Laura Barrón-López

PBS News Hour White House correspondent Laura Barron-Lopez, whose reporting down the homestretch of the 2024 presidential election has so far been wretchedly partisan, was at it again on Friday’s edition, painting a potential second Trump Administration as a threat to the lives of transgenders, and even chiding the Biden Administration for suggesting transgender surgery on minors…

White House correspondent Laura Barron-Lopez has been extremely protective of fledgling Democratic candidate Kamala Harris, and Thursday evening’s PBS News Hour opened with ten minutes of Barron-Lopez celebrating Harris and bashing her Republican critics as racist. She aired Donald Trump’s counter-argument from a campaign rally (“Trump portrayed Harris as a liberal extremist”), then…

PBS’s biased coverage of Night Three of the Republican National Convention began even before the main event, on Wednesday evening’s PBS News Hour, aiming not only to fact-check the Republicans but even to suggest some Republican voting “misinformation” was dangerous. The tax-funded network’s first fact-check target was…reality TV star, Savannah Chrisley, who discussed her family’s…

Taxpayer-supported PBS kept its News Hour crew on deck for Thursday night’s first (and only?) Trump-Biden debate of the 2024 presidential election cycle, airing on CNN and simulcast on PBS. While other liberal networks were loaded with panic, PBS's White House reporter stuck to repeating the desperate campaign talking points. 

The PBS News Hour went after Donald Trump and Fox host Greg Gutfeld for talking boldly about the 2024 election. They categorized it as "right-wing disinformation" and brought on a "nonpartisan" expert (ahem: leftist) who predicted there would be civil war in 2023 over elections. Oooops.

Monday’s PBS News Hour handed over a news segment to an ostensible ratings rival, NBC News and its reporter/podcaster Mike Hixenbaugh, who has a new book out with the portentous title They Came for the Schools -- One Town's Fight Over Race and Identity, and the New War for America's Classrooms. Hixenbaugh and his onscreen NBC reporting counterpart Antonia Hylton have…

Hunter Biden, son of the president, was found guilty by a Wilmington, Delaware jury Tuesday of three felonies related to a gun purchase he made in 2018 while under the influence of drugs. PBS NewsHour reporter Laura Barron-Lopez empathy-fueled story hailed President Joe Biden both as father figure and defender of the judicial process, while Trump "repeating baseless accusations…

On taxpayer-funded National Public Radio, All Things Considered has an online listing of story order. Hunter Biden's verdict was #9! Guess what was #1: Sam Alito. “Secret audio raises new questions about Supreme Court Justice's impartiality.”

Thursday evening’s PBS NewsHour warned of Trump persecuting his political opponents in a second term, and they pretended that no one is presently prosecuting his political opponents in their first term. Anchor Amna Nawaz dragged out the "without evidence" swagger.

President Biden’s surprise executive order to limit (on paper, anyway) the number of migrants seeking asylum on the southern border led the PBS NewsHour on Tuesday, in a story and a following interview that alternately covered for President Biden (he’s no immigrant-hating Trump!) and chided Biden from the pro-open-borders left (though there is doubt among conservatives as to how tough…

Reporters might admit the Trump convictions are a "political gift" for the Democrats, but they still claim there's "no evidence" the prosecution was political -- and especially, that anyone could claim Biden and his administration were behind it. The networks strongly suppressed the painfully obvious notion that Democrats are prosecuting Trump to damage his re-election chances.

The PBS NewsHour quickly rounded up its semi-regular focus group of Republican voters one day after Donald Trump’s conviction in a Manhattan courtroom on 34 felony counts for falsifying business records. They touted that six of nine in their collection of PBS-approved 2016 and 2020 Trump voters said that Trump’s conviction had made them less likely to vote Trump in 2024. Only one was…

Taxpayer-funded PBS is just like CNN or MSNBC as it paints the Republicans as falling off a "far-right" cliff, while the Democrats have no "far left" extreme. The PBS NewsHour brought on disgruntled ex-Republican Joe Walsh to slam one primary challenger in Texas as a "far-right, gun-loving kook." So much for civility on PBS.

Before it compared Trump to Hitler, Thursday’s edition of the PBS NewsHour made the Justice Alito flag controversy an all-encompassing scandal. First the network’s Supreme Court expert Marcia Coyle discussed the Supreme Court’s decision to allow a Republican-drawn congressional district in South Carolina to stand, but segued into the controversy over two flags being flown over two of…
