news about Donald Trump. Hewitt gave Capehart his wish, “I won’t come back, Jonathan. I’m…

PBS News Hour sought to answer the question on Friday of why Kamala Harris is struggling with male voters. Both New York Times columnist David Brooks and Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart agreed that it is important not to “downplay the role that sexism” plays here.

The NBC-Telemundo poll showing Vice President Kamala Harris with a historically low level of support among Hispanics has begun to trigger some of the usual reactions at MSNBC, including the tired “adjacent to whiteness” trope.

Washington Post associate editor and PBS News Hour talking head Jonathan Capehart was triggered on Friday when the American Enterprise Institute’s Danielle Pletka argued that President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris’s record on Russia isn’t the greatest. While he found Pletka’s arguments to be “incredibly insulting,” he never actually debunked them.

For all of the media odes to Kamala Harris and her “joy,” the Friday edition of PBS News Hour may have been the most effusive. New York Times columnist David Brooks declared “it’s just who she is,” host Geoff Bennett mused about “attacks on her joyful warrior approach,” and Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart claimed “she is the culture.”

Four years ago this week, the media elite despaired that the death of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg would shift the balance of power on the Supreme Court to the right.

The Republican and Democratic conventions are over, and it’s clear which party was the favorite of taxpayer-supported PBS. Not even the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump quelled the overwhelming negativity with which the PBS panel greeted the Republican Party Convention (RNC) in Milwaukee in July. Yet a month later, Vice-President Kamala Harris and a familiar crew of…

The following are the most egregious examples of leftist journalists holding up the Harris-Walz ticket, while trashing Trump-Vance over the last month.

One piece of PBS’s coverage of the last night of the Democratic National Convention unwittingly confirmed media labeling bias on PBS and other “mainstream “outlets. First, Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart hailed the Democrat’s vice-presidential nominee Tim Walz for using the supposedly less frightening and more convincing term “gun safety legislation” instead of “gun…

Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart and New York Times columnist David Brooks recapped the Democratic National Convention on Friday’s PBS News Hour by contrasting its “jubilation” and “patriotism” with the “hate” that came out of the RNC’s “weighted blanket.”

There was an overload of absurd, obnoxious and over-top outbursts from leftist journalists during their coverage of the Democratic National Convention. The NewsBusters team worked literally day and night to track them down. The following are the worst outbursts from leftist journalists during the Democratic National Convention. 

Reporter Laura Barron-Lopez set the scene for Night Three of the Democratic National Convention on the preceding episode of the PBS News Hour Wednesday evening, looking back with joy at Barack and Michelle Obama’s speeches from Night Two.

News Hour co-anchor Amna Nawaz opened PBS’s Night Three convention coverage by also finding “a message of hope” in Barack Obama’s…

On Night 2 of the Democratic Convention, anchor Amna Nawaz was talking to former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in the PBS booth when they were joined by veteran PBS journalist Judy Woodruff. Nawaz took advantage by tossing aside her journalist hat and hosting a heartfelt feminist kaffeeklatsch hailing VP Kamala Harris, the Democratic presidential candidate, as a feminist hero on “the…
