On Friday’s PBS NewsHour, Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart hailed Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s “incredible speech” where he trashed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as an obstacle to peace and called for new Israeli elections. His counterpart, New York Times columnist David Brooks, tried to have it both ways, claiming he agreed…

What’s the most upsetting thing about the sentence, “An illegal alien violently murdered a 22-year old nursing student?” If you work in the corporate news media, the answer is the word “illegal.” When President Biden referred to the illegal alien who allegedly murdered Laken Riley in cold blood as “an illegal,” the news media sprang into action and rushed to the violent felon’s defense.

On Saturday night, conservative Twitter pounced on President Biden's interview with Jonathan Capehart for MSNBC.

PBS congressional reporter Lisa Desjardins after the speech: “You may have seen this on the screen. House Republicans were not listening to that speech, by and large.

There is something about the border crisis that has caused New York Times columnist David Brooks to remember that he is supposed to be the conservative half of PBS NewsHour’s Friday Brooks and Capehart weekly recap segment.

After outspoken Vladimir Putin critic Alexei Navalny was murdered on Friday, Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart joined PBS NewsHour to claim that former President Donald Trump “emboldened” Putin and clearly looks forward to a Trump win in November.

Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart and New York Times columnist David Brooks joined PBS NewsHour host Amna Nawaz on Friday to recap the week’s biggest stories, including Special Counsel Robert Hur’s report that claimed he could not win a conviction in President Joe Biden’s classified documents case because a jury would view him as a sympathetic old…

The fact that a union endorsed a Democrat is not exactly Earth-shattering news, but that didn’t stop Friday PBS NewsHour anchor Amna Nawaz from trying to claim that is as she hailed President Joe Biden’s allegedly “objectively good week.”

President Joe Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are having a bit of a disagreement about what post-war Gaza will look like and to make sense of it all, PBS NewsHour host Geoff Bennett invited foreign policy non-experts, Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart and New York Times columnist David Brooks to the Friday show to figure out why.…

Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart unleashed a real headscratcher on Friday’s PBS NewsHour as he took exception to the idea that Democrats are trying to kick Donald Trump off the ballot, declaring such claims to be “untrue” and Democrats have “nothing to do with” the efforts. Don’t expect Glenn Kessler to fact-check this one.
